LEBRON JAMES IS FIRST ACTIVE NBA PLAYER TO BECOME A BILLIONAIRE

It’s good to be the King. 

LeBron James is now the first active NBA player to build a net worth of $1 billion.

The Los Angeles Lakers star, four-time NBA champion and the league’s No. 2 career scorer, raked in $121.2 million from May 2021 to May 2022 in on-court salary and off-court earnings, according to Forbes.

LeBron James Wanted to Launch Own Nike Brand and Sign Luka Doncic

News of Stephen Curry officially launching his own sub-brand with Under Armour making headlines earlier this week prompted a lot of discussion about LeBron James, with many questioning why he hasn’t established his own Nike sub-brand.

LeBron James is once again an NBA champion. This is his fourth NBA title and this one was unlike anything we’ve ever seen. He’s now won a title with three different franchises.

He just won a title with the Lakers and won yet another Finals MVP award. He’s now legitimately in striking distance of MJ and those six titles. Will he be able to get there? We’ll have to see, but he’s closer than ever and on a pretty damn good Lakers team.
