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‘ SpringHill Company has reportedly sold a “significant” portion of its minority stake to major companies RedBird Capital Partners, Fenway Sports Group, Nike (NYSE:NKE +0.55%) and Epic Games.
Warner Bros. has unveiled a series of new character posters ahead of the release of Space Jam: A New Legacy.
Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has hit another historical milestone in the NBA‘s all-time scoring list. James officially scored 32 points past the milestone of 35,000 in the recent Los Angeles Lakers versus Brooklyn Nets game.
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.
