The Los Angeles Lakers player became the first acting billionaire basketball player.
LeBron James rewrote his name in world sports history. According to Forbes, the Los Angeles Lakers player has officially earned billions of dollars. This was facilitated by another impressive financial year, in which the legendary athlete was enriched with $ 121.2 million.
Thus, James became the first current NBA player to be included on the list of billionaires. At the same time, he is only the second billionaire basketball player in history. However, Michael Jordan has earned that amount in retirement already. This happened in 2014 thanks to a timely investment in Charlotte, whose owner is “his wind”.
Note that of his billion, LeBron earned less than 400 million on the floor, the athlete received the remaining amount off the court.
In terms of earnings, Forbes ranked James as the second highest paid athlete in the world, after footballer Lionel Messi.
