LeBron James is first active NBA player to become a billionaire
LeBron James has a wide range of investments as he approaches the end of his NBA career.
LeBron James has added another title to his collection: billionaire. Forbes estimated the Los Angeles Lakers star’s net worth at $1bn in a report just published. He is the first active NBA player to reach the status.
Michael Jordan, whose net worth Forbes has pegged at $1.7bn, didn’t reach billionaire status until 11 years after he retired. Forbes estimated James earned $121.2 million last year, a figure eclipsed only by Lionel Messi, who brought in $130m.
