LeBron James – Net worth: $800 million
James has had a successful career in basketball, and the legendary NBA star has not only achieved great things on court but also built his wealth massively.
LeBron James boasts of lucrative deals racking up to $80 million, aside from his massive $48.2 million salary earnings in 2024.
James has also managed his huge earnings well by investing in businesses with all incomes and earnings culminating in his massive $800 million net worth.
Some of LeBron James’ owned businesses
Fenway Sports Group
James and his longtime business partner Maverick Carter made news when they acquired a stake in the Liverpool Football Club and the Boston Red Sox. It was made feasible by their investment in Fenway Sports Group, though. James and Carter have established themselves as key decision-makers for these teams in the future.
SpringHill Entertainment
James also owns SpringHill Entertainment, which serves as his foray into the filmmaking business. The company has produced movies including “Hustle” and “Space Jam: A New Legacy” (in which James starred) and television series like “Survivor’s Remorse,” “The Wall,” and “The Shop.”
According to Forbes, SpringHill Entertainment is worth over $300 million.
UNINTERRUPTED (Media company)
James also owns a media company named UNINTERRUPTED, where athletes can tell their own stories. It originally appeared as brief videos on Instagram or Twitter but it has since developed into feature-length movies and podcasts. The slogan “More Than An Athlete” gives athletes the freedom to express themselves as they see fit.
Blaze Pizza
In 2012, James entered the pizza business when he and his business associates invested a modest sum in Blaze Pizza. The modest pizza chain has flourished since the group spent about $1 million in it, with James’ stake equally increasing.
It is also important to note that James received a stake in Beats by Dre in exchange for promoting the headphones, a deal that would benefit the basketballer after the company was sold to Apple for the $3 billion. He received a $30 million check, which is “the biggest equity cash payout for a professional athlete in history.”
