LeBron James becomes the first billionaire athlete to play in the Olympics
NBA players are certainly the highest-paid group of professional athletes throughout the world. LeBron James is also one of the highest-paid athletes in the world. But his NBA salary and earnings only rank him seventh on the list. It’s his smart investments and partnerships with brands like Nike that boost his net worth sky-high.
James recently added another record to his name by becoming the first billionaire athlete to play in the Olympics. With NBA salary and outside brand partnerships and investments, James currently has a net worth of $1.2 billion.
