About Me

LeBron James is the first active NBA player to become a billionaire. Born to a 16-year-old single mother, he lived with an assortment of family members, friends and neighbors, plus his youth football coach, before being drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2003. James has since gone on to earn upwards of $500 million in pretax salary from stints with the Cavaliers, the Miami Heat and his current team, the Los Angeles Lakers. He has raked in more than $1 billion (pretax) off the court, according to Forbes estimates, from his business ventures and endorsement deals with brands including Nike. Key to his billionaire status: James has been more than a pitchman, taking equity in brands he works with, including Beats by Dre. His LeBron James Family Foundation opened its first elementary school in 2018 and has pledged to spend more than $40 million to send kids to college.
