He falls short only to Rihanna, Elon Musk, Kim Kardashian, and Bill Gates. Although NBA legend Michael Jordan has a higher net worth than James, he does not have a personal social media account. Due to this reason, it will be very tough for Jordan to beat James in this regard.
The same applies to Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry. The four-time NBA champion is estimated to become a billionaire in the near future thanks to his deal with Under Armor. However, he is nowhere near James when it comes to followers. Curry currently has 17.1 million followers on Twitter.
The only other person related to the NBA is Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. With a massive net worth of $4.7 billion, he sits at the 10th spot with 8.7 million followers.
