Like most players in the NBA, LeBron James has made an enviable fortune through his NBA career. LeBron is a keystone at the Los Angeles Lakers and has remained a key player or talisman for all the franchises that he has played for. It is no surprise that his franchises paid him handsomely for his title-winning qualities. LeBron has put his money to good use by investing in various business ventures.

What is LeBron James’ Net Worth?

LeBron James is one of the richest players in the NBA. His current net worth is close to a whopping $850 million. LeBron’s huge NBA contracts and various brand endorsements have added to his net worth. The profit that LeBron makes from his investments in varied business interests also fuels his half a billion-dollar net worth.

Despite LeBron earning more than $1 billion over the course of his 18-year career, he is not a billionaire yet. LeBron is one of the league’s biggest superstars, but he is only the sixth highest-paid NBA player. His off-the-court endorsements, however, earned him $70 million last year. He signed a lifetime contract with Nike in 2016.
