LeBron James seems to have accomplished every accolade there is to achieve in the league. Apart from his multiple NBA championships and individual awards, James has broken multiple records over the years as well. With that much success, ‘The King‘ has been able to accumulate a huge net worth of over a billion dollars. Yet, he was once called cheap by his former teammate, and the Los Angeles Lakers star’s latest Twitter activity can’t help but remind fans of those comments. 

LeBron James has earned a huge amount of money through his NBA contracts over the years. However, brand endorsements and other business ventures have catapulted him into the billionaire club. James has made sure that he won’t face any financial difficulties after eventually retiring from basketball.

LeBron James doesn’t care about the blue tick

Twitter has possibly become the most talked about social media platform ever since it was bought by Elon Musk. Among the various changes implemented by the second richest man in the world is his insistence on making users pay for a blue tick, which represents a verified profile. While the older users of the platform who already had it weren’t supposed to pay initially, Musk recently announced that legacy verification marks will be discontinued soon. After this update, James tweeted his displeasure as fans started reminiscing about his former teammate Dwyane Wade‘s comments about his spending habits.

It seems as if the Los Angeles Lakers star has now made an absurd appeal to the Twitter owner. James tweeted, “Welp guess my blue (tick emoji) will be gone soon cause if you know me I ain’t paying the 5.” Suggesting by his tweet, James has no plans on paying the fee and this doesn’t come as a surprise.
