It can be recalled that LeBron James jokingly claimed he was 'broke' during a podcast appearance last year. Now, the clip has suddenly resurfaced online and is once again drawing attention as it sharply contrasts with the basketball icon's widely reported billionaire status.
The viral moment has prompted fans to revisit just how vast James' business empire has become. While the Los Angeles Lakers superstar insisted that Google's estimate of his wealth was inaccurate, publicly available figures suggest he remains one of the richest athletes in sporting history.
