LeBron James is an 18-time NBA All-Star, four-time NBA champion, four-time NBA MVP, and a two-time Olympic gold medalist. Now, the King is also a billionaire.
Despite a disappointing campaign with the Lakers in 2021-22, which means he must watch the NBA Finals from the sidelines after missing the playoffs, James has achieved something no NBA star has ever done. According to Forbes , he has officially become a billionaire while still operating as an active player.
He is the first active NBA player to make the billionaires list, as Michael Jordan - the only other basketball billionaire - joined the ranks in 2014, nine years after the Chicago Bulls legend retired. James has surpassed the billion mark for his net worth after a year of earnings totalling $121.2 million (£97m).
