Forbes said that the Los Angeles Lakers star has “maximized his business,” generating more than $ 1.2 billion in pretax earnings. His NBA salary di lui from three different teams during the past 19 years has amounted to $ 383 million, and James has “raked in upwards of $ 900 million in income from endorsements and other business ventures,” the magazine said.<\/div>\n
In addition to lucrative endorsement deals with Nike<\/span> (NKE<\/span>)<\/span>, AT&T<\/span> (T.<\/span>)<\/span>, PepsiCo<\/span> (PEP<\/span>)<\/span> and Walmart<\/span> (WMT<\/span>)<\/span>, Forbes said that James structured his deals to include equity in those brands, giving him a “cut of the upside instead of a quick paycheck.” The four-time NBA champion also has investments in fitness startup Tonal, ridesharing company Lyft and eatery upstart Blaze Pizza. <\/div>\n

Another lucrative investment for James is TV and movie studio SpringHill Entertainment, which Forbes values \u200b\u200bat around $ 300 million. The studio helped produce “Space Jam: A New Legacy,” a movie he starred in that earned $ 163 million in box office receipts worldwide.<\/p>\n

James has long dreamed of being a billionaire. <\/p>\n

“It’s my biggest milestone,” he told GQ in a 2014 interview. “Obviously I want to maximize my business. And if I happen to get it, if I happen to be a billion-dollar athlete, ho. Hip hip hooray! Oh, my God, I’m gonna be excited.”<\/div>\n

Notably, Michael Jordan is the only other basketball billionaire on Forbes’ list. He didn’t achieve that until 2014, more than a decade after he retired.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
