Currently the hottest player in the National Basketball Association, LeBron James' net worth comes partially from his multi-million dollar deals with his team, but it's off the court where he makes the most cash - just as he's about to delve further into the entertainment industry.
At 30 years of age and 6 feet 8 inches tall, LeBron James' net worth started rising over a decade ago, when he was first drafted by the NBA and began playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers, his home for many years until a 4-year hiatus, when he was bought by Miami Heat from 2010 to 2014.
These days, LeBron James' net worth - or rather, his paycheck - comes from the Cleveland Cavaliers once more, as he returned to the team where he became a star - a fact so celebrated by Ohio locals that even fictional Clevelander Ted Mosby from "How I Met Your Mother" (played by Josh Radnor) celebrated publicly, after the show had already ended.
Besides his work for the Cavaliers, a large part of LeBron James' net worth comes from his sponsoring deals, as off the court LeBron has a number of endorsement deals with some of the biggest companies in the world, including food industry brands like Dunkin' Donuts, Coca-Cola and McDonald's, as well as tech giants Samsung and Beats by Dre, plus sports brand Nike - in the meantime, it's Fenway Sports Group is in charge of marketing his rights globally, something that even granted him minority stakes at one of the biggest soccer clubs in the world, English Premier League team Liverpool F.C.
These days, the iconic player, often called the face of the NBA, is aiming to make LeBron James' net worth grow further from a completely different place: the entertainment industry! LeBron's production company, Springhill Entertainment, recently produced Amy Schumer's "Trainwreck" and made a deal with Warner Brothers, prompting rumors that he'll be involved in a "Space Jam" sequel.
Currently, Celebrity Net Worth reports LeBron James' net worth stands at $300 million, making an astounding $70 million per year on and off the court!
