For more than two decades, LeBron James has been one of the faces of the NBA. He’s won championships for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, and Los Angeles Lakers.

His success, however, transcends the basketball court. He took a page off Michael Jordan’s book, and has become one of the most successful businessmen in the sports industry.

A couple of years ago, he made the rounds for reaching an estimate value of $1 billion. Now, a report by Kurt Badenhauen of Sportico reveal he’s worth over $1.76 billion.
