It’s not a secret that NBA players make more money in one year than most people make in their lifetime, especially if we’re talking about a superstar like LeBron James, one of the wealthiest athletes in the history of sports.

James has made a living out of playing basketball but he’s also been quite savvy when it comes to doing business. He’s made a ton of investments and has countless endorsements and huge partnerships.

That means he has more money thanhe can spend in his lifetime. Hell, it means that no one in the James household has to work a day of his life for the next 15 generations. However, that doesn’t mean that The King is just handing out tons of cash.
