Flush with a net worth of an estimated $500 million, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is already preparing for his post-basketball life.
The four-time NBA champion helps run a production company in Hollywood and has earned millions after buying into the Blaze Pizza restaurant chain before it blew up.
James, 36, could also find himself as a major power player in the housing community. According to the Los Angeles Times, his former Miami mansion just recently sold for $12.75 million. James originally purchased the estate for $9 million when he was a member of the Heat back in 2010. He ultimately sold it for $13.4 million five years later after returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The mansion is absolutely amazing.

LeBron James and real estate
Getting into real estate is nothing new for LeBron James. Back in September of 2020, James purchased a Beverley Hills mansion from the estate of late “The Bold and Beautiful” co-creator Lee Phillip Bell for a cool $37 million. Said residence includes eight bedrooms, nine bathrooms and a guest pool house. Yes, that’s a thing. Two years ago, he also bought a Brentwood area mansion for $23 million.
It’s by now well known that top-end NBA stars have their hands in a ton of things off the court. An executive producer in the movie industry and influencer in other aspects of the financial sector, James seems to stand above the rest.
