Bigger than Opes? Nah bruh. Oprah is known by EVERYONE in the world except the ones that have never seen TV or internet. Lebron surely is highly influential but more than Oprah who also didnt had god given talents but worked herself up(not saying Lebron didnt work hard) as a black woman in times that was not as easy as it is today(still not always easy so imagine) and really, nobody comes close to Oprah. Not MJ or Lebron certainly of which IMO MJ with his Jordan shoes that are literally fashion pillars every about 10 years and constantly bought inbetween I doubt Lebron is more influential. Outside of the US in nations that are not that interested in bball, they know Oprah, they know MJ, but Lebron? Believe me bruh they dont. The majority do not even recognise him by picture let alone by name. Not to down talk Lebron and his work of course. Just adding an asterix to your statement.
LBJ has done more good with donations, building schools and his social awareness and social message, than any other athlete in basketball. He gives a voice to the voiceless, a platform to speak out against injustice and an education to people in his own community. People how dislike/hate just project their own insecurities and are envious of things that they will never achieve. Mad props to King James and his Family!

He is just a grifting Influencer. An uneducated basketball player becoming a millionaire is pretty stupid, becoming a billionaire really speaks to how dumb American modern culture is.
@@noshotnova2432 Most NBA players are bankrupt soon after they retire, Lebron has come from humble beginnings and has done genuinely good things in his community and is a great influence on people, never being in the media for bad things. Lebron is a modern american dream story, grinding and making something of yourself, something you should take notes on.
@@noshotnova2432 He is extremely educated in the realms of basketball, professional athlete conditioning, and living life as a wildly successful celebrity business owner. The way you associate wisdom and experience with a piece of paper is immature and I hope you change your shallow perspective.
I can't help but think that if Kobe hadn't pass away too soon he would've been a billionaire too. His investment in Body Armor alone gave his family 400M after Coke bought it. And with his Oscar winning production company it would've been just a matter of time before he became one.
This iconic brother has kept the legacy 💯 from high school to NBA. His Priorities: Loves God, his beautiful family, loyal friends, former community and BB profession. He blesses others in his wise entrepreneurial and investment ventures. Being mentioned in published Forbes reports is an indirect way to respond to his haters. Speaks louder than words.
Now this is somebody I like to see become a billionaire! LeBron is someone who will use their money to build schools, fund education, support charity work etc. We need more good souls like LeBron to become billionaires.
@@chrismog286 just because you've witnessed greatness does not mean your eyes have exclusivity to it. There is nothing new under the Sun, things just look new to a young pair of eyes.
Bron deserves this, if you know his background you would know he barely showed up to school because his mom and dad weren't there for him like they were supposed to growing up. So instead of going into the streets he decided to put all of his focus and life into basketball. A truly inspirational athlete, I'm glad his potential wasn't wasted and he was able to achieve the dream a lot of boys and girls from that background aren't able to.
LeBron entered the league at a time when players were viewed as thugs with gangsta entourages, bad money managers, womanizers, dead beat dads of children with different mothers, etc. LeBron made it en vogue to live life whether single or as a husband and father, free of controversy off of the court and single handedly changed this perception for players in football and basketball especially to follow. LeBron’s shown athletes that stemming from their skills on the court or field, that them and friends can become successful business partners though structure, planning, education, and networking. Yet the man still has envious and miserable people who look forward to hating on him.
LeBron the businessman is just as great as LeBron the pro athlete. Glad to see he surrounded himself with folks that didn't siphon his money, but rather, turned his holdings into an empire!
In the modern era where his every move is watched and even taped and temptation is literally everywhere , he stayed clean and still loves his wife. That is just one of the reasons why he is a Great Man.
Nice content! Few years back i was assistant to a wealthy pen artist and within the short period i worked with him i observed that he had quite a chunk of investment everywhere, stocks, crypto, dividend investing to name a few, so he had revenues coming in from all angles. And in a year his worth doubled. With this I learned that the rich stay rich by investing.
I agree with this but the problem now is getting to make the right investments, Lots of people tend to lose their money while investing thereby making them lose interest and also end up discouraging other individuals around them.
@@fragrance4656 I think the major challenges investors face may range from controlling impulsiveness to the frail of compulsion. Most newbies and would-be investors often undermine and most often neglect the importance of technical analysis with regards to investing. Technical analysis overly predicts the movement of asset prices regardless of what is happening in the wider or broader market. Essentially, the process involves studying the paths of a particular asset movement in the past so as to establish a sustainable pattern that can be used to predict future movements or better still get an investment advisor who'd guide you and help you manage your portfolio just like my boss back then, He was working with an IA Anne Marie Martin and I would bet he still does. I can boldly recommend her because I've witnessed her performance first hand. She's the real deal.
No matter how many haters he gets, fact is he came from humble beginnings. His mum taught him well and he made the most of his situation despite all the pressure put upon him.
He had physical gifts, but then again so do plenty of sports stars. Lebrons success is entirely through savvy business and financial decisions, and he has created a basketball brand that is only rivaled by jordan. He has always been someone who is great despite not having many resources, and this is the biggest testament of it. Congratulations Lebron.
@@daintydiagnostics7238 yeah because if you have that much money you should care about every single person in this planet a whole 7 billion, YEAK OK MATE
Lebron has a great team of best friends setting at the round table with him he put through college. If those aren't real friends, then I don't know what to call it.
I know lot of people compare LeBron to MJ but I compare them out of basketball court I am amazed with his generosity helping others and speaking up on things that are wrong makes him greater person than MJ in my opinion. He is a great father and you don't see him getting caught up cheating and gambling stuff. He is a great role model and wish him success.
The move to the Lakers was key since the opportunities are far greater in LA than in Cleveland. SpringHill is definitely LeBron's crown jewel in his portfolio. Half of his wealth being in equity is a bit worrying considering the economic bubble we're currently in. Lyft has lost 70% of it's value in the last 12 months and peaked in value during the COVID bubble, along with much of the markets. I'd imagine that the numbers Forbes have used are only up to date as of last year, and most likely do not account for the last 12 months, which would be normal since most people delay reporting on their finances and try not to publicise them if it's not necessary to do so.
Well deserved for LeBron James, not only a excellent basketball player and smart business man, he also gives back to the community through his various initiatives, class act 👏👏👏
Moving to LA where his production company and multiple businesses were was the key. Life after basketball is getting closer and he's laying the foundation for his next chapter.

Salute King James! My favorite athlete of the modern era. No doubt he will someday add an NBA franchise to his portfolio. Congrats again.
The most prudent thing for everyone to do right now is to invest in other sources of income that do not rely on the government. Especially in light of the present global economic crisis. This is still an excellent opportunity to invest in stocks and digital currencies
@Nancy Abeyta shares are really positively changing people's lives all this i learnt through Thomas Anton.

He is a nice guy. He has new and earned money not given to him from a family trust.
Most millionaires in America did not inherit their money ..
@@LukasP143 Walton family? You have a soft chin.
He was broke when before NBA
Lebron has probably $500M in cAsh and the rest probably in equities and stocks.
He is smart, young fellas take note. If you are going a be athlete, musician or actor. You need to learn financial literacy.
there is no way he even has 500m sitting around doing nothing. Rich people dont carry a lot of liquid.
@@MR_ARKANSAS not cash but money that he can spend in his accounts
No limit black cards.
Nothing but Respect for LeBron man fr! This man making history in his family alone. Major Inspiration n Motivation for myself 🙌🏾
@@bluealvey Being a Chinese, I am so proud of sir James! TW and HK are provinces of CN 🇨🇳 💕
Couldn’t have happened to a better guy. Just the thought of how many of his people he helps secure the bag as he grows. One of a kind.

@@FlopstinReaves33 Awwww you poor pussycat. Anything else racist
So, according to Forbes, his net worth is the highest among active athletes in all of sports now? Impressive.
I think second if you count Soccer. I could be wrong however.
Billionaire while in the league is CRAZY 😂
This dude for sure is going to be a multi billionaire one day. He’s one of the most powerful and influential black person alive today. You have Oprah as well, but this dude is just on a different level.
Bigger than Opes? Nah bruh. Oprah is known by EVERYONE in the world except the ones that have never seen TV or internet.
Lebron surely is highly influential but more than Oprah who also didnt had god given talents but worked herself up(not saying Lebron didnt work hard) as a black woman in times that was not as easy as it is today(still not always easy so imagine) and really, nobody comes close to Oprah. Not MJ or Lebron certainly of which IMO MJ with his Jordan shoes that are literally fashion pillars every about 10 years and constantly bought inbetween I doubt Lebron is more influential.
Outside of the US in nations that are not that interested in bball, they know Oprah, they know MJ, but Lebron? Believe me bruh they dont. The majority do not even recognise him by picture let alone by name.
Not to down talk Lebron and his work of course. Just adding an asterix to your statement.
@@Herosennin ok calm down bro
I’m not a huge basketball fan but I like mr jame
Winning on and off the court! Dude is a LEGEND!!! A Tide that raised all boats! I'm incredibly happy for him and his family!
He has over 2 million Chinese child slaves making his shoes. Such a legend!
LBJ has done more good with donations, building schools and his social awareness and social message, than any other athlete in basketball. He gives a voice to the voiceless, a platform to speak out against injustice and an education to people in his own community. People how dislike/hate just project their own insecurities and are envious of things that they will never achieve. Mad props to King James and his Family!
@@DerianMcCrea insecurities he literally has millions of child slaves and Muslim slaves making all of his products. I think it’s crazy ppl are calling him a hero. He’s no hero!

She has really made name for her self,
Couldn't have happened to a more humble, charitable, and all around great man and player. Congrats King!
This is incredible! Can hate on a guy that has invested in his talents on and off the court - mad respect 🫡!!!
And is paying for 2300 poor kids to go to college
still in the league.lmaooo
insane

👑 James 🐐 very deserving man take so much hate it's a shame so thankful for you to keep blessing us with your game at almost 40 most consistent player in history
Nothing is free.
If he is a billionaire, his sponsors made multi billions through him
Of course, companies out there still own him
Lol that’s anybody. I’m pretty sure he’s aware of that. But for a black man to be able. That’s more than enough
@@fiji9793 I agree. I'm not black but if a country did not allow my parents bank loan, education, employment in regular jobs, etc. I'm not even here today. So glad LJ got paid what he is worth.

Lebron James: The American Dream
Lebron is a Legend, not only in basketball, but also outside the court. Respect
He is just a grifting Influencer.
An uneducated basketball player becoming a millionaire is pretty stupid, becoming a billionaire really speaks to how dumb American modern culture is.
@@noshotnova2432 Most NBA players are bankrupt soon after they retire, Lebron has come from humble beginnings and has done genuinely good things in his community and is a great influence on people, never being in the media for bad things. Lebron is a modern american dream story, grinding and making something of yourself, something you should take notes on.
@@noshotnova2432 He is extremely educated in the realms of basketball, professional athlete conditioning, and living life as a wildly successful celebrity business owner. The way you associate wisdom and experience with a piece of paper is immature and I hope you change your shallow perspective.
@@howisthatgay4275 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@noshotnova2432 I hope you get that hate out of your heart so that then you can start winning in life
I can't help but think that if Kobe hadn't pass away too soon he would've been a billionaire too. His investment in Body Armor alone gave his family 400M after Coke bought it. And with his Oscar winning production company it would've been just a matter of time before he became one.
officially he's at 650M so he's still a bit away but he fs will get there at some point
I guess this confirms that he is the GOAT! 😎
🤣🤣🤣
@@krces1 🤣🤣🤣 all the way to becoming a billionaire. While you live so pathetically.
This iconic brother has kept the legacy 💯 from high school to NBA. His Priorities: Loves God, his beautiful family, loyal friends, former community and BB profession. He blesses others in his wise entrepreneurial and investment ventures. Being mentioned in published Forbes reports is an indirect way to respond to his haters. Speaks louder than words.
Symptom of a collapsing country, making money by dribbling a ball instead of making real contributions.
Now this is somebody I like to see become a billionaire! LeBron is someone who will use their money to build schools, fund education, support charity work etc. We need more good souls like LeBron to become billionaires.
Bullshit. Lebron uses sweatshops in China to make money. Learn your facts kid.
It’s true but when the devil rules the earth it’s hard tbh but man Leking has done it 🔥☝️
💯
Sheep, you really think Lebron cares about you. He answers to the high ups (small hat people) before he does anything.
I love it. Even though I'm a LeBron critic because of his on court antics I love to see the brother succeed in life.
You’re good man that can differentiate between sports and real life , sad that people aren’t like that
lebron is GOAT 🐐 on court!
@@chrismog286 Wilt is the 🐐 young man
@@captainmike8359 all 🧢s young lad. But u r entitled to your opinion.
@@chrismog286 just because you've witnessed greatness does not mean your eyes have exclusivity to it. There is nothing new under the Sun, things just look new to a young pair of eyes.
I dont care about that goat stuff, im just here to congratulate lebron on achieving this huge accomplishment. Shoutout to the👑
Bron deserves this, if you know his background you would know he barely showed up to school because his mom and dad weren't there for him like they were supposed to growing up. So instead of going into the streets he decided to put all of his focus and life into basketball. A truly inspirational athlete, I'm glad his potential wasn't wasted and he was able to achieve the dream a lot of boys and girls from that background aren't able to.
LeBron entered the league at a time when players were viewed as thugs with gangsta entourages, bad money managers, womanizers, dead beat dads of children with different mothers, etc.
LeBron made it en vogue to live life whether single or as a husband and father, free of controversy off of the court and single handedly changed this perception for players in football and basketball especially to follow.
LeBron’s shown athletes that stemming from their skills on the court or field, that them and friends can become successful business partners though structure, planning, education, and networking.
Yet the man still has envious and miserable people who look forward to hating on him.
LeBron was already in every basketball related list, now here he goes on the Forbes list too 😂
And just like the NBA, he isn't nor will ever be #1 on it.
LeBron the businessman is just as great as LeBron the pro athlete. Glad to see he surrounded himself with folks that didn't siphon his money, but rather, turned his holdings into an empire!
The fact he still has the motivation to be the best is mind boggling tbh
stills has 40-50 years of life left ( GOD WILLING tomorrow aint promised) he making moves!
The GOAT on and off the court. Love to see it.
Man this is so inspirational
Magic is not far behind.. and RIP to Kobe.. without question he'd be right there too.. congrats to LeBron and his work ethic.
Magic would be if players got paid the same amount back then as they do today.
@@wowwt We Chinese loves Sir James 🇨🇳
Kobe did reach 1B but after he retired
Magic is a billionaire just check his company holdings
@@wowwt Magic came up in the Jordan era.. so just like Jordan, he has to earn more money outside of basketball.
He seem smart. Not surprised. Not an avid fan of him as a basketball player though. But he deserved his earnings.
Good basketball player but I wouldn't call him "smart"
The true definition of self made. If anyone deserves this, it is this man. Congrats Bron - keep inspiring!
In the modern era where his every move is watched and even taped and temptation is literally everywhere , he stayed clean and still loves his wife. That is just one of the reasons why he is a Great Man.
Such a gifted mind doesn't just transcend basketball it transcends whatever he decides to focus on IMO
Fair play to the guy. Probably the 2nd richest currently active athlete after Ronaldo

Was playing NBA 2K22 yesterday and the commentators in the game mentioned LeBron becoming a billionaire, I was stunned.
He chose to play it smart and avoid so many of the problems that plagued other promising players of the past.
This guy came from literally nothing to being a billionaire good on you king James 👑
a good role model to follow
Nice content! Few years back i was assistant to a wealthy pen artist and within the short period i worked with him i observed that he had quite a chunk of investment everywhere, stocks, crypto, dividend investing to name a few, so he had revenues coming in from all angles. And in a year his worth doubled. With this I learned that the rich stay rich by investing.
I agree with this but the problem now is getting to make the right investments, Lots of people tend to lose their money while investing thereby making them lose interest and also end up discouraging other individuals around them.
@@fragrance4656 I think the major challenges investors face may range from controlling impulsiveness to the frail of compulsion. Most newbies and would-be investors often undermine and most often neglect the importance of technical analysis with regards to investing. Technical analysis overly predicts the movement of asset prices regardless of what is happening in the wider or broader market. Essentially, the process involves studying the paths of a particular asset movement in the past so as to establish a sustainable pattern that can be used to predict future movements or better still get an investment advisor who'd guide you and help you manage your portfolio just like my boss back then, He was working with an IA Anne Marie Martin and I would bet he still does. I can boldly recommend her because I've witnessed her performance first hand. She's the real deal.
How can I get across to her?
She's on tel 'gram
I've come across her on a cnbc broadcast
No matter how many haters he gets, fact is he came from humble beginnings. His mum taught him well and he made the most of his situation despite all the pressure put upon him.
Man that thumbnail has LeBron Looking like LeBraham Jenkins
I like how he invests his money instead of spending it all----like some other athletes.
Invested it straight into China and turned a blind eye to the genocide they've been committing, what a hero
Congratulations to Lebron James, and shout out to Magic Johnson for inspiring fellow players into business.
Magic really showed them what it takes to become a Mogul
He's a remarkable man. He sees the need and he combats it with success. He is for all intents and purposes A BUSINESS MAN.

Welcome to the Billionaire club Lebron. We welcome you with open arms 💪🏽
Can I have some money?
He had physical gifts, but then again so do plenty of sports stars. Lebrons success is entirely through savvy business and financial decisions, and he has created a basketball brand that is only rivaled by jordan. He has always been someone who is great despite not having many resources, and this is the biggest testament of it. Congratulations Lebron.
Mom: go to college
Me:...
He thinking like a king 👑 with all his moves in life it’s time for other athletes too follow his blueprint & make a difference.
Except he isn't making a difference. He doesn't care about you.
@@daintydiagnostics7238 yeah because if you have that much money you should care about every single person in this planet a whole 7 billion, YEAK OK MATE

Lebron has a great team of best friends setting at the round table with him he put through college. If those aren't real friends, then I don't know what to call it.
He has well deserved all the money he earns.
I know lot of people compare LeBron to MJ but I compare them out of basketball court I am amazed with his generosity helping others and speaking up on things that are wrong makes him greater person than MJ in my opinion. He is a great father and you don't see him getting caught up cheating and gambling stuff. He is a great role model and wish him success.
This is the worst period in history. The poor are getting poorer and rich are getting extremely rich.
$1.2 billion in pretax earnings, how much will he be worth after taxes ?
The move to the Lakers was key since the opportunities are far greater in LA than in Cleveland. SpringHill is definitely LeBron's crown jewel in his portfolio. Half of his wealth being in equity is a bit worrying considering the economic bubble we're currently in. Lyft has lost 70% of it's value in the last 12 months and peaked in value during the COVID bubble, along with much of the markets. I'd imagine that the numbers Forbes have used are only up to date as of last year, and most likely do not account for the last 12 months, which would be normal since most people delay reporting on their finances and try not to publicise them if it's not necessary to do so.
It must pay well to simp for China 🇨🇳
G.O.A.T🐐🐐 1st EVER BILLIONAIRE! Congrats Brother!💪🏾💯🙏🏾❤️
NBA salary inflation certainly helped. You got role players now making $25 million like Draymond
Congratulations to Lebron. He deserves it.

Well deserved for LeBron James, not only a excellent basketball player and smart business man, he also gives back to the community through his various initiatives, class act 👏👏👏
he also loves to show his compassion for the CCP, those mean Hong Kong citizens deserve to be under direct control of China
Salute King James and CONGRATULATIONS on ALL your SUCCESSES!!!!!!!
America should have such a high tax rate that being a billionaire isn’t possible .
