LeBron James makes history as active NBA player
According to CNN, in 2022, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar maximised his business by generating $1.2 billion before tax deductions.
For the past 19 years, he has played for three different basketball teams, and his salary amounted to KSh 44 million.
Additionally, Forbes added that the athlete also made over KSh 105 billion from endorsements and other business ventures.
In addition to lucrative endorsement deals with Nike (NKE), AT&T (T), PepsiCo (PEP) and Walmart (WMT), Forbes said that LeBron structured his deals to include equity in those brands, giving him a cut of the upside instead of a quick paycheck.
The four-time NBA champion also has investments in fitness startup Tonal, the ridesharing company Lyft and eatery upstart Blaze Pizza.
Another lucrative investment for the basketballer is TV and movie studio SpringHill Entertainment, which Forbes values at around KSh 35 billion.
The studio helped produce Space Jam: A New Legacy, a movie he starred in that earned KSh 17.8 billion ($163 million) in box office receipts worldwide.
In an interview he did in 2014, he said becoming a billionaire was one of his greatest dreams, and he made it happen.
