Lakers News: LeBron James Becomes First Active NBA Player With $1 Billion Career Earnings

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is truly one-of-a-kind, not just with his basketball abilities on the court, but also everything he does off of it as well. James is one of the most marketable players the NBA has ever seen and his number of ventures has made him one of the most recognizable people in the world.

Of course, it has also made him one of the richest athletes on the planet. While he has obviously made the most he can in the NBA, the majority of his wealth comes from outside investments, endorsements and projects such as his new movie “Space Jam: A New Legacy,” which topped the charts in its opening weekend.
