When people talk of the greatest NBA players of all time, several names are bound to be mentioned. One which will undoubtedly be the divisive icon himself, LeBron James.
Recently, he became the all-time leading scorer of the NBA surpassing the long-standing records set by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. James hit 38 points against Oklahoma City Thunder. The game ended with a 133-130 score, making his total hit 38,390.
In 1889, Abdul-Jabbar’s mark was 38,387. The surprising fact – James was only eight months old when Abdul-Jabbar initially set the record. To honour this victory there was a brief break.
He has enjoyed an enviable run of 15 consecutive years in which he has ranked in the top 5 players in the league. LeBron is unique in so many ways, and he’s a proven class apart. He has become the league’s all-time points leader through sheer dedication and dominating his opponents for years. His phenomenal approach as a performer has worked great in acting and business too.
One of James’s lesser-known facts is that he likes to collect luxury mansions. In this blog, we will look at Lebron’s extensive property portfolio and all the other extravagant financial transactions he has been involved in.

Inside LeBron’s $52 Million LA Mansion
LeBron James is one of the highest-paid athletes in the world. With a reported net worth of over $450 million, he earns a whopping $40 million per year from just the matches he plays. All this money has allowed The King to live life in the fast lane and afford some of the most luxurious things money can buy. His latest mansion in LA is truly a testament to that fact.
Los Angeles, where James is mostly spotted, is one of the most glorious places in the world. The city is a common favourite for many celebrities, and James sure ranks top in that count!
Referred to as a masterpiece of design and light, the house boasts eight bedrooms and eleven bathrooms, accentuated with marble countertops, walls and a pleasing colour palette focused on white.
The well-lit kitchen boasts magnificent French range equipment with new-age black and white-toned marble countertops. The oak wooden floors, the brass details of lighting and kitchen cabinets add to the room’s aesthetic appeal. This stylish yet minimalistic kitchen design leads to the property’s airy and casual living space.
Luxurious living in Los Angeles is about incorporating the outdoors into your interiors. The black steel floor-to-ceiling and sliding doors ensure that this room gets all the natural breeze. The modern and classy decor of this space speaks a lot about the taste and personality of the star. A very subtle choice of interiors incorporated aptly along the furniture enhances the room’s overall ambience.
This lavish bedroom has a royal touch owing to the furry decor and the enormous master bed. The white walls and hardwood floor add contrast to the room. But the crowning feature of this room is the well-lit seating area with the curved bean couch and tree stump tables. The oversized artwork concludes with a touch of sophistication.
Dreamlike is the only phrase that comes to mind when you see this custom-made closet. This is definitely where the King keeps his Nike sneakers, hoodies, and Thom Browne suits. The stunning room also has jewellery and a watch case along with the priceless Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph Tourbillon.
The bold themed personal office slightly nods to LA’s Hollywood culture with the director chairs. The black wooden table and the chic chandelier make this the perfect place to examine an ever-growing portfolio and contemplate future life decisions. The dark colour scheme creates a cosy after-hours vibe that cannot be understated.
One can’t help but imagine all the legendary barbecues and pool parties that Lebron and his NBA buddies can have in this backyard. The vast green lawn and gorgeous pool, backed by decked chairs, make this one of the prime locations to party in LA.
Luxury Mansion in Beverly Hills
Built on over 2.5 acres of land, LeBron’s mansion in Beverly Hills has seven beautiful fireplaces, a pool house with two bathrooms, a theatre, and a professional tennis court. Incorporating a hedge-lined parkway, the mansion spreads over 9100 square feet, with four bathrooms and eight bedrooms. This estate was originally built in the 1930s but underwent various renovations and upgrades.
The 4-time NBA MVP reportedly forked out around $36.75 million for the Mediterranean style mansion, slightly below the original listing price of $39 million. The estate has been very well maintained by Hilton & Hyland. This mansion was originally owned by the legendary movie actress Katherine Hepburn.
Home in Ohio
In his first season as an NBA player, LeBron built himself an enormous 30,000 square feet mansion in his hometown, Ohio. This exquisite property has six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a movie theatre, a bowling alley, a recording studio, an aquarium, and his very own barbershop.
He acquired this property way back in 2013 for $2.1 million, and ever since then; he has worked towards expanding and remodelling the house. This mansion is sure to fit for a king of his stature, with it now being valued at over $10 million.
The King’s Love for Fast Rides
On the basketball court, James is truly unique. At the advanced age of 35, he has visibly slowed down in some areas of his game. But that does not mean that his superstardom has dwindled. LeBron has amassed over 1 billion dollars in salaries, which has enabled him to add some desirable cars to his garage. Some of the more popular cars in his collection are as follows:
1975 Chevy Impala
“Nothing beats American Muscle.” LeBron James has a fully restored Chevy Impala that The King likes to drive around from time to time. Currently, it’s worth over $30,000. This classic car beauty in his garage proves that James is a true car fanatic who truly knows his style.
2010 Chevy Camaro SS
Lebron’s Chevy Camaro is a custom painted white beauty that is truly the envy of every car fanatic. While the price might be quite low compared to some of the other cars in his collection, it is an impressive asset to park in the garage. He reportedly paid $40,000 for this car, and the custom paint and wheel job might have added to that sum.
Lamborghini Aventador Roadster
The Lamborghini Aventador Roadster is arguably the most iconic car in the King’s garage. This can be attributed to its truly eccentric green and yellow paint, completed with the floral vinyl design. This car has been made to match the design of his very own Nike LeBron XI Everglades sneakers. And it probably doesn’t hurt that this absolute beast can reach 100 km/h in less than 3 seconds.
What’s Next?
LeBron has created a name for himself and amassed immense wealth throughout his 16 years of NBA career. Often described as one of the most polarising athletes of his generation, no one can deny that he has been the greatest player of his era. Lucrative endorsements and movie deals have made him one of the richest athletes in the world. LeBron has a habit of collecting mansions like NBA championship rings, and we can’t wait to see him get his next one.
