LeBron James is no stranger to shattering NBA records. Following his recent two-year maximum contract, which pays the King $104 million USD, James is now the first player in league history to have earned half a billion dollars.
At the end of last season, James was reported to have earned $479,466,457 USD in salary across his entire NBA career. With his future $104 million USD paycheck, he will exceed the $500 million USD earnings limit. Currently, no other NBA player has earned more than $400 million USD. James’ off-court commercial pursuits and sponsorship partnerships also contribute significantly to his earnings.
According to reports, he became a millionaire in 2022. With his lifetime Nike contract alone, he is worth around $1 billion USD. When Apple paid $3 billion USD for Beats in 2014, he received $30 million USD from the acquisition. On the court, James recently set several records, including becoming the only player with 40,000 points, 10,000 rebounds, and 10,000 assists. He is also the league’s all-time leading scorer and playoff wins leader. James is preparing for the 2016 Olympics in Paris.
