LeBron James Signs Veteran Contract with 76ers, Remains NBA's Only Active Billionaire
LeBron James, the only active NBA billionaire with an estimated net worth of around $1.3 to $1.4 billion, has signed a two-year veteran's minimum contract with the Philadelphia 76ers. Despite a significant salary reduction from his previous $52.6 million season with the Lakers, James's wealth stems largely from endorsements, investments, and business ventures, including equity stakes in companies like Beats by Dre. He is a four-time NBA champion, four-time MVP, and the league's all-time leading scorer with over 40,000 career points.
