Lakers star LeBron James turned his first-ever check that came ahead of his NBA career, into BILLIONS of dollars
LeBron James may be quite the player. But boy is he a business-savvy man as well.
Over the years, the King has made a plethora of different investments outside of the NBA, such as bringing up his very own production company and even having a Tequila brand that he endorses. So, it’s fair to say that the man is rolling in money, even when the NBA contracts are taken out of the equation.

As you may know already, LeBron James was drafted into the NBA, with unrivaled hype, at 18-years-old, in the 2003 NBA draft.
