On the court, LeBron James has won four MVPs, three NBA championships, and is the sixth-highest-paid player in league history.
Off the court, James is equally relentless. In late 2015, James signed a lifetime endorsement deal with Nike worth more than $1 billion — a move that was so big it is more like the merger of two corporations.
As a result of his success on and off the court, James has amassed amazing cars and houses and still has time for his surprisingly ordinary family. King James is also well on his way toward his goal of becoming a billion-dollar athlete.

LeBron has made $233.9 million in career NBA salary, good enough for sixth most all-time.

Barring an unexpected retirement, LeBron should join Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett in two years as the NBA's only $300 million players.
