Lebron James earns $47 million annually from the Lakers.
$55 million annually from endorsement deals. That means you can live in the best houses
life has to offer. So, King James has already unlocked real estate tycoon mode.
So much so that LeBron bought himself a mansion as soon as he signed his rookie contract in Ohio.
But this mansion was a bit cheap. Just a little $9.2 million dollars.
Wait wait Cheap? I mean cheap for him. Because when you hear about the money this man
spent on his other mansions, you'll agree with me. Take this Brentwood Mansion, for example.
Lebron bought this huge crib for $23 million. And King James’s new palace was only just
built in 2017. So what kind of
features does the pad have? Let's take a look. With stunning views of Downtown Los Angeles
in one direction and the Pacific Ocean on the other, this home is certainly fit for a king.
The courtyard is laid in brick circles and offers plenty of space for LeBron’s
storied car collection that includes a Lamborghini Aventador, Porsche 911
Turbo S, and a restored 1975 Chevy Impala. Ooo man, Lebron is living everyone's dream.
So what's inside this mansion? How is the house designed? Let's have a look at it.
The luxurious pad boasts eight bedrooms and eleven bathrooms, with high-end amenities
like a wine cellar, theater, cigar room with air-purifying technology, and even an onyx bar.
Appropriately, the baller also has a top-of-the-line gym for staying in shape
during the off-season—built with an indoor-outdoor flow, the gym is directly linked to a spa with a
steam room, shower, sauna, and massage room. Out back, covered patios feature marble floors,
and a rooftop terrace reachable via elevator access offers stunning views.
Wait a Minute; Elevator???
Whatever, From the luxurious baths to the expansive living
room to the well-appointed bar, James’ serene and modern California home is fit for a king.
It’s clear. But, As I said
Lebron bought this mansion for $23 Million dollar. However, Lebron is determined
to make things a little crazier. Because, This crazy guy just added another
mansion to the Mansions list in 2020. This dude purchased a Beverly
Hills compound for $37 million. Ohh Lebron you must be kidding us man.
Other NBA superstars collect cars, you’re collecting mansions.
Do you want to know about this house too? Let's look at the details.
First of all, Mr. James, bought the longtime home of
the late daytime drama creator Lee Phillip Bell, whose “The Young and the Restless” and “The Bold
and the Beautiful” are among the longest running soap opera daytime TV series in U.S. history.
Bell, who died recently at the age of 91, owned the sprawling, 2.72-acre compound with her husband
and collaborator, producer William J. Bell, for decades, according to property records.
The estate has been kept in excellent shape, according to images of the home,
which was listed with Hilton & Hyland. It opens from a gated brick-paved driveway
that leaves the visitor in front of a sizable detached guest house.
Well, of course Bell moved to this mansion in the mid-'80s. You might also wonder who lived
in this house before that. Let me tell you.
Long before the Bells, the estate was reportedly home to legendary actress Katherine Hepburn.
Oh cmonn. Lebron not only bought an ostentatious mansion,
but also a mansion with historical significance. But you might think, how beautiful can
this house, built in the 1930s, be,? This castle is absolutely wonderful.
Because, Renovations over the years have also given it entire walls of glass sliders for
optimal indoor-outdoor flow, as well as numerous skylights and indoor fountains.
The mansion certainly has the proportions to accommodate all 6 feet and 9 inches of the
basketball star, with more than 9,100 interior square feet and vaulted, exposed-beam ceilings.
From the living room, where floor-to-ceiling glass doors slide away to the lawn beyond,
Mr. James, will get to enjoy panoramic views over the city. He’ll also have access to his own
lighted tennis court, pool and screening room. Ohh man, what I wouldn't give to chill in
this house with a glass of wine and a cigar. Luckily, Lebron does all of that for us, too.
By the Way, you might ask why Lebron bought this Beverly Hills Mansion when he already
has so many mansions in Los Angeles? “First of all, it’s very private,” says
local expert Sally Forster Jones, executive director of luxury estates for Compass. “That
would work for someone like LeBron James.” “It’s like a private resort, where you don’t
have to leave at all to go anywhere,” says Jones. This is an ideal perk for the basketball legend.
Despite the home’s large lot and privacy, the commercial district
of Beverly Hills is easily accessible. “It’s close to everything but still far
enough away so you have the privacy and you have the land,” she adds.

So, what would Lebron do after he was
transferred to Lakers? He couldn't fly from Ohio to
Lakers every day, could he? Hell no
