The NBA player was born on the of August 22, 2001, and grew up in Chino Hills, California, USA.
He went to the SPIRE Academy in Geneva, Ohio, after graduating from the Chino Hills high school.
Also, he comes from a family of basketball players. His father,
LaVar Ball, was a former Football and basketball player in college, and his two brothers,
LiAngelo and Lonzo, have also followed in their father's professional footsteps.
LiAngelo is trying to make the NBA while Lonzo is currently playing for the Chicago Bulls.
LaMelo Ball’s most crazy moments are very recent. In the 2020 NBA draft,,
Ball was selected with the third overall pick by the Charlotte Hornets.
He and his brother Lonzo, who was chosen No. 2 overall in the 2017 draft,
became the first set of brothers to both be drafted in the top 3 of the NBA draft.
Since then, LaMelo has not ceased to gain popularity and of course, lots of money.
LaMelo has a current net worth of… wait, we’ll get to that later. First,
you need to know that LaMelo Ball is a very unique personality in the NBA and never shies
away from a lucrative lifestyle. Here are some of the ways LaMelo Ball spends his millions.
Horse Racing LaMelo has been making a lot of money, at least,
more than most of his peers before signing his rookie contract with Charlotte Hornets.
But one time, while playing for the Illawarra Hawks in Australia, the point guard got
injured and decided to rehabilitate and bond with his racehorse, which he named LaMelo.
Lamelo is a thoroughbred horse born in Australia in 2017. Racehorse Lamelo is trained by Anthony
Mountney out of Australia. Ball really enjoys horse racing and the good life.
Luxurious Charlotte Condo LaMelo Ball has a gigantic house in Jacksonville.
The house has a swimming pool, a helipad and a fantastic view of the Atlantic Ocean.
It's pretty close to the beach so there is a lot to do out there. Meanwhile,
it has 11 bedrooms and 18 bathrooms which might be required for a famous personality like him.
There is another indoor swimming pool in his house and it also has an outdoor spa area.
The house is next to Michael Jordan’s, who happens to be his neighbor. Michael probably wants to keep
LaMelo’s activities in check to ensure he remains an asset to the Charlotte Hornets. The kid is one
of the youngest players in the NBA and lives in a mansion next to Michael Jordan. What a dream!
Aside from his huge mansion, LaMelo bought a beautiful house in North Carolina for 2.5 million
dollars. The condo has three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms with over 3,000 square feet of space.
This gorgeous Charlotte condo has an open living and dining room, which gives the
condo a modern look. The kitchen is further designed with state-of-the-art appliances.
Additionally, the master bedroom boasts an enormous walk-in closet, with a spa bathroom.
Furthermore, the condo is equipped with a wet bar and a glassed-in solarium.
Ball’s condo is located in the Trust building, in Charlotte, NC.
The Trust building is known for attracting celebrities and athletes over the years.
Charlotte is the most populated city in North Carolina and his pad is one of the most exclusive.
Rolls Royce and Lamborghini Urus LaMelo first got himself a brand
new Rolls-Royce Cullinan, featuring Novitec’s Overdose widebody kit,
a set of massive custom wheels by Vossen, plus a bespoke interior.
The luxury SUV has been fully blacked-out, including the windows and taillights
yet boasts various red accents such as the grille badge,
Spirit of Ecstasy, fender badge, trunk lid badge, and wheel caps.
Now, because of the black theme, it’s hard to tell if this was actually a Black Badge model
to begin with or just a “regular” Cullinan. Car maniacs say it’s a Black Badge because
of those glossy red calipers. As for the interior, it features red leather throughout,
with the player's personal logo embossed into the headrests. Ball sure knows a lot about style.
Although it might not be as comfortable as his Rolls Royce,
Lamelo Ball also owns a yellow Lamborghini Urus.
LaMelo’s Lamborghini Urus was shown off by the folks at Champion Motoring,
certainly stands out on its own, even in a sea of other Lambo SUVs.
The main reason is that custom widebody kit by 1016 Industries,
although the tennis ball-like color theme and the 24-inch wheels clearly play their part.
The kit is comprised of a fender arch set, custom side skirts, a front aero lip, rear diffuser,
roof spoiler, and a trunk lid spoiler. This Urus also has a custom hood and for a unique touch,
the red brake calipers feature a sticker that says ‘Rare’, which could be a nod to how talented
Melo is on the court. LaMelos' Lamborghini Urus cost him a whopping 218,000 dollars.
Private Jet Imagine signing a
brand deal that comes with a private jet. LaMelo Ball was one of the top sneaker-free agents on
the market, once he made it clear that he was no longer associated with Big Baller Brand.
While his deal with Puma was a surprise given the lack of rumors surrounding it beforehand,
the reported figures will be even more eye-popping.
While the reports about the figures of Ball’s deal have been squeezed so far, the initial numbers
are big. The deal is rumored to be around $100 million. On top of that, it also includes access
to the company’s private jet. To get LaMelo Ball to be the face of Puma, you gotta pay that price.
Diamond Grillz Some fans called out the 20-year old after a
video of him spotting and showing off an array of new and expensive additions to his mouth surfaced
online. The rich player's new teeth at the time were said to be made of diamonds, with eight of
the teeth in the upper mouth and another eight in the bottom half being cast in 14 karat gold.
The fans believed that the money from LaMelo Ball's contract could stop him from focusing
on his game; they think he will lose himself to the habit of lavishing the new money made
on the things that do not matter. LaMelo came out to clear all rumors of spending his NBA money on a
diamond grill. He believes himself to be smarter than that and will not squander all his money.
Scholarship He may have his teeth
plated in cold stone 14 karats, but his heart is all warmth with love. After signing the lucrative
deal with the Charlotte Hornets, LaMelo decided to give his mother, Tina Ball, something special
for her birthday. In an announcement credited to him, the youngest of the Ball brothers said:
“I'm excited about the 100 Yellowbrick scholarships for Vernon Middle School that
we're going to be giving out on behalf of my mama. She was my teacher, I would say, just for life,
helping me be a good person, who I am today, just how to treat people, how to be.”
So, it is thanks to LaMelo's generosity that hundred middle school children remained in
school, and this is a laudable effort for a youngster whose career is only just starting.
Basketball club The youngest of the Ball
brothers proved that he is not only about that fashion life when he bought the Illawarra Hawks,
a club he used to play for in Australia. It is uncertain how much the deal was worth,
but it must have cost a fortune that only a serious business person can match.
He was said to have struck this deal in the company of his manager,
Jermaine Jackson, who played in the top league some years ago.
This means that LaMelo may yet be the youngest basketball club owner worldwide.
