LaMelo's dad Lavar has said it himself: Lonzo, LiAngelo, LaMelo will be NBA's 'first billionaires'
How many 16 year olds do you see pulling up in a Lamborghini?
That's what the youngest of the three Ball brothers arrived in to his sweet 16 birthday
party!
He's also been spotted parked on top of a White mercedes G Wagon and in the passenger
seat of a Porche Panarama S. There is a ton of money swirling around LaMelo Ball and the
Big Baller Brand which now has several revenue streams, including Big Baller sneakers and
other swaggy gear.
Plus their Facebook show "Ball in the Family," for which the family was paid Millions of
dollars allowing the family to pick up a $5.2 Million dollar pad refereed to as the Ball
Estate.
When LaMelo isn't chilling with his folks in their massive crib he's traveling the world
living in hotels in Europe and soon in Australia.
When it comes to the Rich Life of Mello we gotta remember his age.
He still enjoys some of the simple things in life including McDonald's and Candy like
Skittles and Kit Kat bars.
He has splurged on a few luxury items for himself including a chest set of tattoos and
a custom chain.
Not for him, for his puppy Chip.
Today we are taking a look at the youngest player ever to sign a professional basketball
contract.
At the time of this recording, LAMelo has just made the announcement that he will be
taking a trip down under to Australia where he will be playing in the JBA League earning
$3,000 a month and will receive 60% of the profits from his jersey sales which sell for
$80 dollars a piece.
If Melo can sell 1,000 jerseys that’s an easy extra $48,000 in his pocket!
But the big money of course will come when LeMelo makes it to the NBA, he's hoping to
be the number 1 Draft pick for 2020 and we hope it happens.
We also hope it works out better than it did for his brother Lonzo who was drafted 2nd
overall in 2017.
What's going on guys?
It's your boy Michael McCrudden back at it with another The Rich Life video.
This channel is now doing double uploads 7 days of week and to get all this done of course
I've needed to enlist the help of some new hosts.
There's Jeremy, Jarred and Marlon.
These guys are like my Ball Brothers which I guess makes me their Lavar.
Don't worry guys, I ain't going anywhere and we wanna work on some kind of giveaway for
the notification gang.
#FameGang.
As always be sure to let us know who to do next in the comments down below and one of
us will get er done.
I got a trivia question for you guys.
What did I think LaMello named his Rotweiler in his Before They Were Famous video.
Super fans will know, look forward to reading your comments and now let's get into this
video.
According to multiple websites LaMello has an estimated net worth of $700K at the time
of this recording the majority of which stems from his piece of the Big Baller Brand pie
the earnings which his dad says he gives all to his kids.
For an indepth look at Melo's come up story we recently dropped his Before They Were Famous
so let's roll a clip from that.
In 2017, Lavar pulled his son out of Chino Hills high school and put an end to any talk
that he was ever to attend UCLA although he had verbally committed when he just 13.
Instead Lavar home schooled Melo before taking both of his younger boys to Lithuania where
they would get paid to play some professional basketball.
This move made Mello the youngest basketball player to ever sign a professional contract.
The pay wasn't great with LaMello and LiAngelo only earning $500 Euros per month but it gave
them great practice playing against some twice their age.. it also gave them the ability
to take their Big Baller Brand to Europe and other parts of the world where they opened
up Pop Up Shops.
The company has been successful with pop-up shops, drawing thousands of fans to
events in China, Eurpoe and the United States.
Fans scoop up apparel to be signed by one of the Ball sons and some face to face time
with Lavar.
The majority of Melo's earning would come from his shoe line.
The Melo Ball 1's cost $400 and Lavar explained his master plan.
“If they sell a million within a year or two, I’m giving them all the money, so that’s
$400-500 million right there.
If all of them sell a million shoes in one year, that’s $1.4 billion in one year just
on shoes, straight to them.”
After spending time in cold and dark Lithuania, LaMelo said he wanted to re-enter the high
school world.
He would play for SPIRE, a prep school in Ohio.
Althout LaMello wasn't making any bank as a player there but that didn't mean the Big
Baller brand didn't find ways to monetize his game time.
One sporting event known as The Hoophall Classic received a request for a $10,000 appearance
fee in exchange for having Melo and SPIRE play at the event.
They also charged media outlets $3,500 to film him play ball as they marked the event
as the "Big Baller Beatdown."
It looks like it was worth every penny.
Of course the big pay day will come for Melo when he is drafted into the NBA.
When is brother Lonzo signed with the Lakers as the number 2 pick he signed a 3 year / $22.5
Million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers.
It was this money which allowed the family to afford their $5.2 Million dollar mansion
in Chino Hills.
The house itself is 13,800-square-foot home with a 1,200-square-foot guest house is a
three-story home with eight bedrooms and 8.75 bathrooms.
It has amenities like fenced-in swimming pool, multiple balconies, a gym, gourmet kitchen,
home theatre and an elevator.
It isn't just a mansion that the family has splurged on off of their Big Baller Brand
earnings.
They've also filled it up with all the goodies you could ever hope for.
There is a game room featuring arcade and pin ball machines.
Big Baller Brand pool tables and that's just the fun on the inside, on the outside they
have golf carts to ride around in, a golf course and a Jacuzzi and pool.
When it comes to cars well Melo was pretty sick of being spotted in the passenger seat.
So eventually he got the Lambo he had his eyes on.
I'm no car expert, I think that's an Aventador which cost around $300K.
If you know exactly what type of car this is let me know in the comments down below.
The family splurged on a number of luxury whips when Lonzo was drafted to the lakers
including a Ferrari, a G Wagon, a Rolls Royce and more.
We gotta remember LaMelo is still a kid, when asked what he couldn't live without he mentioned
McDonald's, Taco Bell, Skittles and Kit Kats.
He's also got his hands on a Rottweiler Pup named Dip.
Life is looking good for the youngest Ball brother who some are saying is the most talented
of all three of them.
In our last video my research said his dog name was Deuce but that's Lonzo's dog.
You guys were quick to correct me in the comments Him and Ashley also broke up a while back.
My bad!
I'm gonna read some of your comments.
