The LA Lakers player is the proud owner of numerous wonderful properties.
As the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, LeBron James made history last year when it was reported that he had agreed to a two-year, $97.1 million contract deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, making him the league’s highest-paid player ever. Given that he is one of the greatest NBA players in history, it is not surprising that he earns so much money. LeBron invested $103.9 million of his fortune in stunning property portfolios for himself, his wife, and their three children. Below are some of his incredible homes, the past as well as the present.
Inside LeBron James’ property portfolio
LeBron James’ Ohio home
LeBron made his first significant property purchase in 2003, shortly after joining the Cleveland Cavaliers. For $2.1 million, he bought a seven-acre piece of land in Bath Township, northwest of Akron, on which he later constructed a 30,000-square-foot mansion. The large house has eight full bathrooms, six half bathrooms, six bedrooms, including a master suite with a two-story walk-in closet. A two-lane bowling alley, a home theater, and a sports bar are available for entertainment. A recording studio, an aquarium, and a barbershop are also available. LeBron still owns the house despite switching teams, but after his extensive renovations, it is now said to be worth about $9.2 million.
LeBron James’ Brentwood Mansion
In Brentwood, a LA suburb, LeBron owns two properties. One of them, which appears to be his primary residence and is frequently shown on his Instagram, was one he purchased in 2017 for $24.5 million. The house was constructed that same year and has marble finishes in almost all of its rooms and a contemporary feel. With just under 16,000 square feet, eight bedrooms, and 11 bathrooms, it is spacious. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow for an indoor-outdoor flow between the main living areas and the large garden, just like in his Beverly Hills home. There are also full sliding glass doors in one of the main living rooms. Numerous luxurious features are included in the house, including a wine cellar, a game room with a pool table, a home theater, a cigar room with air-purifying technology, and a fully equipped gym that is split between inside and outside the house. Of course, LeBron’s home has a basketball court spa with a steam room, shower, sauna, and massage room that is directly connected to the gym. Even the rooftop terrace is accessible by elevator for breathtaking views.
LeBron James’ second Brentwood home
In 2015, LeBron purchased a 9,440-square-foot colonial mansion in the Brentwood region for $21 million. The house, made of stone and white brick and has six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, reportedly sat vacant for the majority of that time. The interior features a double-height foyer, a breakfast nook with windows, a modern kitchen, a wood-paneled office, and a home gym. The master bedroom includes a terrace, a two-way fireplace, and a separate sitting area. Another magnificent pool, an outdoor cabana, a three-car garage, and a basketball court are all located outside. However, in 2021, LeBron decided to sell the house and received $19.6 million after an initial bid of $20.5 million.
LeBron James’ Beverly Hills mansion
Most recently, LeBron spent $36.8 million on a sprawling, 13,000-square-foot Beverly Hills mansion comprising at least four separate buildings in 2020, which was his most recent home purchase. The house once belonged to Katharine Hepburn, although LeBron bought it from its most recent owners, Bill and Lee Phillip Bell, co-creators of the soap operas The Bold and the Beautiful and The Young and the Restless. The Mediterranean-style house, built in the 1930s, has 2.5 acres of land and breathtaking views of Los Angeles. It has four bedrooms, eight bathrooms, vaulted ceilings, a screening room, seven fireplaces, and entire walls of glass sliders for the best indoor-outdoor flow. It also has a large motor court for all of his vehicles.
LeBron James’ Miami mansion
Additionally, in 2010, LeBron spent $9 million on a three-story custom-built mansion in Coconut Grove, Florida, after switching from the Cavaliers to the Miami Heat. He got enjoyment out of his Miami pad while he owned it thanks to an eight-seat home theater, a wine cellar, a backyard pool area, and a private waterside balcony off the main suite, which he sold in 2015 for $13.4 million.
