Here’s How Much Money LeBron James Is Making From The Deal With Nike

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has been really successful, and his lifelong contract with Nike is probably one of the best deal he has ever signed.

LeBron has won a lot of games in the NBA, and he won his fourth ring at 35. Nothing in this world will ever stop LeBron from becoming even better. The king is taking a really good care of his business, and he never misses a chance to win a championship.

It was more than obvious that LeBron would become a top name in the NBA. He entered the league as an incredible talented player and the world got to know about him in high school. The talented kid from Akron earned his Sports Illustrated cover thanks to his impeccable talent.

LeBron James gets the best of his Nike deal

LeBron has lived up to the hype and he has been winning games for 17 years. The four-time NBA champion relies on his talent and brand name to succeed outside the floor. Everyone would agree that LeBron gets the thickest endorsement deals. His Nike deal is the best proof of that.

Well before joining the big court, LeBron received a seven-year $90 million deal by Nike. Believe it or not, he received so many offers back then. Nike’s offer wasn’t the best deal he got. Other brands offered more money, but LeBron decided to stick with Nike. It was a risky move, but LeBron got the best of it.

LeBron gave up an extra $28 mllion, and then agreed to sign a $1 billion deal with Nike. The whole thing happened in 2015. This was the biggest shoe contract a rookie has ever signed. LeBron was the biggest name in the world of sports back then.

The Lakers superstar is not a billionaire at the moment and has a net worth of $480 million. We all know that this number can easily go pretty high in the next couple of years. LeBron can definitely do that and much more. His endorsement deals are more than brilliant, and LeBron is well aware of that.
