If James goes on to enjoy another season, he will claim that record for his own.James’ career has already become one for the history books in terms of both its success and longevity — and its value, helping to net the NBA pro an estimated fortune of $1.89 billion (US$1.

2 billion).And this extraordinary wealth has also helped him become a power player in another field: real estate. Over the years, James has amassed some amazing homes across the USA — enabling himself to live a extravagant lifestyle.

He purchased a six-bedroom mansion for $14m (US$9m) in the Coconut Grove neighbourhood in November 2010. He even snagged a bargain on the waterfront home, which had been listed for $18.7m (US$11.

California living — Brentwood and Beverly HillsJames picked up a stunning Brentwood property as his first purchase in California. Pictures: Realtor/MLS/GettyDuring his second stint with the Cavs, James’ eyes wandered out West. In 2015, Cleveland fans were dismayed to learn he had picked up a six-bedroom mansion for $33m (US$21m) in Los Angeles’ Brentwood neighbourhood.

By this time, James had made his entertainment-industry ambitions clear, so the purchase of a home near Hollywood seemed logical — even if it left Cavs fans worried that he had one foot out the door, again.

The win guaranteed him lifetime credit with Ohioans.Then, in 2017 — amid rumours of his intention to join the Los Angeles Lakers — he purchased another home in Brentwood, this one for $36m (US$23m).

One year later, the rumours proved true and James signed on to rejuvenate the Lakers franchise. He was content with his pair of Brentwood homes. Then, in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the league shut down, and James went house hunting.

He wound up with a real trophy residence — a compound in Beverly Hills once owned by the creator of the soap operas “The Young and the Restless” and “The Bold and the Beautiful.”LeBron James huge Beverly Hills compound.
