Some time ago, James officially became the first player in NBA history to earn more than $1 billion in professional income.
The $1 billion industry covers his career's salaries and investment projects. Second-place for active players is Durant ($580 million) and third is Curry ($430 million).
James's career-based contract salary has helped him earn about 310 million, and the other 700 million comes from his five companies!
James once said in an interview: "The rookie season realized that I wanted to be a businessman and control my business.
He established formal business relationships with a group of friends who grew up in Akron, Ohio, and created an entity called LRMR.
Namely, the acronym combination of LeBron James, Rich Paul, Marfrick Carter, and Randy Meems.
At that time, they were still a group of teenagers, and there were many people who questioned them. Speaking of skeptics who question his decision to put his future in the hands of industry laymen
"Who else is more trustworthy than someone I know?" We can learn together. Let's endure bumps and bruises together. Let us continue this journey as we experience failure. ”
James' subsequent investments by the good brothers proved to be successful, helping him to make a huge profit on the sidelines.
U.S. sports wearables brand WHOOP recently received $200 million in financing led by SoftBank's Vision Fund.
At present, the market value is estimated to reach $3.6 billion, making it the most expensive sports wearable device company in the United States.
Founded in 2011, WHOOP is a developer of smart sports bracelets, focusing on the development and design of health tracking and sports wearable devices.
James and American swimming legend Phelps are the brand's 100 initial investors.
Durant invested in the company shortly after James invested in the company, which was only worth $60 million.
Although Du Xiaoshuai often appears in front of the public camera with news of praising beautiful women, he is not ambiguous about business investment! It can be said that it is an investment genius and a business genius!
Durant revealed since 2017 with broker Rich Kleiman that he founded Trirty Five Ventures Ventures.
They have invested in more than 70 projects, most of which are between $250,000 and $1 million.
They have invested in the financial industry, as well as takeaway platforms for life and consumption, shared trains, wearable devices, and virtual VR companies.
Durant also holds a small stake in Major League Soccer's Philadelphia United Football Club.
Durant and business partner Rich Kleiman previously invested in a digital currency trading platform called Coinbase, which was worth $1.6 billion at the time.
Now that the company has been listed at a valuation of $100 billion, Xiao Shuai has also obtained a return of 61.5 times from this investment!
Previously, Jordan Xiaoshuai and others all invested in the company Dapper Labs, when the company's market value of $2.6 billion, the latest valuation reached 7.6 billion, 3 times in 5 months.
Dapper Labs as a mature blockchain company, which also includes many NBA players.
Dinwiddie is also involved in this business, and Dinwiddie, as a player whose commercial value cannot be compared with James, Durant and Curry, has a not low status in business!
In 2018, his 3-year, $36 million contract he asked to pay in the form of bitcoin, and how much bitcoin has increased in the past few years, naturally needless to say.
Some time ago, Curry also asked blockchain questions on social media, and Dinwiddie also responded with interest to come to me at any time.
Many NBA stars, including Wall, who do not have low incomes, have expressed great interest in this regard. As a big man in the currency circle, Dinwiddie should have a very considerable income off the market through personal connections.
