LeBron James has racked up a sparkling on-court resume since he entered the NBA in 2003 at 18 years old as “The Chosen One.” Highlights include being the league’s all-time leading scorer, 10 NBA finals trips, four NBA titles and All-NBA first team 13 times. Somehow, his off-the-court game might be even more staggering. James’ career earnings from salaries and endorsements will hit an estimated $1.4 billion by the end of this season, behind only Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods and Cristiano Ronaldo among athletes all time. He’s built a deep roster of equity positions in companies and started a school in his hometown of Akron, Ohio. James should earn roughly $128 million this season, 25% more than any other NBA player Source: Kurt Badenhausen @ Sportico
