From the Court to the Bank: Athletes and Their Respective Net Worth

Few things can earn you money quite like being an NBA star, as LeBron James, with his 500 million USD net worth, could tell you. The LA Lakers star is one of the most famous and recognizable faces in American athletics; he’s even hosted Saturday Night Live.

Before you start wondering what a person could possibly do with that much money, keep in mind that, apparently, it is insanely expensive just to be LeBron James: multiple sources report that he spends anywhere from a million to a million and a half USD every year on his training, diet, medical treatments, and more.
