In an astounding financial trajectory, LeBron James, having celebrated the milestone of $1 billion just a few years ago, is now edging closer to the $2 billion mark, marking another monumental achievement in his career.

According to a report by Kurt Badenhausen of Sportico, James’ off-court ventures are equally impressive. With career earnings projected to reach approximately $1.4 billion by the end of this season, the Lakers superstar stands in the esteemed company of Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and Cristiano Ronaldo, ranking among the top-earning athletes of all time.

Anticipated to earn around $128 million in the current season, James leads the NBA with a substantial 25% more earnings than any other player.
