Rare Air: LeBron James Joins Michael Jordan As The NBA’s Only Billionaires
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Kevin Winter / Getty Lebron James will now be called Billionaire Bron from now on. The financial bible Forbes reports that LeBron James is now a billionaire. The achievement makes James the first active NBA player to accomplish the milestone while still actively playing. He also joins his idol Michael Jordan as one of the NBA’s billionaires.

According to Forbes, the Los Angeles Lakers All-Star and future first-ballot Hall-of-Famer reached billionaire status after he “maximized his business” by generating more than $1.2 billion in ...
