LeBron James has topped the NBA‘s rich list for a ninth successive year, with the LA Lakers superstar collecting $117.6million on and off the court in 2023.
LeBron, who has reigned supreme as basketball’s richest player ever since Kobe Bryant edged him out for a second time in 2014, recorded $47.6m in on-court earnings this year, according to Forbes’ annual list of the highest-paid NBA players.
That latest figure means the 38-year-old has now raked in $432m on the court across two decades in the NBA, more than any other player in history.
According to Spotrac, James will surpass the $530m mark should he pick up his option for next season and see out his current Lakers contract until 2025.
Off the court, he continues to generate millions through the SpringHill Company – the TV and movie production company of which he remains the largest shareholder – and marketing campaigns with the likes of Taco Bell and more.
