LeBron James | $850 million

If you believe Richard Jefferson, that LeBron James and Stephen Curry are not the best basketball players in the world, then you are mistaken. Because the records will speak for themselves, we can only take note of Jefferson’s claim while taking it with a grain of salt. LeBron did not become a great player on his own. He actually credits two football coaches for changing his life when he was younger, which is why he became successful later in life – not in football, but in basketball.

This adherent of the “Work Hard, Sleep Hard” philosophy is now worth $850 million. One of the reasons he is wealthy is because he takes care of his health. There is always some cardiovascular exercise involved, which keeps him in shape. Of course, he wouldn’t be able to shoot those balls if he wasn’t healthy and in good shape. It’s not surprising, then, that the majority of his money comes from business deals rather than his NBA salary.
