“Cheap” LeBron James Didn’t Mind Splashing $10,000,000 to Secure Savannah’s Love for Life in 2013

LeBron James has been the face of the league for nearly two decades now. With a $1 billion net worth, King James has a lot he can splurge on, but he is just as smart with money as he is with the ball on the court. Even though he is one of the wealthiest and highest-paid athletes in the NBA, The Chosen One is wise about how and where he spends his money, which has also earned him the label “Cheap.”

However, James has his priorities straight, as he did not hesitate to spend a whopping $10,000,000 ten years ago today to secure the love of his life, Savannah James.

LeBron James and Savannah Brinson’s $10 million wedding

LeBron James and Savannah Brinson have a very heartwarming love story that began when LeBron saw Savannah at a local football game in high school. After navigating tough times together, James decided to finally pop the question. He proposed to her on New Year’s Eve 2012 with a dazzling $300K pear-shaped diamond ring. They tied the knot shortly after on September 14, 2013, in a grand wedding ceremony in San Diego.

James had promised Savannah the wedding of her dreams, and he delivered. Around 200 guests attended the eventful three-day reception at the Grand Del Mar Hotel. The star-studded event saw iconic performances from artists like Beyoncé and Jay-Z who serenaded Crazy in Love for the newlyweds.

The Kid from Akron is never shy while spending when it comes to his wife. He always goes the extra mile for her, whether it is gifting her an all-white Ferrari Testarossa or serenading her with a private Daniel Caesar performance. In an interview with Cleveland Magazine, Savannah said, “He is truly a king to his queen, if you will.”

LeBron James can also be cheap at times

Despite his lavish gifts to his wife, the King still has a reputation for being ‘Cheap’ and rightfully so. James called himself out for being cheap in a tweet when he admitted that he would not be paying $8 for Twitter Blue, a checkmark that verifies the legitimacy of Twitter accounts.

The 4-time NBA Champion has earned $431,859,107 in his NBA career and his net worth sits at $1 billion, including income from endorsements and other business ventures. Despite that, he is still notorious for being tight with money. NBA reporter Taylor Rooks also confirmed that James never pays for data roaming and is adamant about not bearing the extra cost. Lakers studio host Allie Clifton added that he would sit through commercials on Pandora radio rather than pay for an ad-free plan that starts at $4.99 per month.
