Before the cardiac arrest, the son of the?Lakers legend held a staggering $7.2 million NIL value. This makes him the wealthiest young athlete with a NIL deal by a significant margin. He even surpassed the teenage gymnastics sensation Olivia Dunne by a considerable margin.

Bronny’s net worth now stands at $5.9 million. Indicating a decrease of over $266,000 from a previous valuation. This decline can be attributed to the doubts investors now have due to his recent health status. The uncertainty surrounding the young prodigy’s availability has primarily contributed to this drop. While he may no longer retain the esteemed title of being the sole athlete in the $6 million club, Bronny still leads the rankings.

However, recently upon his return to the roster, even if he is not playing, there has been a spike in his NIL value. While the increase is only for $3,000, it hiked after months of being in the slump. LeBron James is also positive about his son’s return to the court.
