The NBA great LeBron James has accumulated enormous wealth over the course of his illustrious career. Apart from his significant basketball earnings, he engaged in various entrepreneurial ventures contributing to his fortune. The ventures are making them noteworthy compared to his other endeavors. James’s association with soccer is not new, and he has even invested in the English Premier League soccer club, Liverpool FC.
Sitting at a net worth of almost $1B, King James, the richest NBA player in the league, hardly brags about his wealth. But he is a shrewd entrepreneur. And when he was in attendance for the Soccer great Lionel Messi‘s MLS debut. His expensive accessory caught everyone’s attention.

Lionel Messi’s debut with Inter Miami has left a lasting impression. It’s once again proving he’s still the most coveted soccer player in the world, despite nearing the end of his career. Before the historic debut, the 4x Champions League winner had a memorable encounter with the legendary LeBron James. The two greats shared a handshake and warm embrace, showcasing their mutual admiration.
For Messi’s incredible debut, James sported the elegant Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 40 watch in 18 ct Everose gold by Rolex. The timepiece featured a stunning olive-green dial, a fluted bezel, and a President bracelet, adding a touch of luxury to James’ appearance at the event.

The rich history of the iconic Rolex fluted bezel and its status as a symbol of elegance and distinction are widely recognized. Initially designed for functional uses, it aids in securing the Oyster bezel to the case. This, in turn, contributes to the watch’s waterproof quality.
James, however, is a very calculative investor. According to him, he doesn’t even pay for apps on his phone. He’d rather let them throw endless advertisements, but he doesn’t purchase the subscriptions. While the soccer legend overshadowed James’ greatest achievement in sports, his expensive style statement must have been for a reason.
