<h2>Bronny James Net Worth 2023</h2>
Bronny James sits at an estimated $6.1 million valuation according to ON3 NIL. As of 2023, Bronny boasts a net worth of $10.5 million. He has amassed this fortune through basketball, sponsorships and endorsements.

Currently a freshman at the University of Southern California (USC), Bronny is expected to be a first-round pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Interestingly, though widely popular for his basketball skills and incredible defensive abilities as a tenacious guard, Bronny is an avid gamer.
<h2>Bronny James' early life </h2>
Bronny James was born on October 6, 2004, in Cleveland, Ohio. Growing up, the budding star explored various sports, including basketball, soccer, football and ice hockey. However, for safety concerns, his father advised him against playing football and ice hockey. In 2014, he began to truly shine in basketball, gaining wide recognition for his skills in high school. James attended Old Trail School in Bath Township, Summit County, Ohio, where he capped off his high school years with a championship win in the Independent School League.

On May 29, 2019, Bronny James embarked on a new chapter by enrolling at Sierra Canyon School, a prestigious K–12 institution in Chatsworth, Los Angeles. This marked the beginning of his freshman year in high school. There, he was joined by Zaire Wade, the son of father and NBA superstar LeBron James' longtime friend, Dwyane Wade.

After spending a significant four years at Sierra Canyon High School. Bronny James made an important decision for his college basketball career. Among his finalists, which included Ohio State and Oregon, he ultimately chose to commit to the University of Southern California (USC). This choice meant that James would remain close to home, in the same city as his father. At USC, he is pursuing a Business Administration major.
<h2>Bronny James' family and personal life</h2>
Bronny James is the eldest son of 4x NBA Champion <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lebron-james/">LeBron James</a> and Savannah James. His younger brother Bryce James is a high school athlete who plays for Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, California. His younger sister Zhuri James is 9 years old and is a fashion enthusiast. 

Bronny is reportedly dating Peyton Gelfuso. He went to prom with her and shared a snap on social media giving steam to dating rumors. However, nothing is certain yet.

Bronny suffered a cardiac arrest during a practice session on July 24 this year. The 18-year-old incoming freshman was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and was released three days later.
<h2>Bronny James' career timeline</h2>
In 2018, Bronny attended Old Trail School in Bath Township, Summit County, Ohio, and concluded his high school years with a championship win in the Independent School League. In April 2019, He debuted with Strive for Greatness in the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL). 

On May 29, 2019, Bronny James started a new chapter by enrolling at Sierra Canyon School, a prestigious K–12 institution located in Chatsworth, Los Angeles. This marks the beginning of his freshman year in high school. In May 2023, Bronny made the decision to commit to the University of Southern California (USC).
<h2>Bronny James' career stats</h2>
Over four years at Sierra Canyon, Bronny James showcased his skills as a tenacious guard with a strong defensive presence. During his freshman year, he logged minutes in all 34 games, contributing 4.1 points per game. Unfortunately, a knee injury sidelined him for a significant part of his sophomore season. However, his junior year saw a resurgent Bronny leading Sierra Canyon to the regional finals, averaging 8.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.9 steals per game.

In his senior year, he further elevated his game, recording impressive statistics of 14.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.8 steals per game. These stellar performances earned him a spot in the prestigious McDonald’s All-American Game, a notable achievement despite Sierra Canyon's underwhelming 23–10 record.

Bronny is now poised to make his mark at the collegiate level with USC. The 18-year-old star is also expected to declare for the NBA in the 2024 draft class.
<h2>Bronny James' partnerships and endorsements</h2>
On October 10, 2022, Bronny signed a NIL endorsement deal with Nike, making him one of the five amateur basketball players to do so. The Nike sponsorship for Bronny James doesn't come as a surprise, considering his father, LeBron James, has been a Nike athlete all his professional career. With LeBron signing a lifetime $1 billion contract with Nike in 2015, it's only fitting for Bronny to extend his basketball journey in his father's footsteps. Thanks to the new NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) regulations, Bronny secured endorsement deals before deciding which college to attend.

One month after the Bronny James Nike deal, he signed a NIL deal with popular headphone brand Beats by Dre. Moreover, Beats made the announcement on social media with a video advertisement campaign called, 'The Chosen One vs. The Chosen Son' - a face-off between LeBron James and his son Bronny James. 

His other featured commercials include Mountain Dew and a video commercial for the 2023-released Fast and Furious franchise film, Fast X.
<h2>Bronny James' major achievements and awards</h2>

<h2>Bronny James' tattoo</h2>
While LeBron James has tattoos all over his body, Bronny got his first tattoo in 2022. The only clearly visible Bronny James tattoo is behind his left ear, which has the number 999 inked. Additionally, an unknown one is sported on each wrist. Neither Bronny nor the tattoo artist shared the pictures of the design. It remains unknown what Bronny got inked on his wrists.

Who is LeBron James? LeBron James is widely considered to be one of the greatest to ever play the game of basketball. Born in Akron, James spent the majority of his professional career with the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Los Angeles Lakers, winning multiple NBA championships and earning numerous accolades along the way. Dec 7, 2023; Las Vegas, Nevada, USA; Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (23) reacts during the second quarter against the New Orleans Pelicans in the NBA In Season Tournament Semifinal at T-Mobile Arena. Mandatory Credit: Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports &nbsp; Known for his exceptional all-around game, James is a four-time MVP and has been selected to the All-Star team a record 18 times. LeBron James&#8217; early life LeBron James was born on December 30, 1984, in Akron, Ohio. James started playing basketball at a young age, showing great potential. He soon became one of the best high school basketball players in the country. James graduated from St. Vincent&#8217;s St. Mary High School and declared for the NBA draft in 2003. James led St. Vincent&#8217;s St. Mary to three state championships in four years. With Keith Dambrot and Dru Joyce II coaching the side for two years each, the Fighting Irish had a record of 101 victories and 6 losses during James&#8217; time. LeBron James&#8217; wife and children LeBron James was raised by his mother Gloria James, who struggled to make ends meet as a single mother. Not much is known about James&#8217; biological father Anthony McClelland, who was largely absent from LeBron&#8217;s life during his childhood. He is also reported to have criminal records to his name. James has been in a relationship with his high school sweetheart Savannah since his teenage years. The couple tied the knot on September 14, 2013. Savannah James has indulged in several business ventures over the years and is also a noted philanthropist. She has also established a mentorship program for young women. LeBron and Savannah have three children together: Bronny, Bryce, and Zhuri James. Both Bronny and Bryce are following in their father&#8217;s footsteps to become basketball stars. In December 2023, Bronny made his long-awaited collegiate debut with the USC Trojans, less than five months after suffering cardiac arrest in July.

As per reports, James has earned around $387 million in salaries in his 20-year NBA career so far. Furthermore, he has also made a fortune with his endorsement deals and investments, which have helped him build his massive business empire. LeBron James&#8217; NBA career timeline TheÂ Cleveland Cavaliers selected hometown boy LeBron James as the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft. James was a superstar straight out of high school and took the league by storm. He played for the Cavaliers from 2003 to 2010 in his first stint and won MVP awards in 2009 and 2010. Even though the Akron Hammer was almost unstoppable on the court and won many individual accolades, team success was hard to come by.

He received major backlash from Cavs fans after this move. However, he continued his dominance, alongside superstars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh for the Heat, and clinched his first NBA title in 2012, followed by another in 2013. He also won the NBA MVP award and the Finals MVP award in 2012 and 2013. The estranged son then returned to the Cavaliers in 2014 and took the team to four straight NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors. He helped the Cavs win their first-ever NBA title in 2016. James once again left the Cavs, this time to join the Los Angeles Lakers, in 2018 and led them to the 2020 NBA title.Â  Following the retirements of Udonis Haslem and Andre Iguodala, LeBron James is currently the oldest player in the league.

LeBron James&#8217; rings Over his illustrious 20-year career (and counting), James has won four NBA championships. He has led three different franchises &#8211; the Miami Heat, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Los Angeles Lakers &#8211; to NBA titles. James&#8217; first title came in 2012 with the Heat, when he won his first Finals MVP award, followed by a second consecutive title in 2013. After returning to Cleveland in 2014, James delivered on his promise to bring the city its first major sports championship in over 50 years. In 2016, James powered the Cavaliers back from a daunting 3-1 deficit against the record-setting Golden State Warriors in the Finals. James won his 4th championship and NBA Finals MVP award in 2020, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a championship against his former side, the Miami Heat. LeBron James&#8217; shoe deals LeBron James signed a huge deal with Nike even before he entered the NBA. As James&#8217; superstardom rose, he became one of the most important faces of the brand, with his line of signature shoes, which is in its 20th version now. The four-time NBA MVP signed a lifetime deal with Nike in 2015 for an undisclosed fee. LeBron James&#8217; house LeBron James has reiterated multiple times that he does not spend his hard-earned money without reason. Former teammate Dwyane Wade once revealed that James is one of the cheapest players in the league despite being one of the richest. However, James knows how to spend his fortune in style. And when it comes to where he lives, the King does not compromise. According to reports, LeBron owns multiple properties in California, Ohio, and Miami, that are worth a combined estimated value of $100 million. LeBron James&#8217; car collection LeBron James is known for having an extensive collection of cars, estimated to be worth over $2 million. Some of the standouts include a Chevy Camaro SS, a 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder, and the Dodge Challenger SRT 392. He also owns a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster, a 720-horsepower V12 supercar. Another notable element of his collection is a Mercedes luxury sedan, the Maybach S650, worth around $200,000. Notably, after teaming up with Shaquille O&#8217;Neal in Cleveland, Shaq gifted LeBron a Rolls Royce Phantom for his 25th birthday. The luxury car goes from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds and is valued at around $505,000. LeBron James&#8217; controversial moments LeBron James has not had any major controversies so far. However, there have been a few questionable moments in his career. James was the centerpiece of controversy during his high school career for accepting gifts. Then his infamous move to the Miami Heat in 2010, announced on national television, stirred up a lot of controversy. James, who is very vocal about his political beliefs, was criticized for his association with Nike because of the brand&#8217;s political stance. Also, his comments on America after Brittney Griner&#8217;s detainment in Russia sparked some controversy. Will LeBron James retire? LeBron James, 39, is currently playing his 21st NBA season in the NBA. The future Hall of Famer is still playing at the highest level, but he is definitely at the tail end of his career. However, the Lakers icon will not retire after the 2023-24 season as he has multiple times opened up about his desire to play alongside his son Bronny James in the league. Bronny will be eligible to declare for the NBA draft next year. So there is a high chance that James may continue playing in the league until his son enters the NBA.
