Billionaire LeBron James Once Splashed Over $78,000 on a Single Outfit With One Surprising Thing Being More Than $40,000

NBA superstar LeBron James is one of the wealthiest athletes in the world. In fact, he recently crossed the converted billionaire mark whilst still in his playing career. So it is no surprise that The King owns some ridiculously expensive things. And one of them is an iconic outfit that cost an excess of $78,000, with a single accessory being priced at over $40,000.

Back in the 2018 playoffs, LeBron was on a mission. He was tasked with taking a lowly Cleveland Cavaliers team to the promised land. And as part of that, he put some spectacular performances on the court. He single-handedly willed the Cavs and took them to the NBA Finals.

Off the court at that time, he was wearing an outfit that was common in most games. It was an iconic black suit, and he even made the entire team wear the same outfit. But during the Finals, LeBron took it up a notch.

The King is set to become the highest-paid player ever

LeBron became the highest-earning player in 2019, but a few players were set to overtake him in the future. But LeBron doesn’t play checkers, he plays chess. In the current offseason, LeBron extended his stay at the Lakers, and that too for a whopping $97.1 Million for two years. He also has a player option in the last year of the contract.
