LeBron James attained billionaire status early this year. He earned this milestone through investments, endorsement deals, philanthropy work, and of course, his staggering basketball contracts. Having said that, King James’ wife, Savannah James, has been at the forefront of all the philanthropy work for the James family.
Individually, Savannah James is a millionaire with a net worth of 50 million dollars. Over the years, she has built her identity to be more than just LeBron’s wife—shaping herself into an influential personality with the power to inspire the masses.

This is something Savannah has done consciously. Early on, she realized the influence she and her name has on the workings of the world. Being aware of this pushed her towards not just helping people through materialistic avenues, but also guiding them personally to grow and make a mark in society.
Savannah and LeBron James like to give back to the community
The act of helping people and giving back to society was imbibed in Savannah at a very young age. Her parents would aid youngsters by giving them a place to stay and feel safe. In an interview, she had said, “If they had something going on at home, or they just needed a safe haven, my mom and dad always opened up their doors,”
So when she had the opportunity and resources, she didn’t hold back. She and LeBron started the ‘LeBron James Family Foundation’ and the ‘I Promise’ program. The foundation started by helping the community of Akron, Ohio but now has programs all across the country.

The ‘I Promise’ program focuses on giving students the resources they need to secure a good education. Savannah is the pioneer of these initiatives.
In association with the ‘I Promise’ program, she started the iPROMise Makeover, that aided girls with financial barriers, and helped them get ready for prom.

But Savannah’s personal brainchild is the Women of our Future mentorship program. During the launch, she said, “I know the struggles and pressures a lot of these young women are facing during these tough high school years, and I want them to know they are supported every step of the way.”
Savannah James the entrepreneur
Apart from her philanthropic work, Savannah James is also an entrepreneur. In association with the furniture retailer, American Signature, she started a furniture line named ‘Home Court’.

She also started a juice bar in Miami, called ‘The Juice Spot’. However, she eventually closed the place down once LeBron started playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers. She is also the co-founder of K+ Organics which is a sports drink line for children in particular.
Savannah has clearly made optimal use of her platform and influence. While trying to keep her life private, she has built her empire and helped LeBron James with his billionaire status. The couple continues to make a difference in society. It is going to be exciting to see what’s ahead for them.
