The group has come to a consensus about buying a majority stake in the NFL team, and the purchase will be going down for $900 million.

In fact, LeBron had much to say about his position in the Group, along with his business partner. “For me and for my partner Maverick to be the first two Black men to be a part of that ownership group in the history of that franchise — I think it’s pretty damn cool,” he stated, “It gives me and people that look like me hope and inspiration that they can be in a position like that as well.”

It looks like FSG is quite happy with the people running the office of this NHL team at the moment. The owners Mario Lemieux and Ron Burke are expected to continue, along with head coach Mike Sullivan and general manager Ron Hextall.
Apart from the $1 billion that LBJ earns on the court, his work off it contributes a lot to his earnings. Apart from these, he also has a production company called SpringHill Entertainment. This company is responsible for the production of the ‘Space Jam’ sequel, that Bron starred in himself.
From Blaze Pizza, Tonal, Ladder, to Status Pro, these are the several other companies that Bron has invested in. There is no doubt that he will continue to expand on this for years to come.
