And one of my stocks was up 20 cents today, so I guess you could say both Bron and I running our own empires...

Lol, I highly doubt Lebron has ever even watched NASCAR.

None of us actually know. Unless he allows a deep audit of his finances, which he won’t. And of course shouldn’t.

But if he’s had a “billion” in revenue/earnings, that’s still impressive regardless.

Although one could argue an athlete like LeBron is more “gifted” with their earning potential than an entrepreneur who creates a business out of nothing but their own ingenuity.

For example, I don’t actually take Alex Rodriguez seriously as a guest on Shark Tank. Since we all know his wealth came from playing baseball, not being an entrepreneur, same with a LeBron.

I hope he puts the money to good use though

But Jordan has a NASCAR team. I guess I gotta re-evaluate my Lebron GOAT stance. Shame really.

The most remarkable thing about Lebron, and there are a lot of remarkable things, is how normal he turned out. And I mean that as a compliment.

Almost no one is surprised when a child star turns out to be a trainwreck as an adult. Childstars are put under enormous pressure. They're also spoiled and catered to with little time for a normal education or childhood.

Since being a teenager this guy has been pegged as a prodigy. He lived up to the hype. And besides excelling at his chosen craft he's had a succesful life, professionally and personally, outside of his basketball career.

That’s really great for him and his entire family.

He did a private snorkeling tour on the big island and he was really kind to a friend of mine and I think she was telling the truth. Haha

There’s so much about LeBron I appreciate (his skill and his athletic prowless) and stuff I don’t like (flopping, certain personality traits, Rich Paul bff). But overall he has handled his career very well. He seems like a good family man. And he has made wise investments. The best top tier celebs are usually great. It’s the next few tiers down that have those crazy giant egos. LeBron for all his faults seems a bit smarter with money and in general than Durant and Irving

Bron is the guy Malcolm X warned you about.

Lebron is the man. On and off the court.

This. And if you consider where he came from and tough his life was growing up the fact that he is “normal” is even more impressive. I bow down
