After signing a 2-year contract extension worth $97.1 million last year. LeBron James has officially become the highest-paid NBA player ever.
LeBron James’ net worth might go as high as $1 billion. It’s no surprise that the Los Angeles Lakers player spent $103.9 million on a collection of luxury villas to better the lives of his wife Savannah James and their three children. Let’s take a look at some information about these expensive villas.
LeBron James’ Beverly Hills mansion
LeBron’s most recent home purchase, also the most valuable, was in 2020, when he paid $36.8 million for a massive, 13,000-square-foot Beverly Hills property consisting of at least four structures. The home was formerly owned by Katharine Hepburn, but LeBron purchased it from its most recent owners, Bill and Lee Phillip Bell, co-creators of the soap operas The Bold and the Beautiful and The Young and the Restless.
The 1930s Mediterranean-style home with stunning vistas of Los Angeles and 2.5 acres of land. It also has a large motor court for his several cars, four bedrooms, eight bathrooms, high ceilings, a screening room, seven fireplaces, and complete walls of glass sliders for maximum indoor-outdoor flow. Outside, there is a lighted tennis court, two detached guest homes, a large swimming pool, and a pool house with two bathrooms.
LeBron James’ Brentwood Mansion
LeBron owns two properties in the Los Angeles area of Brentwood. One he purchased in 2017 for $24.5 million looks to be his primary property and is often featured on his Instagram. The mansion was built that same year and has a modern aesthetic with marble finishes in almost every room.
It measures slightly under 16,000 square feet and contains eight bedrooms and eleven bathrooms. This property, like his Beverly Hills home, has floor-to-ceiling windows that allow for an indoor-outdoor flow between the main living spaces and the wide garden. One of the major living spaces also features full sliding glass doors.
The house with modern architectural style
The residence includes many high-end amenities, including a wine cellar, a game room with a pool table, a home theater, a cigar room with air-purifying technology, and a fully furnished gym that is split between inside and outside.
The gym is directly connected to a spa that includes a steam room, shower, sauna, and massage area. There is even an elevator that leads you to the rooftop patio, which offers amazing views.
LeBron James’ second Brentwood home
In 2015, LeBron purchased a 9,440-square-foot colonial estate for $21 million in the Brentwood region. The stone and white brick mansion has six bedrooms and seven bathrooms but has reportedly sat empty for most of the time.
Inside, there is a double-height entryway, a window-lined breakfast nook, a modern kitchen, a wood-paneled office, and a home gym.
The master suite features a two-way fireplace, a private sitting room, and a terrace. Outside, there is another magnificent swimming pool, an open-air cabana, a three-car garage, and a basketball court.LeBron sold the mansion for $19.6 million in 2021, an original asking price of $20.5 million.

He paid $2.1 million for a Bath Township property just northwest of Akron, and over the years has erected a 30,000-square-foot residence on the seven-acre land.The vast property contains six bedrooms, with the master suite featuring a two-story walk-in closet, eight baths, and six half bathrooms. A two-lane bowling alley, a home theater, and a sports bar are available for entertainment; there is also a recording studio, an aquarium, and a barbershop.

After leaving the Cavaliers for the Miami Heat in 2010, LeBron spent $9 million on a custom-built three-story mansion in Coconut Grove, Florida.
