Known as a successful businessman among NBA players,  LeBron James  has a long list of investments that have earned him tons of profit. However, in some investment activities such as land and housing, LeBron James does not seem to be a cool person.

According to new information published by the press in the US, LeBron James has sold one of his villas in the flashy Brentwood area in Los Angeles, California. It is known that the closing price for this comfortable villa is 19.6 million USD. Previously, the villa was valued at 20.5 million USD on the trading floor and had “laid dormant” for 6 months.

The villa has a total area of ​​nearly 900 square meters, fully equipped and has an outdoor swimming pool.

Previously in 2015, while still playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers, this villa was purchased by LeBron James for $21 million. After 6 years of little use and becoming a liability that consumed a lot of annual maintenance, LeBron James had to sell it at a loss of 1.4 million USD. 

In addition to the newly successfully sold villa, LeBron James also has another villa in the same Brentwood area. At the end of 2017, LeBron James spent $23.5 million to buy a villa with an area of ​​nearly 1,500 square meters, nearly double the total area of ​​the new house for sale.

Similar to other luxury villas, this villa of LeBron James also has open space to be close to the environment. From bedrooms, bathrooms to offices, almost every room has lots of airy windows, allowing natural light to penetrate inside.

Even though it has only 2 floors, this villa also has up to 5 bedrooms and 3 private spaces, so family activities can take place. In addition, a mud room and gym are also included amenities in this villa

Basically, suffering a loss of 1~2 million USD is not a big problem for LeBron James, who is assessed by business magazine Forbes as soon becoming a billionaire by the end of 2021. At the end of 2021, the total value “King James”‘s assets can be up to 1 billion USD, including 700 million USD (16.1 trillion VND) earned from business activities outside the football field.

Becoming a billionaire at the age of 36 puts LeBron James in the top 5 athletes in the world with 10-digit income, alongside Tiger Woods, Floyd Mayweather, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. At the same time, he also became the first American athlete in a team sport to become a billionaire. Former legend Michael Jordan also reached this milestone after retiring.
