Located in the residence of the rich Americans, this lavish mansion was once the residence of many famous stars.
In his 20th season and at the age of 38, LeBron James is one of the highest-paid athletes in the league. In addition to making money through basketball, he also makes personal investments and signs many cooperation contracts. As the first NBA player to reach a net worth of $ 1 billion, it is not difficult for “King James” to pursue a lifestyle like a king.
He lives in one of the most luxurious and expensive areas in the country – the city of Beverly Hills (Los Angeles, California, USA). LeBron James bought this 1,200-square-foot property in September 2020 for $ 36.75 million (nearly VND 870 billion), slightly lower than the original list price of $ 39 million.

This Beverly Hills home was first built in 1934 and has had a long list of Hollywood stars calling it “home” ever since. Hollywood legend Charles Boyer was the first to own this property, which was later bought by businessman Howard Hughes and rented to actress Katharine Hepburn.
After Hepburn moved out, the house was owned by non-celebs for many years. In 1968, screenwriters William J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell spent 2.9 million USD (equivalent to 69 billion VND) to buy this mansion.
