Lebron James

When talking about the NBA and who the best to ever play the game is — apart from Kobe Bryant and Micheal Jordan — LeBron James, more often than not, is someone who comes up. His stardom in the professional scene started even before he stepped in the NBA. Playing as the star player of St. Mary-St. Vincent High School basketball team, he was already heavily regarded by sports media as the next NBA superstar. He earned the honor of being the first draft pick of Cleveland in 2003.

Now, it goes without saying that since an early age, LeBron was making hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it comes as no surprise that he was putting the money to good use. One of the earliest investments he’s made was in a car — a luxurious Hummer. It was fitting considering his stature and physicality, which gave him his financial success in the sports industry.
