LeBron James is one of the most synonymous names associated with the sport of basketball, but what link does the NBA legend have with Liverpool Football Club?
LeBron James is widely regarded as one of the best players to ever step on a basketball court. While on the court, LeBron is a four-time NBA champion, a four-time MVP, and a multiple time All-Star selection who is known for his incredible determination, longevity, and ability that has seen him at the top of the game for two decades – he is known for his entrepreneurship off it.
LeBron is the only active billionaire in the history of the NBA, and he owes a lot of his net worth to his entrepreneurship ventures. James is worth a whopping $1.2 billion and his yearly NBA salary is estimated to be around $ 44 million – ranking him at #5 on the Forbes’ List of Highest-paid Athletes for 2020 because of a huge number of endorsements and his own ventures.
While Dre knows for several endorsements such as Mcdonald’s, Nike, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, and Beats LeBron, he is also known for several investments. While the 37-year-old invested heavily into Blaze Pizza in 2012 and now owns many franchises of the same and holds an equity stake worth $ 40 million, he also has a link with English football club Liverpool.
For those with no idea, LeBron has a minority stake in the ownership of Liverpool Football Club in England.
Having bought a 2% stake in 2011, the NBA superstar joined the owners of Fenway Sports Group – the owners of Liverpool – as a partner in 2021 which also made him part-owner of the Boston Red Sox, New England Sports Network, and Roush Fenway Racing. The King even visited the home stadium of Liverpool Anfield, Liverpool back in 2016.
LeBron has previously tweeted about Liverpool as well, claiming to be a huge fan of the 19-time English champions and the six-time champions of Europe – and even saying that he saw captain Jordan Henderson score his first goal live (although he might just be lying on that one).
