Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has set another record by becoming the first active NBA player to reach billionaire status

According to Forbes, James has earned approximately $380million in earnings for the three teams he represented in his 19 seasons in the premier basketball competition, and over $900m from endorsements and other business ventures.

These include endorsement deals with Nike, AT&T, PepsiCo, and Walmart, as well as investments in Tonal, Lyft and Blaze Pizza.

Last year James earned a whopping $121.2 million, making him the second highest-paid athlete in the world behind only footballer Leo Messi.

The 37-year-old also holds a minority stake in English Premier League side Liverpool, when he went into partnership with Fenway Sports Group in 2011, before becoming a part owner in the organisation.

James also invested in movie studio SpringHill Entertainment, which helped to produce a film he starred in – Space Jam: A New Legacy.

The only other NBA player to pass the billion-dollar milestone is Michael Jordan, however, Jordan didn’t reach the ten-figure mark until a decade after retirement.

Trump claims Iran’s military largely neutralized; tensions rise with attacks threatening air travel and oil shipping.

President Trump says Iran’s military capability has been largely neutralised, including its navy and air force, as the conflict in the Middle East intensifies. Iranian attacks have threatened commercial air travel and oil shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, raising fears of wider economic fallout.

The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh has faced two attacks, while Gulf states worked to intercept further Iranian strikes. Officials report six U.S. troops killed and more than 700 deaths inside Iran as the exchange of fire escalates.

With global markets watching closely, the region remains on edge as military and diplomatic tensions show no signs of easing.
