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.
