King James is a man who wears many hats. He is an athlete, a family man, an activist, and a businessman. His ability as the latter is reflected by his $1 billion net worth.
One of the reasons he has amassed so much wealth is his numerous endorsements. With the likes of Nike, Sprite, Beats, State Farm Insurance, Dunkin’ Donuts, and more included in his portfolio.
In fact, LeBron James also has a high-end sponsor in Audemars Piguet. The luxurious watch company has even designed a watch in honor of the four-time NBA Champion.

Audemars Piguet has had a great relationship with LeBron for close to a decade now. So much so that the King cannot be seen going anywhere without one of their watches on his wrist.
The partnership has been so fruitful, that Audemars came out with a limited-edition LeBron James Royal Oak Offshore watch, valued at $60,000.
There are only 600 of them in the world, one of which was gifted to footballing legend, Ronaldinho. A gift he received from James himself in 2015!

A truly amazing gift for a truly amazing athlete. Safe to say that Ronaldinho was ecstatic upon receiving the watch from his good friend, The King.
