LeBron James new mansion: The Lakers star has gone ahead and bought a new, stunning $39 million house for himself in Beverly Hills.

The kid from Akron has come a long way from his humble beginnings and reportedly has bought a massive, 13000 sq. ft. mansion in Beverly Hills.

LeBron James seems to be extending his stay in the city of LA. “King” James is in contract to buy a mansion in Beverly Hills from the estate of a fabled soap opera creator Lee Phillip Bell. Lee is the co-creator of “The Bold and the Beautiful”. The 3-time NBA champion also owns two massive properties in Brentwood worth a combined $43 million.

LeBron James’ new mansion and its amenities

The home at 9955 Beverly Grove Dr. was last listed at a massive $39 million. The property is made on a 2.5 acre plot and has seven fireplaces, a pool house with two baths, lighted tennis court, and screening room. However several twitters users quickly pointed out the lack of a basketball court.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos had previously signed a contract to buy it for $90 million but backed out from it later. LeBron certainly seems to be establishing himself in LA. With touted projects in Hollywood, this certainly seems the biggest step in that direction.

How much does LeBron earn from his Lakers’ contract?

LeBron signed a $154 million contract with the Lakers when he joined them in the summer of 2018. Lebron is the highest earning superstar in the entire league with mammoth endorsement deals and various projects keeping his pockets dripping with cash. The superstar currently has a net worth of $450 million.

What’s next for LeBron?

James is currently back in practice with his Lakers’ teammate as they restart their season on July 30th. The Lakers are the favorites to win the NBA this year and Lebron is certainly in the mix to win the Most Valuable Player Award this season.

A fourth NBA championship will the target for James. With the Lakers looking formidable with Lebron leading the way, the King has a great chance of winning his first championship since 2016.
