Four-time MVP winner owns two-property on the Westside. One of which is in Brentwood, a 9,440 square foot property worth $21 million and a new-build mansion in the same area with a price tag of $23 million, which he purchased in 2017.

Not entirely sure how it got this far, but this house sold to an international buyer in January for $42 million. It’s not LeBron’s. @CBSLA https://t.co/tgiaXKtfF3 https://t.co/qKjpl5kRBm

Anyone who is interested to live in a mansion as LeBron has can buy his Miami’s Waterfront mansion. For that one has to pay a huge amount of $13.95 million.
