Renowned as one of the greatest basketball players in history, LeBron James came second in the MVP race last year, marking his 17th season in the league.

At 36 years old, James has been notably active in the real estate arena since his Miami property sale. He invested in two residences in the Brentwood area, making purchases at $21M and $23M respectively. Notably, he also acquired a Mediterranean-style compound in the Beverly Hills Post Office vicinity for a substantial $36.75M last year.
