There are a lot of great things that LeBron James has done in his long and successful career in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
As you can see, LeBron James is used to living the high life as a star. He has won three NBA titles and has marketing deals worth a total of $480 million. He just bought a private jet called a G280 Gulfstream, which is thought to be worth about $22 million. He has won the NBA Most Valuable Player award four times.
A lot of people know that LeBron James is always there for his family. He often takes his plane to spend valuable time with them. This was very clear when he rented a G280 to go to the high school basketball game of his son, LeBron James Jr. To teach his kids to be humble and thankful for their good fortune, LeBron James has even stopped his kids from getting on his private jet.
LeBron James made the most of his private jet in 2010 by taking it to visit his family and go on vacation. He only used it once more, to go to the wedding of his good friend Carmelo Anthony. Adidas offered to rent a private plane for LeBron James and his friends to see a Lakers game from the court when he was just starting in the NBA.
James was supposed to sign a marketing deal with Adidas. When another company offered LeBron James this bonus along with a $100 million deal, he turned it down and decided to sign with Nike instead. Even though Sonny Vaccaro, CEO of Adidas, worked very hard to get LeBron James to promote his products, the celebrity wasn’t convinced by what was offered.
