LeBron James discussed money in a recent interview and revealed why his millions are safe in his accountant’s hands.
He threatened them.
“I have a lot of more risky friends, and friends that are less risky,” LeBron said. “But for me, like, when I’m talking to my business partners and s–t like that, financial advisors, you know, accountants, all that type of s–t,” he said on the Everybody’s Crazy podcast.
He continued, “My financial advisor, the first thing I told him when he wanted to manage my money was if you steal my money, bro, or if I’m broke, bro, I’m letting you know, bro, it ain’t going to be good for you.”
Several celebrities over the years have seen their money disappear thanks to shady accountants and financial advisers.
Recently, Jamaican world champion sprinter, Usain Bolt, lost $12.7 million from an investment account due to a fraud case in early 2023 involving the firm Stocks and Securities Limited (SSL) in Jamaica. He was left with just $12,000.
James’ net worth is currently $1.2 billion according to Forbes.
