Now a pro basketball player for nearly two decades, Lebron James has become one of the greatest basketball players of all time. A role model for fans and aspiring athletes alike, James has not only played for the likes of the Los Angeles Lakers, but also earned two Olympic gold medals. Off the court, he’s known for his years of philanthropic work in his hometown of Akron, Ohio. Along the way, his skills and goodwill have also made James one of the wealthiest athletes in the world, with a whopping net worth of $500 million.

Of course, with a current salary of roughly $40 million, expect James’ millions only to keep increasing over time. Meanwhile, it certainly does not hurt that the basketball legend also makes over $55 million from endorsements every year.
