LeBron James isn’t just rewriting the NBA record books — he’s also building a real estate portfolio that’s just as jaw-dropping.
At 40 years old, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar continues to make history on the court, recently becoming the first 40-year-old to record at least 20 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists in a playoff game. And with a career total surpassing 50,000 points, King James is showing no signs of slowing down.
But while his basketball achievements are legendary, LeBron’s $110 million property empire across the U.S. is a whole different kind of flex.

Homegrown Beginnings: The Akron Mansion
LeBron’s real estate journey started at just 18 years old, when he bought a property in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, for $3.3 million.
He didn’t just move in — he leveled the existing structure and built a jaw-dropping 30,000-square-foot mansion estimated to be worth over $10 million today.

Miami Heat and Million-Dollar Moves
In 2010, after famously “taking his talents to South Beach,” LeBron snagged a waterfront Coconut Grove mansion for $14 million — a steal compared to its $18.7 million list price.
The six-bedroom palace featured 1,485 sqm of luxury living space and stunning bay views.
After four seasons and two NBA titles with the Heat, LeBron sold the property in 2015 for $21.1 million — pocketing a healthy profit.
Today, the mansion continues to change hands, recently relisted for a staggering $34 million.

West Coast Domination: Brentwood and Beverly Hills
LeBron’s Hollywood dreams began in 2015 when he bought a $33 million mansion in Brentwood, Los Angeles, signaling his future move to the Lakers.
In 2017, he doubled down, picking up another Brentwood beauty for $36 million — complete with eight bedrooms, marble floors, and sleek glass walls to soak up the California sun.
But the real crown jewel of his portfolio?
A Beverly Hills estate he snapped up in 2020 for $53 million.
The compound — once owned by the creator of The Young and the Restless — boasts:
-
Two detached guesthouses
-
A private movie screening room
-
Panoramic views of Los Angeles
Today, this stunning estate serves as the primary residence for LeBron, his wife Savannah, and their three children, Bronny, Bryce, and Zhuri.
After settling into Beverly Hills, LeBron sold his original Brentwood property for $27.9 million in 2021 — slightly less than what he had paid but still part of his carefully curated empire.

Final Whistle
With a $1.89 billion fortune and an ever-growing list of achievements, LeBron James proves that his dominance stretches far beyond the basketball court.
From Akron to Beverly Hills, his $110 million real estate collection cements his status as a legend in more ways than one.
