Overview

• On 360 With Speedy, host Speedy Morman cited a Google result of about $1.2 billion, and James replied it was "way less," quipping he had only "a couple thousand" in the bank.
• James continued the bit by saying everything he wore was free and that his children now "take care of dad" through NIL deals and streaming income.
• Coverage contextualized the remarks with Forbes’ billionaire-range estimates, which rest on his NBA earnings, major endorsements, and equity stakes such as SpringHill, rather than cash on hand.
• James did not disclose his actual net worth during the appearance, and no formal revision to the public estimates followed.
• He also said his playing career is nearing its end as he prepares for his 23rd NBA season with the Lakers, who open on Oct. 21.
