LeBron James, the NBA’s all-time leading scorer and a billionaire entrepreneur, has built an impressive real estate portfolio reflecting his journey from Akron roots to Los Angeles stardom. Estimates place the current value of his holdings around $70–80 million, down from peaks over $100 million after selling properties like a second Brentwood home (for $19.6 million in 2021) and a Miami mansion. His investments blend luxury living with family-focused amenities and community giveback in his hometown.
Primary Residence: Brentwood Mansion, Los Angeles
LeBron’s main family home (shared with wife Savannah and their children) is this stunning modern estate in LA’s upscale Brentwood neighborhood, purchased in 2017 for $23–24.5 million.
- Size & Features: Nearly 16,000 square feet with 8 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, an elevator, home theater, wine cellar, cigar room, onyx bar, indoor/outdoor gym, spa (steam room, sauna, massage), oversized pool, outdoor kitchen, and rooftop terrace with city views.
- It’s designed for entertaining and family life, with high-end finishes like marble floors and reclaimed Spanish oak.
Dream Compound Under Construction: Beverly Hills
In 2020, LeBron bought a 2.5–2.7-acre estate in Beverly Hills for $36.75–37 million (previously owned by soap opera creators Lee and William Bell, with ties to Katharine Hepburn). He demolished the original 1930s Mediterranean-style home in 2023 to build a custom modern compound—now progressing rapidly with plans for two large mansions (one main residence and potentially a secondary for family like son Bronny).
- Features in Progress: Panoramic LA views, pool/spa, outdoor kitchen, solar panels, and ultra-luxury design by top architects.
- This hilltop project emphasizes privacy, family space, and cutting-edge amenities.
Hometown Roots: Akron, Ohio Mansion
LeBron’s connection to Akron remains strong. At age 18 (post-2003 draft), he bought land and built a massive compound—his first major purchase—now valued around $9–10 million.
- Size & Features: 30,000 square feet on 7 acres with 6 bedrooms, multiple baths, recording studio, two-lane bowling alley, theater, aquarium, barbershop, sports bar, and a two-story walk-in closet in the primary suite.
- He still owns it as a symbol of his origins, separate from his childhood Spring Hill apartment (recreated in his Akron museum).
Other Notes & Community Investments
- Past Sales: Sold a smaller Brentwood home ($21M buy → $19.6M sale), Miami waterfront mansion ($9M buy → higher sale), and others.
- In Akron, his foundation owns House Three Thirty (a renovated venue for community events, job training, and the LeBron James Home Court museum)—not a personal residence but a major philanthropic real estate play.
LeBron’s portfolio showcases smart, long-term investments in prime locations, prioritizing family, fitness, and legacy. As construction wraps on Beverly Hills, his LA footprint will only grow more regal.
