LeBron James’ net worth in 2025: New scoring records, unparalleled wealth
As one of the NBA’s all-time greatest players, James’ talents—along with his business ventures and endorsement deals—place his fortune in a league of its own. Here's what he's worth in 2025.
50,000 is a lot of anything, but when you consider that’s the number of points LeBron James has scored in his NBA career — well, then it becomes mind-boggling.
As one of basketball’s all-time greatest players, James’ achievement represents an NBA milestone. Only two other players have scored more than 40,000 points in regular season and playoff games: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (44,149) and Karl Malone (41,689).
James swooshed past Abdul-Jabbar’s record on February 7, 2023, but reaching the next round number, 50,000, which James hit as the Los Angeles Lakers took on the New Orleans Pelicans on March 4, 2025, is an achievement that likely won’t be matched anytime soon — if ever.
Dubbed “The Chosen One” by Sports Illustrated back when he was only 17 years old (he was so touched, he had the phrase tattooed on his back), James was rewarded for his tremendous vision and unparalleled skill by receiving the highest total career earnings out of any player in the NBA.
