Meanwhile, another newsmaker about LeBron James was regarding his latest purchase. In a report by Lauren Beale of the Los Angeles Times, James bought a 9,440-square foot mansion that was not marketed for sale in the Multiple Listing Service.
The price of the house, which was built in 2011, was said to be worth $20,986,500.
The report adds that James had already sold his Contemporary compound in Coconut Grove, Florida this summer for $13.4 million. According to another report by Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com, an anonymous source close to James claimed that the NBA star's latest financial decision was not, in any way, related to basketball.
"This is not a basketball decision," the unnamed source said. "He enjoys L.A. as a vacation spot and as a place to relax in the offseason."
"His entertainment business interests are continuing to expand, and it gives him a place to conduct business from in the offseason too," the source adds.
