The decision comes after LeBron James added his fourth NBA championship ring this past season. Now, he’s adding to his bank account!

Life sure must be nice when you’re LeBron James! He’s winning NBA titles, building up his legacy with every passing season and he’s now going to be $85 million richer.

I’m certainly no fan of King James’ antics outside of basketball, but there’s no doubt he’s worth every single penny.

We’re talking about a generational talent and arguably the greatest basketball player to ever live. Outside of Michael Jordan, there’s nobody who is even close.

All LeBron knows how to do is win and win at the highest level!

Also, his earnings just from NBA contract money is north of $300 million through this past season, according to Spotrac.

Now, LeBron James will try to win his fifth title ring. Judging from what we saw this past season, I wouldn’t want to be the person betting against him.
