According to a report from Forbes, the four-time NBA champion will eclipse the $1 billion mark for career earnings at some point in 2021. He’s expected to make a little under $100 million this year from his NBA contract with the Lakers and off the court deals.

The dude’s stock is as high as it’s ever been coming off a fourth championship.
