LeBron and Carter are the first two black men to ever be partners of the Fenway Sports Group, according to the same report from Silverman. They will now wait for official MLB approval to get their piece of the nine-team World Series champion team.

Say whatever you want about LeBron James, but the man just knows how to make money and increase his footprint in the world of sports.
He’s won four NBA titles, is arguably the most talented player to pick up a basketball, owns part of a pro soccer team and will now own part of a historic MLB franchise.

You have to wonder if King James’ goal in the end is to own a little bit of everything. He’s been dominating the NBA for the better part of two decades, now owns parts of multiple sports teams and has a skyrocketing Hollywood career.
You can hate him all you want, but the Los Angeles Lakers forward is absolutely crushing life.
