You Won’t Believe How LeBron James Scored His First Luxury Car!

DrivingFebruary 2, 2019

A Ferrari F430 is not a toy for kids! You must have money like LeBron James to afford such a car without worrying about bleeding your bank account dry. James doesn’t need an introduction and even those who don’t watch sports have heard the name of this NBA superstar somewhere. The basketball player started his basketball career in high school and eventually became a part of the prestigious National Basketball Association (NBA).

James has plied his trade with the Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers franchises. His many endorsement deals and NBA contracts fetched hundreds of millions for him.

With millions of dollars in his bank account, James can afford some of the most expensive cars in the world. And of course, like most other millionaires, James has the iconic Ferrari in his impressive car collection. But surprisingly, his love for luxury cars isn’t something that developed over his long-standing basketball career.

Even before his drafting to a professional basketball club, and long before his first endorsement with Nike, James owned an exotic car. His mother gave him a Hummer H2 on one of his birthdays while he was still in high school, and that present sparked his interest in luxury cars. Today, he has a Bentley, a Rolls-Royce and many other iconic cars in his garage.
