LeBron James' teammates call him 'the cheapest guy in the NBA' - but he just bought a $23 million mansion in Los Angeles
- Basketball superstar LeBron James purchased a home in Los Angeles for $23 million.
- The mansion is his second in Los Angeles and his third house overall.
- LeBron and his family of five can live in great comfort and style in the luxurious, newly-built palace.
The king of basketball is heading to Los Angeles.
No, LeBron James won't be suiting up for the Lakers - not yet, anyway. The star athlete just spent $23 million on a brand new home in the swanky Brentwood neighborhood. The home is actually King James' second in LA, in addition to his house in Akron, Ohio.
This purchase clashes with the image LeBron tries to create of the frugal basketball star. Perhaps the Cleveland Cavilers' forward is prudent with other purchases in order to afford his three mansions.
When he played for the Miami Heat, James resided in a south Florida home he sold for over $13 million. His newest purchase is a 2017-built home that cost him slightly more than the $20 million he handed over for his first LA mansion.
For sports fans, the purchase may be an indicator that LeBron will choose to play in California when he is a free agent next year. Everyone - even non-sports fans - can appreciate the splendor of his new digs.
