No need to worry though as this isn’t about his basketball skills. But it is interesting to know that Taylor Swift is head and shoulders above the 6’8” manbeast that is James in this list.

Just recently, Forbes released their list of the top earning celebrities of 2016 where the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar sat at the 11th spot with a total income of $77 million dollars. Ahead of James were soccer stars Lionel Messi at number eight and Cristiano Ronaldo at number four.

But the one that ruled them all was recording star Taylor Swift who earned a whopping $170 million.

LeBron James, as everyone knows, is more than just a basketball player. He is also a businessman. He owns a media company and also has investments in a popular food chain as well as a soccer club in England.

So, life is good for LeBron James.
