Depending on what time of day it is, Trump could say he’s worth as much as $10 billion meanwhile, various outlets have him pegged around $4 billion with one journalist even saying he was worth a mere $150 million (Trump sued him because of course he did). I hate to be the sneaker blog that brings up Donald Trump, but think about the constant chatter about how much he’s really worth. That number is out there now and for the hundreds of millions of people around the world who might come across this story over the next several days, they are going to see the juicy billion-dollar headline and believe it to be true. He did what any good business manager would do for his client make them worth more than what they actually appear to be.

Maverick Carter made LeBron James a billionaire regardless of whether it’s true or not. Companies that work with LeBron or would like to work with him in the future are sweating right now because when their time to renegotiate comes, guess what number is going to come up? It’s not a pretty place to be in right now unless you enjoy talking about other people’s money, which seems to be case. Analysts, bloggers and Sneaker Twitter are all bickering over whether or not Nike is out of their mind or forward thinking in blessing James with such a large amount of cash. There are the supporters who believe LeBron is worth even more than a billion dollars, but then again they also think LeBron has a shot in hell against either Oklahoma City or Golden State in the NBA Finals (sorry, Raptor fans) in a few weeks. There are the haters who say LeBron isn’t worth that much to Nike and will point to his signature shoes languishing in stores as evidence, not realizing that “lifetime deal” means retros, branded stores and who knows what else in the future. Naturally, as is most things related to LeBron, the internet has been on fire with the hot takes. LeBron James when he heard Maverick got him a billion dollars… maybe… (Fox Sports) Notice I said “kinda sorta” because pointing a finger upward for a GQ interview where there were no cameras to document the motion (that we know of) is a lot easier to deny or play off as a joke rather than straight up saying “hell yeah, LeBron got a billion dollars from Nike, ka-ching, m**********r!” With a point of his finger upward, LeBron’s business partner Maverick Carter kinda sorta confirmed that his buddy will be getting a billion dollars from the swoosh over the course of his lifetime deal. Or at least, that’s what “they” would you want to believe. That’s where LeBron James currently stands at the moment. Oh, and a pretty sweet deal with the biggest athletic brand in the world. For any athlete to approach that number, it would take someone who has been in the spotlight since they were barely old enough to drive, achieved the heights of their profession and crossed over into mainstream America with endorsement deals, television commercials, social media dominance, not to mention a film role or two. Enough zeroes in the bank account to last someone and their family multiple lifetimes and generations to come. James and Maverick Carter’s The SpringHill Company will serve as financing, operations and producing partner for Hana Kuma.A billion dollars has a nice ring to it. We will bring stories to life with this goal in mind: to make unique perspectives feel universal and inspire people along the way.” I’m so excited for what we are building at Hana Kuma. “My story is a testament to that as well. You can see this in the popularity of television from Asia, Europe, and Latin America that the unique can also be universal. “In the streaming age, content has a more global perspective.

“There has been an explosion of creators of colour finally being equipped with resources and a huge platform,” Osaka, who has a Haitian father and Japanese mother, said in a press release about her newest venture.

Japanese tennis player Naomi Osaka is launching a new media company in partnership with four-times NBA champion LeBron James aimed at telling stories that cross-cultural barriers, the former world No 1 announced.
