Graded GEM MT 10 by PSA. Of the 500 or so copies of this card that PSA has graded a mere 40% of all graded copies have been assessed at the GEM MINT 10 grade. In addition to his immense basketball skills and LeBron's on court accomplishments it should be noted that his off court interests are many. LeBron James first publicly expressed his desire to become a billionaire in a 2014 interview with GQ's Jeanne Marie Laskas. "It's my biggest milestone," James said. "Obviously. I want to maximize my business. And if I happen to get it, if I happen to be a billion-dollar athlete, ho. Hip hip hooray! Oh, my God, I'm gonna be excited." Well, according to Kurt Badenhausen of Forbes, it's close to becoming a reality. He reports that James is expected to cross $1 billion in career earnings in 2021. Whether that translates to a billion-dollar net worth, or if it already has, is uncertain, but considering James' success as an investor and pitch man, it seems extremely likely. According to Badenhausen, James will earn a projected $95.4 million this season. Roughly $31.4 million of that will come from his on-court earnings as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. His contract itself calls for a $39.2 million salary, but players are expected to surrender 20 percent of their earnings to the league's escrow system as the NBA grapples with the revenue lost without having fans in arenas. The remaining $64 million will come through endorsements.
