What did James LeBron spend his first salary on, and what did Lionel Messi spend it too?

He hadn't even entered the NBA and sports analysts were already calling him "The Chosen One" to dominate the best basketball in the world. LeBron James proved from the get-go that he was a different player with a unique IQ. By being chosen as the first pick of the 2003 Draft, LeBron secured the first millionaire contract in his career. The Cleveland Cavaliers paid him $ 18,788,540 million for four years, but this would not be the only money James received as a rookie.

What to do with the first millionaire payment you received? Just as he is smart with the Los Angeles Lakers, he does the same when it comes to handling money. LeBron took the first million he received and made a deposit into his account. After depositing much of the first millionaire payment he received upon entering the NBA, LeBron James was left with $ 2,000 in cash to take his best friends and family to the amusement park.

For his part, and already consecrated in the training divisions of FC Barcelona, Lionel Messi began to receive a salary in addition to considerable amounts of money from his current technical sponsor when he was just 16 years old. As described by one of the portals specialized in this kind of report, Leo invested his first million euros in the purchase of a house in Castelldefels for himself and his family, thus moving his residence from the club's pension to his own home in one of the most luxurious regions of Catalonia.
