LeBron James, "The King" and the highest salary of the year, the difference with a devalued Cristiano Ronaldo

Los Angeles Lakers star Lebron James is a basketball player first, but also a very successful businessman. LeBron James is expected to become a billionaire this year. LeBron has several businesses through his ownership of Fenway Sports Group, SpringHill Entertainment and Blaze Pizza. He has also expressed interest in owning an NBA team someday, and his many business ventures are leading him down the right path.

LeBron James is the NBA's highest-earning player for the seventh consecutive year, including off-court earnings (2016-17 was the only season in his career where James had the highest player salary). He is expected to earn $95.4 million, including an estimated $64 million from endorsements, memorabilia and media. That's a record for an NBA player and the highest in American team sports. 

For another hand, Juventus pays at Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese star, a total of 31 million euros per year. When he left Real Madrid in the summer of 2018, he was receiving around €25 million from the white club. If we average over the 12 months of the year, Cristiano earns about 2.6 million euros in each of them. That's a total of 603,000 euros per week and 86,000 euros per day. 61 euros per minute, which is almost what I earn in a month.
