NBA superstar LeBron James has splashed out an incredible £17million on a new mansion in Los Angeles.

The Cleveland Cavaliers forward, 32, spared no expense in landing the Brentwood residence, complete with all the fittings you’d expect from one of the wealthiest men in sport.

James’ new place includes eight bedrooms, nine-and-a-half bathrooms… and even an elevator to get around.

 

On top of that, the LA mansion comes complete with a home cinema, wine cellar and cigar room.

Elsewhere in the 15,836 sq ft home there is a spa, complete with gym, steam room and sauna, to relax after the grind of a long season.

LeBron will become a free agent in the summer, with many wondering whether he may consider leaving Cleveland again – having led them to a famous NBA Championship in 2016.

However, a local reporter insisted: “Nothing should be construed about James’ future in Cleveland from the purchase.”

It’s worth noting that James already had one home in Brentwood, Los Angeles – suggesting a move to the Lakers or Clippers is NOT on the cards.

LeBron is incredibly enjoying arguably one of the best season’s of his long, distinguished career.

Despite his age, the forward has been putting up incredible numbers all year as he looked to drag his Cavaliers roster to another NBA title.

LeBron James could in theory be playing basketball in Los Angeles next season, as he goes into free agency

James’ Cavaliers currently sit second in the Eastern Conference, recovering from a slow start to the season to close the gap on former team-mate Kyrie Irving’s Boston Celtics.

LeBron’s new home in LA is merely a drop in the ocean for one of sport’s richest men – as the NBA star is currently raking in around £25m per year at the Cavs.

James earnings could bump up even higher next year should he decide to take up his player option to stay in Cleveland for another year.

However, if he rejects that, he will enter free agency, able to sign with any team in the entire NBA.
