In the summer of 2018, basketball icon LeBron James made headlines by signing a monumental four-year, $153 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, marking his official departure from the Cleveland Cavaliers and his beloved hometown of Akron, Ohio.
Prior to this career move, James made a significant investment in Los Angeles’s prestigious Brentwood neighborhood, acquiring a lavish mansion for a staggering $23 million. This acquisition added yet another remarkable property to his already impressive real estate portfolio, which includes another mansion in L.A. and his cherished Akron residence.
Described as a “masterpiece of light and design” by Trulia, the sprawling estate features eight bedrooms, eleven bathrooms, and embodies an ultra-modern aesthetic. It boasts luxurious amenities such as marble countertops and walls, exquisite natural French oak floors imported from Spain, and a sophisticated neutral color scheme with a predominant focus on pristine white hues.
Constructed in 2017, the property is adorned with a gated driveway, a bespoke chef’s kitchen, opulent showroom-style walk-in closets, a private patio in the primary bedroom, a rooftop terrace, a state-of-the-art theater room, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, a sumptuous cigar lounge, an elegant onyx bar, an expansive indoor/outdoor gym, a rejuvenating spa equipped with a steam room, sauna, shower, and massage room, an oversized pool and spa, an outdoor kitchen, guest quarters, and an impressive “auto gallery”—a luxurious term for a garage tailored to showcase vehicles in style.
Join us for an exclusive tour of LeBron James’s newest residence in Los Angeles.
According to Business Insider, the courtyard, designed with concentric brick circles, provides abundant space to house LeBron James’s renowned car collection. Among his impressive lineup are the luxurious Lamborghini Aventador, the high-performance Porsche 911 Turbo S, and a lovingly restored 1975 Chevy Impala.
The spacious kitchen boasts standout features, including a radiant French range, a striking black and white marble backsplash that elegantly frames the space, and a coordinating island.
In the realm of luxury living in Los Angeles, the seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces is key. The expansive living room exemplifies this concept with its floor-to-ceiling sliding doors accented in stylish black steel. This design feature allows for a refreshing natural breeze to flow through the space, whether you’re relaxing at the bar counter or lounging on the sofa by the cozy fireplace.
The bedroom exudes a sense of regal opulence, courtesy of its imposing bed and luxurious furry accents. However, the true highlight is the sun-drenched sitting area, featuring a chic curvaceous bean sofa and rustic tree stump tables, complemented by oversized artwork on either side. This inviting space serves as the perfect sanctuary for relaxation and contemplation, blending elegance with natural charm.
This custom closet is truly a dream come true, offering ample space to showcase LeBron James’s extensive collection of Nike sneakers, Thom Browne suits, and hoodies. However, the pièce de résistance is undoubtedly the jewelry and watch case, where James’s most prized possession—the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph Tourbillon, as highlighted by GQ—is certain to be prominently displayed, receiving the honor it deserves.
LeBron James and his team can indulge in al fresco dining throughout the year on the expansive covered patio, adorned with striking black-and-white marble terrazzo flooring.
James’s 17-year trainer, Mike Mancias, revealed to Men’s Health last year that the basketball player needs a home gym with enough space to store weights in addition to foam rollers, mats, and balance balls because his routine consists of several phases. When he’s ready for the strength and aerobic sections of the workout, the black steel trimmed sliding doors and ceiling fan keep it cool.
