LeBron James Claims He's "Broke," Says He Gets "Everything for Free"

A video of American basketball player LeBron James went viral on social media, showing him claiming to be "broke." While discussing his wealth, he stated that he receives everything for free and that his bank balance does not exceed a few thousand dollars.

When asked about reports indicating his net worth is $1.2 billion, James responded: "Do you want me to lie? Everything Google says is a lie. It's much, much less. I have a few thousand in the bank, and that's it. It's a few thousand, and my kids have all the money now."

James insisted: "Everything I get is free. Everything I wear is free, the shirt is free, the pants are also free, my wedding ring is free, the hat, everything is free. Even the watch I'm wearing is free, and it's a LeBron James edition Richard Mille watch."

The Richard Mille watch bearing LeBron James's name is valued at $405,000, with only 150 pieces ever made. The price of this exclusive timepiece can rise to $1 million in the resale market.

LeBron concluded his remarks by asserting: "I don't have any money. I'm broke. My kids have all the money, and now they are taking care of their father. I own nothing, I am destitute."

It is worth noting that American news reports indicate the Los Angeles Lakers player has earned at least $600 million in salaries throughout his career, which began in 2003 with the Cleveland Cavaliers, while his commercial earnings and endorsement deals amount to approximately the same figure.
