LeBron James Interested In 'Buying' $50 Million Miami Mansion
By Dr. Boyce Watkins, PhD on Jul 16th 2010 10:50AM
LeBron James' home in Akron, Ohio, definitely embodies the life of the rich and famous. According to an interview he did with Jimmy Kimmel, it has an ATM, a bowling alley, a barber shop, a casino and a Starbucks in it. I never knew someone could have a Starbucks in their own home, but then again, the company seems to have locations everywhere.
Since LeBron James is moving to Miami, though, he has to find a new home, and the residence that is said to have caught his eye is a $49.8 million mega-mansion, the most expensive house in Coral Gables, Fla. The home was owned, at one point, by former coach and current General Manager of the Miami Heat Pat Riley.
Life & Style Magazine is reporting that the deal is as good as done. The house was apparently taken off the market as soon as LeBron announced that he was coming to Miami, which observers say is no coincidence. The 20,800-square-foot house has a full gym, eight bedrooms, a full basketball court and a 12-camera security system, along with all the other bells and whistles you'd expect from a house that costs nearly $50 million. You can see some of the pictures below:
In light of the fact that LeBron's current contract with the Heat is worth $110 million, the home is certainly not out of his price range. Also, even though it is known that LeBron gave up roughly $30 million in order to sign with the same team as Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh, he is likely going to make back most of this money in endorsements that come from playing for a better team in a larger market. It must feel good to be LeBron right about now!
*****************************************************************************************************
Why not keep Starbucks Coffee stored in the pantry and let your Housekeeper prepare it whenever you want it? Wouldn't that be cheaper than adding a Freaking Starbucks-wing to your mansion? Then again if LaBron's Management team employs a staff to work the StarBucks, Barber shop & Casino this helps the local economy...
What in the world does he plan to build inside his $50-Million dollar crib in Miami? And who is gonna buy his "Mini-Las Vegas" crib back in Ohio?....
