When you are worth $1.2 billion you can pretty much do what you want in the real estate market. But even with all that money tearing down a $37 million baller mansion just to rebuild it even more baller is crazy. That’s exactly what LeBron James and wife Savannah James are doing with their Beverly Hills property.

The 40-year-old Los Angeles Lakers superstar opted into the final year of his Lakers contract for $52.6 million for the 2025-2026 season with some speculating he will not be with the team after next season. He even was just seen on a yacht in France with Denver Nuggets All-Star Nikola Jokic’s agent fueling even more fire.

No doubt, he will keep roots in Los Angeles, though, as James has a lot of business interests in LA with Hollywood and other endeavors with his business partner Maverick Carter (who was also on that yacht, by the way). He may settle there after his career is over.

His son Bronny James, 20, also plays for the Lakers and lives with mom and dad at their other $23 million LA property in Brentwood. LeBron also has a sick $10 million masterpiece of a mansion in Ohio when he wants to go back to his hometown.

Back to the $37 million, 2.5-acre property he purchased in 2020 and now demolished. Here’s an aerial look at the before-and-after of the house being there.

When it’s all done, it may stand out like the Getty Museum in LA. No doubt it will be fit for a King James with his Queen Savannah.
