Sportico analyzed James' sources of income: James' salary of US$52.6 million with the Lakers only ranked 12th, but since he was selected by the Cavaliers as the No. 1 pick in 2003, James' off-court income has always exceeded his on-court salary. That year he signed a $90 million contract with Nike and reached sponsorship cooperation with brands such as Coca-Cola and Upper Deck. To this day, Nike remains his biggest partner. The lifetime Nike contract James signed in 2015 is worth more than $1 billion, according to his longtime business manager Maverick Carter.
