LeBron James is set to earn nearly four times as much from his Polymarket partnership as he will from the Philadelphia 76ers during the 2026-27 NBA season, according to Front Office Sports' report. Polymarket is paying the basketball star $15 million per year for the endorsement deal, while he is expected to earn $3.9 million from the 76ers.
The $11 million annual difference is a significant contrast to James' overall financial position. James joined the 76ers after leaving the Los Angeles Lakers, signing a two-year, $8 million contract. The decision to choose Philadelphia over other teams was driven by his desire to continue his career and compete for another championship, rather than financial considerations.
James' net worth is estimated at $1.4 billion, with his NBA on-court career earnings reaching $581.3 million.
