LeBron James has accomplished numerous significant feats throughout his NBA superstar career. With $480 million worth of endorsement agreements and NBA championships to his credit, LeBron James is not unfamiliar with the celebrity lifestyle. The four-time NBA Most Valuable Player has acquired a Gulfstream G280 private aircraft valued at approximately $22 million. LeBron is renowned for his commitment to his family; he utilizes his private aircraft to spend time with them. For instance, he charters a G280 in order to attend a high school basketball contest featuring his son, LeBron James Jr. LeBron James has even forbidden his children from boarding his private aircraft in an effort to instill in them a sense of humility and appreciation for their good fortune. 

In 2010, LeBron attended the nuptials of his close friend Carmelo Anthony, but for the most part, he utilized his jet to travel to visit his family and go on vacations. When LeBron James was just beginning his NBA career, Adidas provided a private aircraft for him and his companions to attend a Lakers game from the courtside. This was intended to induce LeBron to sign a shoe contract with Adidas; however, the bribe was insufficient, and LeBron ultimately decided to sign with Nike. In addition to providing LeBron James with courtside seats and a private aircraft, Adidas CEO Sony Vaccaro offered him a $100 million contract; however, he remained unmoved.
