He has to pay an agent also.
Personal chefs and the like as well. I remember how much of his own money LeBron says he spent to maintain playing shape. At those levels the people and professionals offering services ain’t cheap either. As you go up everyone scales up their prices as well. They ain’t about to let you make all that money and not see a cut of it. You see trainers pull off in Lamborghini’s, you think that’s because they’re charging the same rates as any other trainer at 24 Hour Fitness?
It’s crazy to believe, but many celebrities and superstars have the same worries when it comes to balancing finances like other people do because it’s expensive af to compete and maintain at those levels.
Normally affordable but start throwing in all the expenses (like child support) and a lot of the budget is spent on the maintenance needed to work and compete instead of living “the best life”.
