It is no secret that many NBA players earn millions of dollars annually. With that enormous amount of money, there is so much they can do. Some of them have chosen to invest in homes.
These homes are the kind that most people can only fantasize about. Since many of us cannot own such houses now, we can at least make the best of NBA odds to make some additional cash that could contribute to buying our own homes in the future.
By now, you are probably curious about how spectacular the homes of these NBA stars are and what it must cost to get them. This article will satisfy your curiosity by beaming the lights on six crazy expensive mansions owned by NBA stars. Let’s get started.
1. LeBron James – $36.75 million (Beverly Hills, California)
LeBron James’ mansion in Beverly Hills is 13,000 square feet and covers about 2.5 acres of land at the hilltop. This mansion is the fourth the Lakers star will be owning and the third in LA. He has two other mansions located in Brentwood, LA, and one in Akron, Ohio.
This Beverly mansion features a pool house with two baths, four bedrooms, eight total bathrooms, two guest houses, seven fireplaces, a lighted tennis court, and a movie theatre.
The house is positioned so that it has views of both Beverly Hills and the Pacific Ocean. The hedge-lined driveway and palm-topped motor court are two of the major takeaways of this mansion.
2. Steph Curry – $31 million (Atherton, California)

While paying $31 million may seem like a lot to many people, it probably is not that big of a deal to Curry. He had multiple contracts over $200 million in his name, making him the first NBA player to sign contracts worth that amount.
This mansion sits on a 1.2-acre lot and features a combination of contemporary and traditional architectural styles. It also features formal gardens, numerous terraces, and a guest house.
