Lebron James is a prime example of hard work and perseverance as the famous basketball player, now considered the best of the best, had a rough childhood. According to LA Times, between ages 3 and 17, LeBron never really had a permanent home and he slept on a lot of couches. His most permanent home during that time was a modest two-floor house in Akron, Ohio where he lived off and on with his football coach.

The NBA player came a long way since then as he now owns multiple mansions, with his 23-million-dollar mansion in Brentwood, LA seemingly being his primary place of residence. The 8-bedroom and 11-bathroom estate includes a gated driveway, custom chef’s kitchen, showroom-like closets, and a private patio, a rooftop terrace, a home theater, wine cellar, a gym, and a pool and spa area, as well as a sizable garage.
