Savannah James is 37! She celebrated her birthday earlier this week on Instagram, with her hubby, NBA superstar LeBron James aka “King James”, then re-sharing her post on his Stories with a big heart emoji at the centre.
In the photo, Savannah looks as stylish as ever, donning an all-black feathery one-piece complete with minimal jewellery, sleek hair and stilettos. The happy couple and their family are known to enjoy a luxurious, fabulous lifestyle, with LeBron often referring to his incredibly stylish wife as his “queen”, of course.
There’s no doubt that the James household are basketball royalty, with LeBron achieving billionaire status last year, according to Forbes. We take a closer look into how the power couple splash their cash.
How did LeBron and Savannah James meet?
These two are the epitome of couple goals. According to Cleveland Magazine, they met in their teens, when Savannah was a 16-year-old at Buchtel senior school, and LeBron was a 17-year-old at St. Vincent-St. Mary in Ohio.
Their first date? LeBron invited her to one of his basketball games (of course), followed by a hang-out at a local Applebee’s, states the source. They’ve been together ever since.
Five-star family holidays
From Four Seasons in the Maldives and a five-star stay in Dubai to the picturesque Portofino, Italy and a tropical trip to St. Tropez in the south of France, these lovebirds know how to appreciate the high life in the world’s most exotic destinations.
LeBron and Savannah have three kids together: LeBron “Bronny” James Jr., 18, Bryce Maximus, 16, and Zhuri Nova, 8. They’ve been spotted jet-setting on family holidays to places like the beautiful Turks and Caicos.
A fairy-tale wedding
LeBron and Savannah aren’t shy about sharing their love and devotion to one another, as seen in plenty of their social media posts.
However, according to Essence, details about their wedding day in 2013 remained a mystery for many fans until 2021, when LeBron decided to post a glimpse into their special day, which he dubbed their “personal Met Gala”. According to reports, the nuptials were spread over a three-day bash in San Diego.
A-list pals
Oh, and let’s not forget their glamorous couples’ holidays with Paul and Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union.
Top-tier Hollywood events
As two of the most recognisable faces in the US, it’s no surprise that the Jameses get VIP tickets to plenty of red carpet events.
From the sporting Espy awards and the Met Gala, to the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party and movie premieres with the kids, this dynamic duo are no strangers to Hollywood’s biggest events.
Enviable wardrobes
Mega mansions
According to British media, LeBron boasts a US$100 million property portfolio that includes three mansions in Los Angeles alone (one in Beverly Hills and two in Brentwood). Fox News reported that the NBA superstar recently demolished the family’s US$37 million 13,000 sq ft Beverly Hills house to rebuild a shiny new “dream home”.
James’ collection also includes a US$9 million Bath Township property in his hometown, Ohio.
