Lebron Raymone James Jr., better known to many as Bronny James, is best known as the eldest son of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James. The 19-year-old is already following his father's footsteps, a reason why Bronny James' net worth for 2023 is of interest to basketball pundits.
The earnings that Bronny James is racking have been partly due to his father's popularity. However, it cannot be denied that the 19-year-old has talent, which is why he was a consensus four-star recruit and part of the McDonald's All-American as a senior in high school in 2023, per USA Today.
He is currently studying at the University of South Carolina and is a member of the Trojans basketball team. Unfortunately, his basketball career has been put on hold after suffering a cardiac arrest during a USC practice last July 24, 2023, per Bleacher Report.
The James family would later announce that Bronny James' cardiac arrest was due to a congenital defect, the Huffington Post reported.
