"There's no data used at all": Kevin Love mocked billionaire LeBron James for being cheap





LeBron James of the LA Lakers is one of the few billionaire athletes in the world. Despite being worth a lot of money, James is one of the most frugal players in the NBA. 


Kevin Love even mocked "The King" for being so cheap that he doesn't want to use his data. In an interview with Taylor Rooks of Bleacher Report last year, Love discussed James saving his data whenever possible and waiting for Wi-Fi to be available. 




 "They talk about wealth and all that, like, sometimes it's the things you don’t see. And for him, it's like, if we're in Toronto, right? That drive from the airport and going through customs to then getting to our hotel, yeah, there's no data used at all. He's waiting for the Wi-Fi all the time. 


"I can appreciate it, I gotta say it's not like I’m mad at it but I'm like, 'C'mon, 'Bron. Like, seriously? It's Wi-Fi.' Maybe it's good to get away from your phone for a minute but, I don't know, it's just, roaming. I don't know." 


LeBron James officially became a billionaire back in May, according to Forbes. James is the current highest earner in the NBA with more than $431 million in the past 20 seasons. James' business decisions, sponsors, and investments over the years helped him become the first active NBA player to have $1 billion in net worth. 



Some of his sponsors include Coca-Cola, Dunkin', McDonald's, and State Farm. "The King" also has partnerships with Nike, Pepsi, and Walmart, earning him millions annually. His biggest investments were in companies such as Beats by Dre, Blaze Pizza, Fenway Sports Group, and SpringHill Entertainment.

Prince Harry will return to the UK Royal Family on a permanent basis, but he will come alone, claims a historian. Royal biographer Hugo Vickers was asked where Harry and Meghan Markle would be in 10 years.  Vickers said that returning home would be “very nice" for the Duke of Sussex. "I think he’ll come home. If he comes home, it will be very nice for him, because he won’t particularly want to. He’s quite angry, I think," he said.
