Savannah James, wife of iconic basketball player LeBron James, has forged her own path in the business and philanthropic worlds, becoming one of the richest women in the NBA. Born Savannah Rachel Brinson on August 27, 1986, to a large family in Ohio, her life took a significant turn when she began dating LeBron at age 16. Since then, she has been by his side, supporting his career and building her own legacy.

The couple tied the knot in September 2013 after twelve years of dating and have three 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren: Ronnie, Bryce and Zuri. Savannah has taken on a crucial role in their home, balancing family life with her husband’s busy career. “Being his wife and mother to his 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren is part of my contribution to his success,” says Savannah.

On the business front, Savannah has proven herself to be a passionate entrepreneur. In 2018, she teamed up with K-Plus Organics to develop a line of kid-friendly sports drinks, focusing on the health of young athletes, a topic close to her heart given that her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren are student athletes. Before that, in 2013, she opened “The Juice Spot,” an organic juice bar in Miami, though she had to close in 2016 due to her busy travel schedule.

In addition to her ventures, Savannah has become deeply involved in philanthropy. She is a key figure in the LeBron James Foundation, which includes opening the “I PROMISE” public school in Akron, Ohio, aimed at at-risk students. Since opening in 2018, the foundation has donated more than $41 million in scholarships to students at the University of Akron.

Savannah also launched the “I PROMISE Makeover” event in 2013, which provides prom dresses to underprivileged girls, and created the “Akron Women of Our Future” program, which provides mentorship to high school girls. Through these initiatives, Savannah not only supports the community, but also inspires young girls to achieve their dreams. Savannah James’ story is a testament to empowerment and dedication, highlighting her role as an influential figure in the lives of many young girls.
