LeBron James’ stunning new $37M Beverly Hills mansion takes shape… after police arrested
LeBron James may be playing for Philadelphia and living in New York, but the 76ers star’s massive new compound is nearing completion back in Los Angeles, as seen in exclusive new aerial photos obtained by The Daily Mail.
James was a member of the Lakers when he bought the property in 2020 for a reported $37 million. Since then, he demolished the original 1930s home to rebuild on the 2.5-acre lot.
In addition to a pool and basketball court, the 16,000sq ft property boasts a 7,700sq ft basement garage below two separate mansions. And while they will have different addresses, the two homes share a gatehouse and secure entrance, according to Realtor.com.
The property was first owned by French actor Charles Boyer, who later sold it to Howard Hughes, according to the US Sun.
The progress at his new home comes after an alleged stalker was arrested outside his family’s current LA property last week. James later confirmed his family is safe after the ordeal, which ended with a suspect being booked on a felony stalking charge.
According to reports, the unidentified suspect was lurking outside the NBA legend’s residence and bizarrely claimed to be James’s son when approached by police.

‘My family is safe and that’s the most important,’ James told reporters on Sunday when asked about the harrowing situation, per ESPN’s Kris Rhim.
‘We’re still looking into everything,’ the four-time NBA champion added, keeping details surrounding the ongoing investigation close to the chest.
It remains unclear whether James’s wife, Savannah, and their 12-year-old daughter, Zhuri, were inside the sprawling property at the time of the arrest. James’s eldest son, Bronny, is currently a Lakers guard, while middle child Bryce is a redshirt sophomore at Arizona.
The suspect’s identity has not been released by LAPD.
James himself was away on a road trip when the incident occurred, as he was in Ohio preparing to play the Cleveland Cavaliers later that night.
With the Sixers off to a 9-3 start, James has been helicoptering between Philadelphia and a residence in New York, while his wife, Savannah, and their 12-year-old daughter, Zhuri, remain back in LA, where the youngest member of the James family attends school and plays volleyball.
In addition to his Brentwood home, James also owns properties in his native Akron and in Miami’s exclusive Coconut Grove.
