LeBron James' Liverpool Investment Reportedly Worth $32 Million After 7 Years

Scott PolacekMay 2, 2018

Liverpool advancing to the UEFA Champions League final on Wednesday with a 7-6 aggregate win over AS Roma was good news for more than just the club's fans.

According to Darren Rovell of ESPN.com, Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James bought a 2 percent stake in Liverpool in 2011 for approximately $6.5 million. Rovell cited a sports investment banker who said Liverpool could currently be sold for $1.6 billion, and that was a conservative estimate.

Using that estimate, James' stake would be worth $32 million just seven years after he purchased it for far less.
