LeBron James has added another title to his collection: billionaire. Forbes estimated the Los Angeles Lakers star’s net worth at $1bn  in a report published on Thursday .

As we previously reported, future Hall of Famer  Aaron Donald  became one of the first big names to go public with his decision to  partner with Ye  for off-field ventures ... saying it was a "no-brainer" to join forces. But as it turns out, Brown was way ahead of AD ... becoming the first athlete to ever sign with Donda, we're told. Sources tell us Ye and Brown have been tight for a while now, but things were made official after West attended the Warriors vs. Celtics game in March.
