“I was under a lot of pressure,” Bronny James said once. That statement makes complete sense. When your father is LeBron James, the bar is set at a different level before you even touch the court.
Most fans still have not fully bought into Bronny as a legitimate NBA player, but he keeps showing up.
Breaking Down Bronny James’ Contract and Net Worth
Bronny joined the Los Angeles Lakers in July 2024 after being selected 55th overall in the 2024 NBA Draft. He signed a four-year, $7,895,796 rookie deal with $4.37 million guaranteed and a team option on the fourth year.
He is in the second year of that contract, and he is going to earn a base pay of $1,955,377 for the 2025-26 season per Spotrac. Through the end of this season, he has already pulled in $3,112,520 from the Lakers, and that includes the full $1.96 million salary of 2025-26.
Regarding his net worth, the exact figure isn’t officially confirmed, with many sources estimating it to be around $10 million.
Trusted platforms like Celebrity Net Worth place his net worth closer to $5 million.
At this age, having a few million dollars usually comes with some lifestyle choices. Like his father, Bronny has shown interest in cars, and his collection is reportedly worth around $401,000.
It includes models like the Dodge Charger SRT (worth around $75,000) and the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series Project 1 Edition (worth around $326,050).
His money is still growing, and so is his game. In the 2025-26 regular season, Bronny averaged 2.9 points, 1.2 assists, and 0.5 rebounds per game.
Critics had plenty to say, as usual. But as soon as the playoffs started, most of them went quiet.
In Game 3 of the first round against the Houston Rockets, Bronny finished with 5 points on 2-for-2 shooting from the field and played solid defense to help the Lakers win 112-108 in overtime.
That game also made history as LeBron and Bronny became the first father-son duo to connect on an alley-oop in NBA playoff history, having already made history earlier as the first father-son pair to share the court in a postseason game.
However, Game 4 was a different story.
Bronny scored 5 points again, but the Lakers lost 115-96. While the Lakers still hold a 3-1 series lead, how much Bronny can contribute in the later games remains to be seen.
