How much property fees do James pay for a Los Angeles luxury house for 370 million yuan?

As the NBA facade of this era, James has extremely brilliant career achievements, 4 championships, 4 Finals MVPs, 4 regular season MVPs, historical scoring champions, and "411" record. It can be said that the above alone is enough to make him enter the best discussion range in history.

At the same time, James is also the player with the strongest money-making ability in the league. His total salary in his career ranks first in history, and he also holds a lifelong contract of Nike of $1 billion. Various commercial endorsements and investment returns have made James make a fortune, with his annual income exceeding 100 million yuan, and his net worth has exceeded 1.8 billion US dollars.

Although James has long achieved financial freedom and is even ridiculed by fans because he is reluctant to turn on traffic, he is never stingy with his family. In order to give his family the ultimate enjoyment of life, when he joined the Lakers in 2018, he bought a super luxury house in Los Angeles, with a price of up to US$52 million, equivalent to about RMB 370 million. In response, netizens lamented: "It's rich and inhumane!" This mansion covers an area of ​​1,486 square meters and is designed by world-renowned architect Paul McClean. It can be regarded as the perfect fusion of modern architecture and luxurious life. The interior facilities are amazingly complete, with media rooms, lounges, bars, gyms, golf simulators, billiards, cigar rooms, wine cellars, spa bathtubs and saunas. In addition, standing on the terrace of this mansion, you can see the beautiful city views, golden beaches and vast sea of ​​Los Angeles, as if you have the magnificence of the whole world.

So, how much property fees do you need to pay for such a luxury house like a palace? In fact, there is no concept of "property fees" in the United States like in China, but the maintenance and management costs of luxury houses are a heavy expense. For James' super luxury house, the annual maintenance costs, property taxes, insurance premiums, safety management fees, etc. are as high as US$300,000, or about RMB 2 million.

Specifically, the cost of lawn maintenance, swimming pool cleaning, garden maintenance of luxury houses costs tens of thousands of dollars. High property tax is also the bulk of annual expenses. According to local tax rates, the higher the valuation of luxury houses, the higher the property tax. In addition, insurance premiums, security service fees, etc. are also essential expenses. These costs combined form James' $300,000 in maintenance costs per year. This number may be a wealth that ordinary people cannot accumulate in their lifetimes, but for James, it is just an insignificant corner of his huge wealth empire.

Faced with such high "property fees", netizens expressed their opinions one after another. Some people sighed: "This is simply astronomical. Ordinary people will never make so much money in their lifetime!" Some people said: "For James, this is just a drop in the bucket. His efforts and efforts have long made him worthy of such a life." Some people joked: "It seems that even billionaires have their own 'trivial matters'. This $300,000 expenditure may be just the tip of the iceberg for them."
