Before he was drafted by the Cavaliers and before he signed his first shoe deal with Nike, LeBron James was already driving a car fit for a king. During his senior year, his mom bought her prodigious son a Hummer H2 for his birthday, using his future earning potential to secure a loan. His collection has only improved since. Ferraris, a Bentley, and a Rolls-Royce are all among the cars that have filled his garage. See what else he’s got with A Complete History of LeBron James’ Cars.

Hummer H2
Msrp: $63,090
Approximate Time Of Purchase: 2002
LeBron's Hummer might be one of the most notorious cars in sports since OJ's Bronco. During his senior year James' mom took out a loan using her son's future NBA earning potential. The Ohio High School Athletic Association investigated and found that LeBron didn't violate any rules ... until he traded photo appearances for throwback jerseys later in the season.
Ferrari F430 Spider
Msrp: $186,925-281,618
Approximate Time Of Purchase: 2008
In the first episode of Unique Whips, Will Castro of Unique Autosports presented King James with a customized F430. The two met up at his massive Cleveland garage that fit his whips and weights, but not his ego. Actual LeBron quote from the episode: "King James in the building."
Maybach 57S
Msrp: $376,300-416,200
Approximate Time Of Purchase: 2008
Calling this a vanity plate is an undestatement. We wonder if he got a "KNG OF FL" plate when he moved to South Beach.
Bentley Continental GT
Msrp: $175,700-$215,000
Approximate Time Of Purchase: 2009
In a 2009 interview LeBron was asked if he preferred a Rolls-Royce or a Bentley. Though he has both, he said his Continental GT is his favorite car.
Dodge Challenger SRT
Msrp: $44,195
Approximate Time Of Purchase: 2009
LBJ shows love for his favorite football team, the Dallas Cowboys, with the silver paintjob with blue stripes. Good thing he didn't grow up a Browns fan. Those colors wouldn't inspire a great look.
Ferrari 599
Msrp: $310543-$320580
Approximate Time Of Purchase: 2009
This 'Rari continued LeBron's friendship with Unique Autosports. He bought the car from his favorite auto shop for his 25th birthday. Big homie Shaq's present wasn't enough to satisfy his hunger for nice whips.
7. Rolls-Royce Phantom
Msrp: $398,970-47,0295
Approximate Time Of Purchase: 2009
Shaq made it a whole lot harder for LeBron's other friends to get him a birthday gift. For the Chosen One's 25th Birthday, O'Neal got his teammate a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG
Msrp: $140000
Approximate Time Of Purchase: 2010
The man clearly loves his cars all white. We doubt people from CLE think he's so innocent.
Range Rover HSE
Msrp: $88,545
Approximate Time Of Purchase: 2010
The King's Range Rover could be seen in the background of his interview back in Akron. If he left it back in his hometown, he probably needed extra secure storage so it wouldn't end up in flames like his Cleveland jerseys.
1975 Chevy Impala
Msrp:
Approximate Time Of Purchase: 2010
LeBron also has love for the classics. This tricked-out, blue Impala is a nice deviation from his collection dominated by cars from the aughts.
Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
Msrp: $25,795
Approximate Time Of Purchase: 2010
Shortly after he busted out the Camaro, we saw LeBron in another car that the masses could afford-stock, that is. The bright orange Wrangler has his lion logo stitched into the headrests.
Chevy Camaro SS
Msrp: $30,945-33,945
Approximate Time Of Purchase: 2010
The MSRP on the Camaro is low for LeBron, but there's no way that's what he paid. The matte white paint job and rims alone added a few stacks. Its Storm Trooper looks didn't do anything to ward off thoughts that he started an evil empire in Miami.
Porsche 911 Turbo S
Msrp: $181,100
Approximate Time Of Purchase: 2012
Dwyane Wade posted this photo of his and LeBron's Porsches. LBJ also posted his own photo of him sitting on the white 911 (next to three other Porsches) in what had to be the coolest road trip of all time.
