LeBron James Makes Demand After $22 Million Private Jet Claim

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James addressed a recent social media post that made a claim about an alleged personal asset of his.

James has a net worth of $1.2 billion, according to Forbes, so it's no surprise for him to own several assets and other luxury items. That said, when a ClutchPoints post on Instagram claimed that he owns a private jet—a Gulfstream G280 that is reportedly worth $22 million—it wasn’t exactly shocking.

Besides, the post claimed that other NBA legends like Shaquille O'Neal, Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan have their own private jets as well.

After James saw the post, though, he said it's "cap" (which is a slang term that means lie or a false statement). On his Instagram Stories, he also shared the post and demanded that his name be removed from the list.

"Take me off this list!" James wrote after using a cap emoji to refute the claim.

Interestingly, LeBron James' demand was quickly fulfilled. After his Instagram Stories message, the post has since been edited, with the slide featuring his photo and information about his alleged jet removed. However, he was still in the main photo of the post at the time of writing.
