LeBron James Buys Beverly Hills Mansion for $36 Mil from Soap Opera Legend

The previous owner is soap opera royalty — Lee Phillip Bell — who co-created two of the most iconic soaps in history … “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “The Young & The Restless.”

Bell passed away earlier this year at the age of 91 and her estate put the 2.5-acre property up on the market to see if any rich people wanted it, asking $39 mil. The listing was held by Richard Hilton and Jeff Hyland of Hilton & Hyland.

Fun fact — LeBron made roughly $37 million this season just from his NBA contract with the Los Angeles Lakers alone.
