Avoid $41 million dollars in taxes? Let's say he makes $100 million dollars a year. That is 41% of his earnings. No part of a progressive tax will lowering your taxable income $41 million dollars help you save $41 million dollars. He is in the highest tax bracket. There is no saving him on his taxable income at the money he's making.

Do you even know how lowering your taxable income works? Don't spout stupid shit.

Kudos to LeBron. I'm not a fan of his, but this is straight money, homie. Helping the kids and sending the youth to college. If ya'll still hating on this, you really are a bunch of extra douche left in the bag after it hasn't been fully used.

And your point was so stupid and incorrect in the first place so the last thing you should be doing is doubling down.

He is most assuredly reducing his taxable income by the amount he donates each year.

So lets say he makes 100M and donates 8M. All that does is bring his taxable income down to 92M. So he might save 3M in taxes, but HE IS STILL GIVING AWAY 8M TO KIDS. HE IS USING HIS FAME TO HELP CHILDREN AND YOU ARE ATTEMPTING, THROUGH SHEER IDIOCY, TO SUGGEST ITS NOT A GREAT THING.

IF SATAN did this it would be a great thing and he should be applauded for it. That there is a population here that would denigrate it means no one should ever care what you think about anything ever. That's how biased you are. You are that dumb. Don't bother responding. I have added you to my ignore list. I don't want to catch stupid and I can't be bothered to continue to point out your brazen jackassery.

Bill Gate is worth 80 BILLION

LeBron is worth TOPS 2B after his Nike deal and playing career is over

LeBron just donated 40% of his next contract to charity

Even if you a scum bag illiterate loser like yourself it's hard to deny how much of a big deal this really is

Bran is ugly and stupid. Bran would be homeless if it wasn't for his God given athletic ability. Conversely Kobe scored a 1080(out of 1600) on his SAT so he would have been accepted into college even if he didn't play basketball. Bran stans probably empathize with Bran since you guys are most likely ugly and stupid like Bran. He gives you hope than an ugly and stupid man can become successful.

Yes, it helps out the people he donated to, but he basically would have donated anyway via tax dollars. The only difference is that he now has direct control over who he donates to instead of the govt deciding for him. Essentially, what I'm saying is that it's not like he would have kept that $41 million anyway...he would've lost it via taxes.
