Even though it’s just January, LeBron James is already vying for the coveted ‘Son of the Year’ honor. His mother’s birthday isn’t until the end of next week, but he’s already surprised her with a lavish birthday gift so extravagant that the rest of us couldn’t compete.
Almost everything LeBron James does is dissected by the media, whether it’s positive, negative, or neutral. So I decided we could at least thank LeBron for being such a wonderful son today.
We all know that LeBron James is a fantastic gift giver. Steph Curry recently revealed that LeBron James gave him a signed Cavs jersey when he was still in high school. And it’s still hanging in Curry’s childhood bedroom.
LeBron James has earned a total of $387,384,119 in his basketball career. His net worth is reported to be between $500 million and $700 million. So, what does a man of such means get his mother for her birthday? A fresh new Mercedes-Benz G Wagon, one of the most insane SUVs ever created.
LeBron James gave his mother one of the best birthday gifts ever.
On February 4th, Gloria James will turn 54 years old. Nobody expects to receive a beautiful new Mercedes-Benz G Wagon more than a week before their birthday. By giving it to her so many days in advance, LeBron obviously pulled off a successful surprise. Excellent work.
Gloria shared those photos of her new G Wagon from Bron on Instagram and down in the comments everyone shared adulation for the incredible gesture. Her caption reads “Thank you my caring and giving son, @kingjames, for my early surprise birthday gift! You’re always thinking of and doing things to help make my life easier and make me happy. Love you infinity ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
Gloria James, LeBron’s mother, was so happy about her new G-Wagon that he was hopping in the comments on Instagram to communicate with random people. Someone commented, “exactly what I want to do for my father one day.” I know it wasn’t easy for him to be a single father!’ Gloria answered, ‘That’s fantastic that you want to take care of your father. But I have a sense he does and will always adore you.’ Parents are wonderful, aren’t they? Also, can we take a moment to acknowledge that LeBron’s mother has 102K Instagram followers?!
What did LeBron James spend on his mother’s G-Wagon birthday present?
It’s unclear how much LeBron paid for his mother’s new G-Wagon, but the 2021 G 550 starts at $131,600 and the AMG G-63 Wagon starts at $157,750, with prices rising significantly with options. This year, the G-550 starts at $133,250, and the G 63 Wagon starts at $159,000.
The G-Wagon is not only one of the most stylish SUVs ever created, but it is also one of the fastest. Mercedes-Benz G Wagons in 2022 have a top speed of 149 MPH, up from 137 MPH in prior years. This year’s G 63 can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds thanks to a 9-speed automated engine producing 577 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque. It’s a BEAST of a car that I’ve always wanted to possess one day.
