Lebron James Net Worth vs. Klay Thompson Salary: Offcourt, Who Has Nicer Home?

Game 1 of the NBA finals has pitted the Cleveland Cavaliers of former MVP LeBron James against Golden State Warriors' all-star guard Klay Thompson. Besides their NBA teams though, the two also have impressive homes that are worth comparing, according to a report from zillow.com.

LeBron James' former home in Miami is a 12,178-square-foot mansion with an adjoining guest house. Among the amenities of the home are a rooftop upper deck, a harbor for two 60-foot yachts, six bedrooms, 8.5 baths, elevator and a home theater. There is also a large lounge area to laze around or have guests over. With LeBron's net worth over $270 million, according to celebritynetworth.com, a $2 million discount from the house's original listing price of $15 million would probablly not be much of an issue.

On the other hand, Klay Thompson recently acquired property in Orange County, California. It is also near the water and has a Spanish villa theme. The home measures a total of 2,433 square feet and sits in a compound that has a private courtyard with swimming pool and a spa area. The whole property is measured at about a third of an acre and has a 100-foot wide patio that fronts the Pacific Ocean. There are two guest casitas as well as a wet bar. 

Moreover, Thompson's house has three bedrooms and three and a half baths. The master suite has his and hers bathrooms with ocean views. Such house with lavish amenities is definitely for the young NBA player, whose reported net worth is $4.3 million, according to therichest.com.

Now the question is, whose home is better? The Miami suburb home with the flashing lights in the pool and a roofdeck view of the ocean or the Orange County quiet Spanish villa with the Pacific Ocean right outside the outdoor viewdeck? You decide.
