AceShowbiz - Forbes.com has released its annual list of the 20 Top-Earning Stars Under 25. As of this year, sitting on the No. 1 spot of the list is the NBA's LeBron James, who pulled in $27 million between June 2006 to June 2007. The so-called King James, who turns 23 on December 30th, stands to make plenty more with his new four-year $60 million contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers and endorsement deals with Nike, Coca-Cola and Upper Deck.
On the 2nd spot of the list is The New Orleans Saints' Reggie Bush. The 22 years old NFL player earned $24 million in the time period, such amount of money that put him one place ahead of tennis goddess Maria Sharapova who's at No. 3 with one million less, $23 million.
Michelle Wie, meanwhile, occupies the 4th spot. The young professional golfer is reported to have raked in $19 million a year from various endorsement deals.
