Tay-Tay remains unbeatable, even when it comes to King James. The Los Angeles Lakers’ superstar and Akron native LeBron James has been named the most influential athlete by Authority Hacker, a digital marketing company.
In general, James is ranked as the third most influential celebrity, following Taylor Swift and Elon Musk. Studies reveal that he’s searched for on Google a staggering 2.7 million times on a monthly basis. Interestingly, Mississippi is the only state where he’s the most popular search, with Ohio coming in second to Swift. However, James need not worry about his popularity or finances as being an influencer is a huge industry. He boasts a massive 158.8 million Instagram followers, which means a sponsored post on his feed could earn him around $410,000.
