Entrepreneurial Savannah James has been involved in several ventures over the years. According to Sportskeeda, the 37-year-old previously worked as an interior designer and launched a furniture line called “Home Court by LeBron James” in collaboration with Ohioan furniture company American Signature in 2010. She also ran a juice bar in Florida called The Juice Spot before the couple returned to Ohio in 2016, per the outlet. On screen, she appeared in two episodes of reality show The Rehab Addict in 2014, per IMDb.

According to People magazine, she is also a philanthropist who launched the mentorship programme Women of Our Future in 2017. “I’m still a very private person,” she told Cleveland Magazine that year. “But these things reflect the passion that I have as far as giving back, the philanthropic part of me. So with those things, I don’t mind stepping out.”

Although her NBA superstar husband is a household name, Savannah has said that fame isn’t really for her. In a previous interview with Harper’s Bazaar, she said she found celebrity to be a strange concept. “I’ve always been in the background. Now that magazines and the paparazzi are taking pictures of me, it’s kind of weird. I never thought it would get to this magnitude, but clearly I was mistaken,” she told the publication.
