The 76ers are paying LeBron James roughly $4 million a year. Philadelphia is getting up to $430 million back.
His first season with the 76ers is projected to generate $250 million to $430 million in regional economic activity, per The Boyd Company. That covers everything from ticket sales and tourism to bar tabs and merch within the Philly metro.
For context, the midpoint of that range is larger than the annual revenue of most publicly traded small caps. One 41-year-old athlete moving cities carries the economic weight of an entire company relocating its headquarters.
The lesson for anyone tracking where money flows: superstars function as their own economies, and cities are the shareholders.
