Like we’re not delusional to that. And I think Savannah has accommodated where I’m at”She added, “If we’re going on the same trip, I don’t feel the need to be in first [class] because that’s not in my budget..”The former Los Angeles Lakers’ icon LeBron James’ wife Savannah James’ comments have sparked major concern.A fan took to X and wrote, “Obviously she’s not entitled to her or LeBron's money and she’s now owed anything. That being said, if I had all that money, basically infinite money I’d make sure my friends could fly to same standards as me. A few extra hundred dollars isn’t going to affect their money.”Another fan posted, “If we have been friends since kindergarten we are not flying in different spaces, but if you are just work buddies or not close then yes we fly separately between first and business.”A third fan wrote, “It’s given that’s not her money. Girlfriends don’t do that. We do budget together or we do first class together. We don’t do separate. He handles all the money that’s bullshit.”Another fan posted, “I feel like Savannah might not have access to the funds like we think she does because your whole ass husband is LeBron James. What do you mean you’re not even offering to pay for your lifelong bestie to fly first class with you?”A fifth fan noted, “She just contradicted herself. If you don’t feel the need to be in first then you don’t deserve the privilege to get out of your business class seat and watch a movie in a 1st class bed.”However, neither the four time NBA champion LeBron James nor his wife, Savannah James, has responded to the speculations.Stay updated with the latest Asian Games 2026 news, check the Asian Games medal tally and complete Asian Games schedule.Get the latest Sports News and Live updates.
