After tearing down the fancy $36.8 million house he bought in September 2020, LeBron James has finally started building his dream home in Beverly Hills.
The NBA great finally got the go-ahead from the courts two years ago to start working on the land. Builders are rushing to the site this week to get the long-delayed project up and running.
Today, DailyMail.com got pictures that show how big the building is. The house where Katharine Hepburn lived when she was at the height of her career is now covered in mounds of dirt.
Before Howard Hughes bought the house in the 1930s, it was owned by Hollywood star Charles Boyer. Hughes then rented it to Hepburn.
After Hepburn moved out, the house was owned by regular people for a long time. That is, until 1986, when William Brent Bell and Lee Phillip Bell, the writers of The Young and the Restless, bought it for $2.9 million.
He tore down a house he bought for $36.8 million three years ago and is now building his new dream home.
The builders got to the huge piece of land this week to start work on the big house that used to be there.

James is thinking about his future in the NBA right now. On Tuesday, he posed with his wife Savannah at Paris Fashion Week.
James is building his dream home on a $36.8 million plot of land in Beverly Hills. A cement mixer shows up at the house where the building is taking place.
The huge size of the project is shown by another view of the land. Many builders are already working on it.LeBron bought the house in September 2020, but it looks like he had other ideas for the famous house. He got permission right away to tear it down, just a few years before it would have turned 100.
The land had several buildings on a huge 2.5-acre plot. James will now build his dream home on this land, showing that he plans to stay in Los Angeles after his playing career is over.It also has one of the biggest entry gates in Los Angeles to keep people out.After the Denver Nuggets beat the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA playoffs and then went on to win the title, the legendary player is now thinking about what to do next.James told reporters right after the game, “I got a lot to think about,” which was a hint that he might quit at age 38. I have a lot to think about because I am getting better at basketball.
A huge house used to stand on that land. Audrey Hepburn, the famous actress, used to live there before it was torn down.
The first house was built in the 1930s and was owned by Hollywood actor Charles Boyer. It no longer stands.
In addition to a full theater room, the old house had seven stoves spread out around the huge yard.
After Hepburn moved out, the house was owned by regular people for a long time until it was bought for $2.9 million in 1986.
“Multiple outdoor dining and entertaining areas, and a lighted tennis court with viewing pavilion” were some of the other features.
James has made it clear that he wants to own an NBA expansion team in Las Vegas when he finally drops the ball for the last time.
He said of Sin City, where he played in a preseason game last year, “It’s wonderful.” The fans are the best in the world, and I’d love to bring a team here one day. That would be great.
“I know Adam Silver is in Abu Dhabi right now, I think with the Bucks and Atlanta, but he probably reads every interview and transcript that NBA players send in, so Adam, I want the team here.”
For five years, James has played in Los Angeles, and it’s clear that he wants to stay there for a long time.
James’s son Bronny is also a rising basketball star. This year, he will go to the University of Southern California.
James has made a big promise to the city of Los Angeles by buying the land and planning to build his dream home in Beverly Hills. This is true even if his plan doesn’t come together.
He may also see his son Bronny and maybe even his second son Bryce play in the NBA in the coming years as they continue to move up the ranks.
Bronny just signed with the University of Southern California, which will keep him close to his dad’s new house that is still being built.
The house in Beverly Hills is only 10 miles away from USC, which is another reason LeBron might want to stay in town for a while.
