Savannah James says LeBron James gave her gentle reality check despite her modest spending habits

Savannah James said her husband, LeBron James, once gave her a gentle reality check about her spending habits. On Tuesday's episode of the podcast “Everybody's Crazy,” Savannah said that while she’s not a heavy spender, she’s also not prudent regarding money. She added that there was a time the LA Lakers forward told her to relax when she went above and beyond.

“First of all, I don’t spend money,” Savannah said. [Timestamp: 8:02]. “I’m not frugal by any means, but I feel like I’m very aware, like when shit is getting out of hand. I was actually told by my husband from a meeting that he had that I actually need to relax.

"I don't think I ever get to a point of doing too much. I feel like I'm very good at spreading out and only doing things that are necessary."

Savannah has previously admitted to having weaknesses when it comes to spending, with LeBron James reportedly offering budgeting advice in private conversations.

Her public profile now includes business ownership. Savannah founded Reframe Beauty and has other ventures, from mentoring to owning a podcast.

Savannah James shares how she’s able to manage her family and business

Savannah James, in 2020, spoke to Essence about how she has managed her family alongside her business ventures.

“There’s always a fear for moms if they are as present with the kids as much as they think they should be," she said. "You should never have a fear of doing what you really aspire to do or what you’re passionate about. … You can prioritize and keep the balance. I have a good time with my kids.”

Savannah has built a reputation for balancing multiple roles. She launched “The Juice Spot”, a cold-pressed juice bar, in Miami in 2013. She later closed it when the family moved back to Cleveland. She also co-founded K+ Organics, aimed at making healthier choices more accessible for young athletes.

Another business founded by her is “Home Court,” a furniture line oriented toward family-friendly design. More recently, she has entered the media space with her podcast, "Everybody’s Crazy."

LeBron previously said that Savannah is “the boss” at home, especially when he’s away. She helps set rules and maintain stability for their children. Though being married to a superstar like James has put her in the public eye, Savannah James has said she values privacy.
