How much of that $8 million came from his own pocket?
Pointing out liberal fantasies is racist doncha know.
Lebron James’ current net worth is $440 million. I am sure the $8 million did not strain his finances too much.
And should be in debt, the Lakers have just signed him for $154 million.
Ohio taxpayers are bearing the brunt of the cost of the school at 75%.

Looks like that school LeBron James is starting up in Akron will cost LOCAL taxpayers a LOT https://thenationalsentinel.com/2018/08/08/looks-like-that-school-lebron-james-is-starting-up-in-akron-will-cost-local-taxpayers-a-lot/
Much hoopla
His part of the plan - to pay college tuition - remains to be seen
Oprah tried this and it was a disaster. She then opened a school in Africa and that seemed to work somewhat better. When Bruce Springsteen donated thousands of dollars of computers to Asbury Park schools, they were stolen within a week.
I predict LeBron is going to see the same thing.

The I Promise public school that LeBron James opened for disadvantaged youngsters in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, will eventually end up costing district taxpayers roughly $8 million each year.
Akron school district spokesman Mark Williamson said: ‘The coverage made it look like the whole thing is his. He did a lot, but taxpayers should know it’s their investment too.’
Taxpayers will foot the bill because the school is a joint effort between Akron Public Schools, which covers the daily running of the school, and LeBron’s foundation.
