sadly, if well managed a celebrity life will be more productive than a athlete.
your body have a very limited time of being productive as a athlete.
just check past olimpics glorys and some celebritys from 20 / 30 years ago

Celebrities probably have longer carriers than athletes. Except if they keep dying of sex, drugs, or other celebrity kind of deaths. So I would say the longer the carrier, the wealthier they are. Super bonus when they're athletes and celebrities... mmm OJ ?! ... ....

makes sense to say then that celebrity $ x career timeline > athlete $ x career timeline. as long as career timeline of celebrity is long and can be milked

Many athletes are celebrities.

James doesn't get a cut of Heat profits. Bieber has a hit album, hit film, hit fragrance and is a venture capitalist.

the tale of the twitter tape:
Bieber: 22.2 milli
James: 4.5 milli

lets say LBJ plays for 10 more years - his worth will slip a little bit then takes a hit once career is over.
I can see JB still making more and more over next 20 years no?

The NBA has restrictions on wise investments. I believe they encourage contracted athletes to spend most of their income.
