NBA superstar (and Samsung spokesman) LeBron James nets $30 million
from Apple’s acquisition of Beats
LBJ從蘋果收購案賺了3000萬美元
Even though his team is down a game in the NBA Championship series against
the San Antonio Spurs, athlete LeBron James does have something new to smile
about. As part of Apple’s $3 billion acquisition of Beats Electronics and
Beats Music, James is due to net a profit of $30 million:
雖然他的球隊被馬刺電爆了，詹姆斯從蘋果收購案淨賺了三千萬美元（十億台幣）
In a recent example, while James was leading the Heat to a victory over
the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals, sources say the
29-year-old was finalizing what is believed to be the biggest equity cash
payout for a professional athlete in history as part of Apple’s recent
$3 billion purchase of Beats Electronics. Sources briefed on the situation
say James realized a profit of more than $30 million in cash and stock in
the Beats sale after he had struck a deal to get a small stake in the
company at its inception in 2008 in exchange for promoting its
high-end headphones.
詹姆斯獲得職業運動史上最高的一次性現金收益。其收益來自於2008年答應為beat
代言時所獲得的股票
This $30 million comes from James’ stake in Beats, which he acquired
in 2008 as part of him promoting the Beats line of headphones (as seen
in the above image with Dr. Dre). Today’s report comes in light of the
Miami Heat seeking to add superstar Carmelo Anthony to its roster
during this upcoming NBA offseason. As part of signing Anthony, James
would need to take a salary cut, and James is looking at new off-the-court
business initiatives (like the Apple/Beats deal) to make up for that lost
income.
熱火季後準備追逐安東尼組四巨頭。詹姆斯必須要被迫減薪，所以他現在正在尋找
其它的業外收入（如蘋果beat收購案）來補足他失去的薪水
According to ESPN, this payout results in the biggest payout of its kind
for an athlete.
這是史上對單一運動員的最大現金支付
It is unclear if James will continue to work with Beats following the
closing of the Apple acquisition. James is well-known to be the top
spokesperson for Apple’s main rival, Samsung. This is not Apple’s
first connection to a top NBA player. A couple of weeks ago, we broke
the news about a meeting between LA Lakers guard Kobe Bryant and Apple
design chief Jony Ive at Apple’s Cupertino campus. It is unclear what
the Bryant/Ive meeting was in regard to, but we speculate that perhaps
Apple is lining up some sports sponsorship partnerships for its
upcoming push into the health and fitness arena.
身為三星的主要代言人，目前不清楚詹姆斯是否會繼續和beat合作。但這並不是
蘋果第一次和NBA球星合作。幾個星期前，蘋果神主牌首席設計師艾夫和kobe見面。
目前不清楚艾夫和kobe見面的目的，很有可能是為了將來iOS 8中的健身功能做推廣

某家之前用三億美元買下beat的公司表示：
哼～當初我不賣的話淨賺十二億呢！三千萬算啥！
