Reports YBF:
We love folks with talent…and we love even more folks who know how to flip their talent umpteen ways.
LeBron James has spoken before about wanting to become a billionaire. So now that he’s the most visible & respected face currently in the NBA, he took advantage of the opportunity to meet with one of the richest men in the world. And likely got some good advice and/or struck a business deal or two.
He posted the above image saying:
Just finished a great dinner with Carlos Slim and his family! Wonderful folks. See u guys again soon #PowerMoves #GoogleHimIfYouDontKnow #ThisGameofBasketballHasOpenedDoorsThatMasterKeysCantOpen #BuffettSlimJames #Big3 #ImThe3rdOptionButIBringTheStyleAndSwag
Here’s what else we know: Mr. Slim, the Mexican billionaire who goes back and forth with Bill Gates for the richest man in the world title, owns the América Móvil telecommunicatons company. He put $60 million into a separately existing project called Mobli, which is said to be the super popular Israeli competitior to Instagram. Mobli has signed on plenty of celebrity endorsements. is now focusing on the mobile app version of the project and is expanding with Latin American users. And last month, Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted wining and dining with Carlos as well, and reportedly invested a few millions. We hear Serena Williams did as well.
Tech Crunch describes Mobli as:
Originally launched in 2011, Mobli is a sort of ‘Instagram on uppers’ allowing users to connect around common interests via other users, hashtags and locations in their feed. Is has a lot of features that latter app does not.
Unlike Instagram, when a user wants to post a photo, the Mobli app immediately offers the latest three images added to the gallery. No need to click into it to select which is very convenient.
So, we’ve got to wonder….is Bron Bron about to throw his hat into the multimillion dollar Mobli ring?
Time and cash flow will tell…
