Austin Reaves is climbing the ladder of success with an incredible performance with the Los Angeles Lakers. When it comes to his financial portfolio, he has amassed a net worth of $4 million over the years. The up-and-coming athlete is known to manage money well and strays from unnecessary spendings. As a result, he does not own a lavish collection of cars or mansions. When asked about a teammate from Lakers who's financial advice he would take, he mentioned LeBron James. He also opened up about Dwayne Wade calling the sports legend 'cheap' when it came to unnecessary spendings.

He sends me a text before he leaves for the boat, because there won't be no WiFi signal out there." Wade and
LeBron James attended Rachel Nichols interview where the statement made by Wade was addressed. To this James replied, "That is so, so, so, so false...ly true. That is so falsely true. I'm not turning on data roaming. I'm not buying no apps. I still got Pandora with commercials."
