LeBron James is not only king of the court, but also of the fast-food universe.
The Cleveland Cavaliers superstar has been an investor in Blaze Pizza since 2012, according to Food & Wine. The franchise of pizzerias originated in Southern California, and recently became the fastest-growing restaurant chain in history. In just two years, Blaze went from a two-restaurant operation to a 200-strong behemoth.
James is not only an investor, but also a franchisee, which he became in 2013. He also actively promotes the business on his social handles—and recorded a viral video for Blaze last April.
