Savannah James commented on criticism for flying with a friend

Savannah James, the wife of famous NBA player LeBron James, spoke about her relationships with friends and the financial aspects of their friendship. In an episode of the podcast «Mental Wealth», - which aired on September 28, she noted that her friends understand her financial situation and do not expect her to pay for their trips.

Savannah shared that while traveling, she flies first class, whereas her friend and podcast co-host April Macadan opts for business class. Macadan added that they plan their trips in advance and do not act spontaneously, despite what others may think. She also mentioned that she does not feel the need to fly first class if it exceeds her budget.

The discussion of their travels drew criticism from some fans who felt that Savannah should have paid for her friend’s ticket. In response to the criticism, some social media users expressed dissatisfaction, claiming that with her financial means, Savannah should be more generous. However, former NBA player Brandon Jennings supported Savannah, stating that expecting wealthy friends to pay for tickets is a sign of greed.
