Michael Jordan is a rich man… very rich! So rich, moreover, that it is very difficult for the common man to understand the extent of his fortune. To contextualize this, a media outlet released a crazy statistic on the bank account of the legend of the Bulls.
Michael Jordan is considered by the majority of fans to be the best player in NBA history, a status that can only be challenged by one LeBron James whose prize list is not yet sufficiently provided to fully support the comparison. But that’s not all, as GOAT is also the owner of one of the league’s most promising teams, proof that his influence is still immense.
And then incidentally, even though he was playing at a time when contracts were “reasonable”, MJ is the richest player of all time! It does not owe this prestigious status to the sums offered by the Bulls at the time, but to its numerous partnerships and investments. He is the head of a huge empire with the sale of his shoes, and as long as Jordan models are in fashion, he will continue to accumulate millions …
Michael Jordan: a colossal fortune at 58
Despite its many donations to help the African-American community in North Carolina, Michael Jordan is confident enough of his fortune to charter luxury yachts for over $ 1 million per week, that is to say !
