Jordan's net worth is 3.8 billion dollars. If it were evenly distributed among 342 million people in the U.S., each person would only get 11 dollars.



How outrageous is this guy's wealth? He earned 90 million in 15 years of his NBA career, but the real money comes from —
✓ Air Jordan shoe line (still receiving tens of millions in royalties every year)
✓ Acquired minority stake in the Hornets in 2010 → Sold in 2019 with a valuation of 1.5 billion → Exited completely in 2023 with a valuation of 3 billion
✓ Also invested in NASCAR teams, tequila brands, DraftKings, etc.

In other words, the real value is being created off the court. The big chunk of the 3.8 billion comes from team trades, not from playing the game. That's why Jordan is the only former NBA player to become a billionaire—while others are earning salaries, he is acting as an investor.
