Michael Jordan Is Now The Richest Basketball Player Ever!

According to a recent Bloomberg report, NBA icon Michael Jordan’s net worth currently sits at $3.5 billion, the largest fortune any athlete within the organization has earned. This is attributed to a licensing deal with Nike the recent sale of his majority stake in the NBA’s Charlotte Hornets, and other major investments. According to a report from The Street, Jordan earns about $255 million every year from the Nike deal, which dates back to 1984 when Jordan’s career arc started ascending with the Chicago Bulls.
