MICHAEL JORDAN — $1.9 BILLION
The king of basketball, Michael Jordan is by far the best and the biggest basketball player in the history of the game. MJ, as he is most widely known, started playing the game since 1984 when he was chosen as an NBA draft for the Chicago Bulls. MJ entertained the crowd with his fast and high scoring, which earned him the nicknames, His Airness and Air Jordan. He played a total of 15 seasons and helped his team win 6 championships.
After his retirement, MJ became a part-owner of the Charlotte Hornets and later bought a major controlling percent of the team in 2010. With his endorsements with brands like Nike and his different business tie-ups, MJ has accumulated a net worth of $1.9 billion. Absolutely amazing right! Well, all we can say is that he proved himself as not just the greatest basketball player but also one of the best businessmen in the world.
