Michael Jordan, 60, has amassed a net worth of $3 billion, according to Forbes, positioning him to be the first professional athlete on the new site’s 400 wealthiest people in America.
Forbes says it calculates the list by taking into account all types of assets, including stakes in public and private companies, real estate, art, yachts, planes, ranches, vineyards, jewelry, car collections and more.Representatives for Jordan at Jump Management, his family office, did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
Aside from the Hornets sale, Jordan has raked in billions from his Jordan Brand apparel licensing deal with Nike, which sees His Airness earning $500,000 per year plus a 5% royalty on all of Jordan Brand’s earnings. He was also granted an undisclosed equity stake in DraftKings that same year for “providing guidance and strategic advice” to the sports betting company.
Jordan is one of a kind in both his athletic ability and financial standing, as reaching billionaire status is a milestone only seven professional athletes have ever achieved, according to Forbes. Before seeing that figure surge to $3 billion, Jordan treated himself to a sprawling real estate portfolio that includes a nine-bedroom, 19-bathroom home in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park, two estates in North Carolina — where he grew up and went to college at the University of North Carolina — and another in Ski City, Utah.
