Michael Jordan So rich now that he is considered one of the 400 richest people in America!
Forbes That honor has just been bestowed upon the NBA legend… who reportedly sold his stake in the Charlotte Hornets earlier this summer, bringing his net worth to $3 billion.
According to the media report, Jordan is now Ranked 397th Ranked among the 400 richest people in the country…just a few spots below the WWE boss Vince McMahon.
He became the first professional athlete to make the list.
Sure, his aura brought him plenty of wealth through NBA contracts and huge endorsement deals with companies like Nike and Gatorade…but it was the sale of the Hornets that thrust him into rarefied air.
According to our reports, Jordan sell the team arrive Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnarr In June, he acquired the company for $3 billion… after initially purchasing a majority stake in the organization in 2010 for just $175 million.
Jordan still has a long way to go to climb higher on the prestigious Forbes rankings — it would take nearly $9 billion to crack the top 100 — but if we were to bet on someone who can do it… Arguably the most competitive man in sports history seems like a safe bet.
