3.5 billion is already getting boring. Wake me up when they’re at that zazapachillions already
Iam the richest basketball player in my street. Worth $75 of clean money. Let me repeat, clean money.

He should buy the Oakland A’s now, we all know how much he loves baseball. But like everything, there’s a downside since we know he also loves gambling and will probably hasten their move to Las Vegas.

Ballmer’s net worth fluctuates by that much on some days.

Fair. I think the greatest to ever do something as popular as basketball should be obscenely wealthy.

That’s 100 years of making $35 million a year.

I wonder how much he made for other people. MJ was the major reason the NBA blew up internationally. Every club increased in value and players starting earning more due to the increased popularity of the league.

For how long though?

Its crazy how rich MJ is and his wealth isnt from playinf basketball for the most part
Made only like 100M gross (40-50M after taxes, a)gent fees etc
He is now worth 3.5B via his jordan brand and huge gain on sale of the hornets
Lebron if he follows suit likely will be richer from his off court endeavors then his NBA contracts (though he probably still makes ~400M from his contracts)
No matter how legandary you are at a sport, your a peon compared to your boss who owns the business/operations.
Got to use your fame and stsrt up wealth to become an owner/investor

Deserved.. heck it probably should be more. The NBA is what it is today thanks to him. Crazy how one athlete in a sports team can affect so much not only the future revenue of a league, but also the multiple generations of stars that graced the game after him. As basketball fans, we should all be eternally grateful.

Dammit, he beat me out by only two factors.
