Michael Jordan, considered by many to be the best player in basketball history, broke many barriers during his career. And he doesn’t intend to stop there. At the end of 2023, MJ became the first athlete to join the Forbes ranking of the 400 greatest American fortunes.
3 billion dollars. This is how much Michael Jordan weighs today.
With the recent sale of the Charlotte Hornets, of which he was the majority owner, Jojo has exploded his personal fortune. Between his enormous income linked to Jordan Brand (Nike), the millions of dollars he amassed as an NBA superstar and major figure in sports marketing (with brands like Gatorade, Haynes, McDonald’s…), and the large profit made through this sale of the Hornets (nearly 2.7 billion), Jordan is today ranked 379th among the greatest US fortunes according to Forbes.

Never before has a former professional athlete had a place in the Forbes Top 400. Further proof, if any were still needed, that Michael Jordan was definitely not an athlete like any other.
“Michael is one of the few people who has done it three times. Many entrepreneurs only succeed once. They win a big victory, pocket their winnings, retire and are never heard from again, or they try something a second time and it doesn’t work. He had three great successes (as a player, as an owner financially, and in marketing with Nike). »
