The Fabulous Life Of Michael Jordan: How The Best Player Ever Spends His $650 Million

Aug 20, 2017, 15:12 IST

10 years after he retired, Michael Jordan still makes $80 million

Ironically, that's way more than he made in salary while he played. He made ~$90 million TOTAL in NBA salary

His net worth is $650 million, thanks to a bevy of endorsement deals

Nike royalties alone earn him $60 million per year. Here's how he spends it...

He bought the Charlotte Bobcats for $175 million in 2010

He has a private jet. It's painted Carolina blue, and the ID number contains his jersey number (23) and number of titles (6)

He spent $12.8 million building his dream house in Florida, and it's almost finished

He recently dropped $2.8 million on an AWESOME house near Charlotte, so he can be around his team

He bought the house from the bank, so it's way nicer than the price tag indicates

He's frugal with his real estate, though. Last year he sold his lavish Chicago mansion for $29 million

He travels with a security team when he goes overseas. His secret codename is "Yahweh," a Hebrew word for God

He rents out this 154-foot megayacht called Mr. Terrible

It's one of the most lavish yachts on Earth

Beyond money, MJ is currently engaged to model Yvette Prieto

He works out, and is currently trying to get down to 218 pounds

He's also really good at Bejeweled. He beat level 100 and became a Bejeweled Demigod according to ESPN

His other hobby: He plays a ton of golf

But at age 50, he is far from retired. His newest Nike sneakers, the Jordan XX8 (28!) just came out

And he's trying to turn around the Bobcats, who are the worst team in the league

He'll be in our lives (and still making money) for decades to come

How does he compare with a current NBA legend
