- Michael Jordan made less than $100 million as the NBA's greatest player of all time, but is now a member of Forbes' list of billionaires with an estimated net worth of $1.9 billion.
- He's also the highest-paid athlete of all time.
- Since Jordan retired in 2003, he has built the most successful and lucrative career we've ever seen from a former athlete.
- He's been known as a highly competitive person, both on and off the court, and has faced his fair share of legal battles.
- From sprawling houses to custom planes and his own golf course, he's clearly enjoying life after hoops.
Jordan still makes more money than LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, or any other active player.
As of 2015, he was reportedly making $100 million a year from Nike royalties alone.

And his income now is way more than his total playing salary during his career. He earned $90 million total in NBA salary, and about $63 million of that came in his final two seasons with the Chicago Bulls.
