Jordan Earns 100 Million 2014

Forbes reports that Michael Jordan earned $100 million from the sales of Jordan Brand product in 2014 alone. That figure is more than every dollar he ever earned as an NBA player, which was $94 million through fifteen NBA seasons. Of course, without said career, Jordan Brand wouldn’t exist, and NBA salaries didn’t reach egregious figures like they do today. It does make you lose your breath for a second when you consider MJ’s take from Jordans last year, and if you thought $94 million in fifteen seasons is a small number, remember that he made roughly $63 million in has last two seasons with the Chicago Bulls alone. Jordan Brand’s profits will likely continue its rise considering the new athletes and future plans, so expect MJ’s value to easily climb the ranks of fellow billionaires.
