Michael Jordan becomes first athlete to crack Forbes list of richest people
Michael Jordan is now the first athlete to crack Forbes list of the 400 richest people in the United States.
CHICAGO - Michael Jordan is now the first athlete to crack Forbes' list of the 400 richest people in the United States.
His net worth is now over $3 billion.
Jordan retired from the NBA decades ago, but has a number of lucrative endorsement deals, earning nearly $2.5 billion from Nike, Gatorade, McDonald's and more.
What put him over the top, apparently, was selling some of his stake in the Charlotte Hornets.
