World’s Billionaires List

For the first time, Jordan makes it onto Forbes’s list of the world’s billionaires.  His net worth is estimated to be around $1 billion. It is assumed that Jordan makes more than $100 million a year off royalties from his Nike Air Jordan line, though those numbers have never been confirmed. Jordan’s stake in the Charlotte Hornets is currently at 90 percent. Forbes estimates the team is worth more than $700 million.
