The great Michael Jordan has it all. Trophies, successful businesses, and more than a billion dollars in his pocket. But in September 2020, he became the very owner of a NASCAR team called 23XI Racing. Throughout his career in the NBA, Jordan wrestled with the idea of investing in stock car racing.

Now that it’s about to be more than a year since he fulfilled this lifelong dream, how much success has he seen? How much rich is his NASCAR team? Let’s find out.

As the name depicts, the number 23 refers to Jordan’s jersey number during his time in the NBA. The XI, as everyone knows is synonymous with the co-owner of this team, Denny Hamlin. The Chicago Bulls legend is the majority owner of the team and there is a possibility of another partner in the future, but seems unlikely.
The driver of MJ’s team is Bubba Wallace, who is a renowned name in the sport. Although he hasn’t won the NASCAR Cup series, the chances of it in the future are quite high considering the equipment this team gets. 23XI has bagged Toyota for the preparation of the car. Apart from building the engine, they also provide technical assistance.
