A golfer with a $60 million fortune may have left MJ’s devoted fans feeling envious. After the auction of his remarkable golf memorabilia, the 47-year-old showcased a valuable memento of the legacy of Michael Jordan. Every admirer of Mike’s career dreams of possessing at least one item from his illustrious journey.

Ian Poulter, a golfer associated with LIV, has acquired a high-value Jordan card. He also shared a photograph of it with his followers.

Ian Poulter’s expensive Michael Jordan acquisition

The Ryder Cup icon is an avid collector of sports memorabilia. Recently, he shared an update on his Instagram about one of his incredible, new acquisitions. The British golfer wrote, “@josuajamespoulter and I popped along to a local card show and picked up a couple of fun cards. A Merlin Arsenal Team Badge from 1995. And a Fleer Michael Jordan Rookie 1986 card.”  

Undoubtedly, it’s the coolest and most coveted possession. He captured a photo of both cards and shared it on his Instagram story.

Nearly every Jordan card commands a high price, especially since 2019 when prices of memorabilia began to skyrocket.

For instance, Jordan’s Fleer ’86 card was auctioned off for $8,000 over a decade ago, but in today’s market, it could easily fetch anywhere above $40,000, with the highest estimate being a safe bet. Some of these cards have even set records with astonishing sales at auctions.

As many fans would likely agree, the price tag probably might have not come as a surprise to the golfer. After all, he added a substantial $30,000,000 to his wealth just last year. But at a different cost. 

Ian Poulter’s blockbuster earnings from LIV

In 2022, the English golfer became a part of LIV, defecting from the PGA.

While this led Poulter to face a good deal of scrutiny, this move is estimated to have made him $30 million. For the first season, he didn’t achieve a great victory and fell short of securing a spot in the top ten.

On the other hand his team, ‘Majestic GC,’ managed to secure a couple of third-place finishes, bolstering the golfer’s earnings by an additional $3,03,333. More for him to spend on his incredible card collection.
