Despite Earning $2,975,000,000 Profit, Michael Jordan’s Extortionate Net Worth Remains 6x Lesser Than Another Active Athlete

Michael Jordan just sold his majority ownership share in the Charlotte Hornets, according to recent reporting. His dismal history with the franchise is not the breaking news. In spite of his team's lack of success throughout his tenure, MJ still succeeded. He reportedly received $3 billion for his interest when he sold it, netting him more than $2,500,000,000. The transaction was historic for his net worth, which immediately soared. It took Nike 40 years to repay Jordan in billions. But in a matter of minutes, this one sale made it happen.

Michael Jordan is nowhere close to the richest athlete

After he sold his Hornets stock, Jordan's net worth allegedly reached about $3.5 billion. In terms of return on investment, the six-time winner initially purchased the team for less than $300 million.

But when compared to the athlete with the highest net worth, his figures are pitiful. Former Chelsea player Faiq Bolkiah is a well-known football club from West London. 

But unlike MJ, his professional career never took off quite as much.  Actually, he is the heir to the Sultan of Brunei. The 25-year-old is nearly six times as wealthy as Michael Jordan, with a net worth of $16 billion.

Faiq Bolkiah is on another level

Heading 3

Faiq Bolkiah makes the wealth of any athlete—not just Michael Jordan—look insignificant. According to Daily player, the football player will inherit a $30 billion fortune from the Sultan of Brunei, one of the richest people in the world.
