Michael Jordan of Nike, $2.8 Billion

Basketball Forever

Michael Jordan is definitely considered the basketball player of all time. With such talent, he didn’t need money from commercials. His talent took care of his finances. However, his appearances and deals with Nike for the Air Jordan shoes gave him a lot of retirement funds. According to Forbes, the shoes’ revenues were at least $2.8 billion by the end of the 2016 fiscal year. Even if he only got a portion, you can only imagine the amount he made. This had become so popular that at some point during the peak of its popularity, “shoe-jackings” had been quite common.
