Michael Jordan | Net Worth: $2.2 Billion

When it comes to basketball, arguably, Michael Jordan is one of the greatest players who have played the game. During his professional basketball career in the NBA, he became the first athlete in history to earn more than $30 million per year in salary, which was in the course of the 1996-97 season. In total, Jordan raked in $93.7 million in salary throughout his profession. In nearly two decades since his retirement from the sport, His Airness still earns $100 million every year from endorsements and other business ventures, of which $60 million comes from Nike/Jordan brand royalties.

As you’d expect from a billionaire like Jordan, he has owned a number of expensive properties. One of his latest acquisitions was a boat that cost $80 million, which he purchased back in 2019, and it was parked next to another fishing boat, Catch 23, with a price tag of $8 million—so much for opulence.
