Michael Jordan
As you might already know by now, Michael Jordan is more than just another basketball player. This legend has an incredible net worth of $2.1 billion! Of that, only $1.7 billion came from his time on the paint. Now retired, he has brought it up thanks to his business pursuits. He is now the principal owner of the Charlotte Hornets and a co-owner of an automotive company. When he is not busy with those endeavors, he runs several restaurants. This includes a steakhouse in Grand Central. We are sure that you remember his Hanesbrands commercials as well! It feels like anything that he touches turns to gold.
Charles Barkley
Well, there is a good reason Charles Barkley is called “the Round Mound of Rebound.” He enjoyed a great career in the NBA until he retired in 2000. Best known for his skills as a power forward, he intimidated even the best players in the league. It is not surprising to learn that he was a part of the US basketball team. Many people consider him one of the best players to join the NBA. Mind you, he has two Olympic gold medals to his name! As a player, he brought in $43.6 million. However, he did not leave the industry for good as he went on to be an NBA analyst after that.
