The Jordan Family – $1.9 Billion
Michael Jordan rose to prominence in the ’90s as the breakout star of the Chicago Bulls NBA team at the time. Unsurprisingly, his massive success on the court led him into plenty of successful economic ventures off the court. Multi-year endorsements with the likes of Gatorade, Nike, and Hanes, some of which are still ongoing, as well as his Air Jordans line, have made the star a billionaire.
In addition to his endorsement deals, Jordan now makes a passive income thanks to his stake in the Charlotte Hornets team. While they might not be enjoying the same success as Jordan’s Bulls, they still put plenty in the former NBA star’s pockets.
