Michael Jordan – $1.9 Billion

Michael Jordan is perhaps the most famous basketball player in the world. He is credited for being instrumental in the sport’s popularization and is often considered the best player ever. Out of his fifteen-year-long career, he spent thirteen years playing for the Chicago Bulls NBA team and won six championships with them. Jordan retired in 2003 and is now the owner of the Charlotte Hornets. His fortune is set at $1.9 billion, and he has his own shoe line and other entrepreneurial exploits.
