Full story

Michael Jordan, an NBA superstar best known for smashing records and winning championships, has just broken another, this time off the court. Jordan, 60, has become the first professional athlete to earn a place in the Forbes 400, with a net worth of $3 billion, according to Forbes.

The hall of famer, showcasing his success off the court, has been a billionaire since 2014, and with the recent sale of the Charlotte Hornets for $3 billion, Jordan finds himself on the list of the wealthiest Americans.

At the top of the list is Tesla CEO and Space X founder Elon Musk worth $251 billion, followed by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos worth $161 billion. According to Forbes, Jordan, No. 379 on the list, just made the cut as the minimum amount needed to be on the list is $2.9 billion.

Jordan is among just two other professional athletes worth at least $1 billion, Tiger Woods and LeBron James.

While Jordan amassed fame and millions while playing 15 seasons in the NBA, the majority of his fortune has been earned off the court. Forbes estimates Jordan has made $2.4 billion pre-tax in deals with McDonalds, Gatorade and Nike. Jordan’s latest royalty check with Nike was for $260 million.
