So he didn’t make the top 10, but he’s on there so it counts.

Two isn’t a winner and three, nobody remembers, right? At least that’s what Nelly said. Well it’s Michael Jordan and even though he ranked #1,741 on Forbes list of richest Billionaires, it’s the NBA great’s first time making said list. He didn’t make the top 10 but he’s on the list and I’m sure anyone would be happy with such an accomplishment. Thanks to all you sneaker heads, Jordan fanatics or what have you, you’re most likely the cause of why Jordan made the list.

CNN Money reported that  the Jordan Brand reeled in a whopping estimated $2.5 billion last year which for Jordan, made his net worth $90 million. But that isn’t what quite tipped the scale. It was actually Jordan’s ownership of the Charlotte Hornets (roughly worth $700 million today)  that skyrocketed him to an estimated  net worth of $1 billion.

As if we didn’t already know and if you were the least bit interested to know who took the number 1 spot, Bill Gates  who’s worth an estimated 396,000,000 pairs of Jordans or $79.2 billion.
