Michael Jordan
The NBA’s greatest player of all time has an estimated net worth of $1.65 billion thanks to lucrative deals and the value of the Jordan Brand, a $1 billion (sales) sportswear partnership with Nike. Jordan is the majority shareholder of Charlotte Bobcats and has other deals with the likes of Upper Deck, Gatorade and Hanes. Since retiring 15 years ago, the NBA legend has made a name for himself as one of the richest black people, owning magnificent houses, custom planes and his own golf course.
