Micheal Jordan has been at the top of the NBA world for a long time. He came into the league and exploded immediately into one of its biggest stars, scoring at an almost unprecedented level and changing the game in a lot of ways. In doing so, Jordan managed to accrue incredible wealth, especially thanks to his relationship with Nike, who also profited heavily off the MJ connection.
Having eventually become a billionaire, it’s safe to say that Jordan has not lacked money at all in his adult life. The GOAT was earning $30 million for a couple of seasons back in the 90s when entire NBA rosters sometimes didn’t make as much. And the wealth resulted in a lifestyle upgrade, it’s safe to say that MJ enjoyed the finer things in life.
Jordan’s love for gambling is well known, there are stories of him placing large bets on several competitive activities. MJ is an avid golfer, and he has one of the finest car collections of any NBA player. Even now, he can randomly be seen driving around in a Ferrari while smoking a cigar. But it seems he is now indulging in activities that could be considered normal thanks to a very special reason.
John Salley Explained That Michael Jordan’s Wife Yvette Prieto Gets Him To Do Some ‘Normal Stuff’
MJ married his current wife, Yvette Prieto, in 2013, and the couple has children together. MJ and Prieto have been spotted in the past vacationing, with the NBA legend being spotted with his customary cigar walking around in exotic destinations.
