Jordan Brand Has Made More From Sneakers Last Year Than Jordan's Entire NBA Career

Michael Jordan is one of the greatest NBA players, and the figures he commanded undoubtedly reflects that. He made a whopping $95 million USD during his time in the NBA, which was impressive during his time. However, despite being known best for his basketball prowess, His Airness’ bank account has something else to thank. According to an infographic by PBS, Michael Jordan’s Jordan Brand raked in close to $100 million USD last year alone — eclipsing his earnings raked in during his NBA career. Obviously he didn’t take home the entire amount, but his namesake shoes are unsurprisingly a huge force behind the huge sneaker industry. It’s no wonder star basketball players clamor for a shoe deal.
