Michael Jordan 2024: Net Worth| Wife| Career Earnings
Michael Jeffrey Jordan (born February 17, 1963), also known by his initials MJ, is an American businessman and former professional basketball player. He played 15 seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA) between 1984 and 2003, winning six NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls. He was integral in the popularization of basketball and the NBA around the world in the 1980s and 1990s, becoming a global cultural icon. His profile on the NBA website states, “Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time, according to accolades.”
Net Worth
Forbes estimates MJ’s net worth at $3.2 billion in 2024. The outlet states that MJ earned $90 million in salary during his NBA career.
Wife
Yvette Prieto (born March 26, 1978) is a Cuban-American model. She has modeled for designer Alexander Wang and played herself in the documentary Cuba: An Island Apart.
Career Earnings
Jordan’s career earnings pale in comparison to James’, as NBA contracts weren’t as lucrative during the Bulls star’s playing days.
According to Spotrac.com, Jordan earned a total of $93,877,500 during his 16-year NBA career. He earned $4 million or less in 14 of his 16 seasons. In those two outlier seasons, the Bulls star earned $30,140,000 and $33,140,000 respectively during the 1995-96 and 1996-97 seasons before retiring from the NBA to try his hand at Minor League Baseball.
Like James, Jordan was also worth the money the Bulls (and Wizards) spent to hire him. The Hall of Famer was a 14-time All-Star, six-time champion and NBA Finals MVP, and a five-time regular season MVP winner.
If Jordan had played in the modern NBA — especially after the league signed a 2016 TV deal that caused salaries to skyrocket — he might have rivaled LeBron’s career earnings. Still, Jordan can’t complain much, as his endorsement deals and partnerships with Nike under the Jordan Brand have allowed him to become one of the richest people in the world.
