MICHAEL JORDAN – $2.2 Billion

Michael Jordan and Quentin Tarantino may be of different sides of the industry, but Michael did dabble in acting with Space Jam. However, we all know that he became a sensation even before he played for the Chicago Bulls. As a matter of fact, Michael was already a star on the court during his high school and college years. With his skills, it’s no wonder he became the first-ever to earn $30 million per year back in the 1996 to 1997 NBA season.

Although Michael has retired from the basketball scene, he is still earning up to $100 million from various endorsements and his investments, too. How did he achieve a net worth of $2.2 billion? Well, aside from good investment planning he is also an owner of the Charlotte Hornets. Between Michael and Quentin, it is safe to say that the former is the winner in terms of earnings between the two.
