(Bleacher Report) – Michael Jordan made a lot of money in his NBA career. His signature brand Nike shoes have made him a lot more money, however.
And that was just in 2014.
According to an infographic by Lisa Overton that appeared on PBS.org, “Jordan made more money selling sneakers ($100 million) than he did during his entire 15-year career ($94 million)” in 2014, making him the “highest-paid retired athlete in the world last year.”
