Michael Jordan is ten years removed from the NBA and he still out-earns all of the world’s highest paid athletes.

Jordan earned an estimated $80 million last year from corporate partners Nike, Gatorade, Hanes, Upper Deck, 2K Sports, Presbyterian Healthcare and Five Star Fragrances. Other Jordan assets include six restaurants, a North Carolina car dealership, a motorsports team and his 80% stake in the Charlotte Bobcats.

The Jordan Brand, a division of Nike, is responsible for the vast majority of MJ’s earnings. Jordan partnered with Nike after being drafted by the Bulls out of North Carolina in 1984. The original five-year deal was worth $500,000 annually, plus royalties. The terms of Jordan’s current deal with Nike are a closely guarded secret, but royalties now generate more than $60 million annually for MJ, according to sources.

Nearly 30 years later, the brand is still a marketing juggernaut. It controlled 58% of the U.S. basketball shoe market in 2012, according to research firm SportsOneSource. The Jordan Brand’s parent, Nike, was second with a 34% share, while Adidas (5.5%), Reebok (1.6%) and Under Armour (0.6%) divvied up the leftovers.

These numbers are a little off.

I'm not even into NBA like that but I'm pretty sure that Kobe contract extension was a 2yr deal, not a one-year thing. He didn't collect all those M's this year. Those DRose numbers are a bit inflated too.

Can you imagine if Jordan Brand was owned by Jordan?































prob wind up worse than the Bobcats

 

[CantStop]

So you're telling me Kobe only makes 16 million in endorsements?
