MICHAEL JORDAN – AGE 58

Michael Jordan’s superhuman powers catapulted him to the peak of commercial celebrity and supremacy in the sport of basketball, earning him the nickname “Player of All Time.” The 6’6″ shooting guard was drafted by the Chicago Bulls in 1984 and lit up the NBA with gravity-defying dunks and acrobatic scoring bursts. He matured into a real team player after leading the Bulls to their first-ever championship in 1991. He became a genuine celebrity, featuring in commercials worldwide and even co-starring in a big-budget film with Bugs Bunny.

He acquired majority ownership of the Charlotte Bobcats in 2010. Aside from being a team member, the Hall of Famer has established himself as the world’s richest athlete. He has investments in several businesses and makes a lot of money from his own Nike shoe line. As of 2020, Jordan is worth $1.6 billion, and the figure will only continue to rise.
