# Jordan distributes 3.8 billion dollars across the United States, how much can each person receive?

Basketball god Michael Jordan's net worth is approximately $3.8 billion, making him the richest athlete of all time. But if he were to divide this money equally among 342 million people in the U.S., each person would only get $11.11 — which is the price of a Chipotle takeout 🤔.

If distributed only to adults (305 million), each person would receive $12.45. It doesn't sound like much, but there is an interesting numerical comparison behind it.

Where does Jordan's wealth come from? His NBA salary during his career was only 90 million, the real gold mine is sponsorships and investments:
- **Air Jordan Series** (1984 to present): Annual revenue of tens of millions
- **Charlotte Hornets**: Invested $175 million in 2010, sold at a valuation of $3 billion in 2023.
- **Other Investments**: NASCAR team, tequila brand, DraftKings shares

How amazing can an athlete's wealth be? Jordan transformed the success of his sports career into a continuous cash flow through branding, investments, and business acumen. This is also why he earned less than $100 million during his NBA career but became a billionaire after retirement.
