    Can you guess? Who is behind Michael Jordan and what kind of business he got his money from?

     

  2. i saw that... but it does not make him the richest NBA player implying most money made from playing in the NBA..

    Neither MJ nor LBJ make the bulk of their wealth from the NBA to be honest.

    My favorite is Chris Rock's explanation of the difference between rich and wealthy, “Shaq is rich, but the white man who signs his check is wealthy.” Few get wealthy from playing in the NBA, but the smart guys leverage their NBA experience to become wealthy.

    In the modern era there are many sports stars (and other entertainers) who have earned multi-generational wealth just by their core income. Shaw included
     
  5. Lebron makes $30 million a year from Nike for life...

    LBJ got a recent $85 million 2 year contract from Lakers

    The salary money looks bigger upfront but the real wealth is always endorsements and sneakler contracts which outlive salaries
