Imagine being so rich out of your mind that you turn down making $100M like it was nothing.
Michael Jordan’s net worth is $2.1 billion, according to Forbes, so he has the luxury of doing whatever he wants at anytime for the rest of his life.
Jordan’s agent, David Falk, recently spoke on how insanely rich he is when he appeared with WFAN’s “Boomer & Gio” with Boomer Esiason and Gregg Giannotti to tell stories of deals the Hall of Famer rejected.
It was only brought up after Falk stated the money Jordan loses in gambling doesn’t really affect him. “If I told him tomorrow, ‘Hey I’ve got an appearance for you for $150,000,’ he’d laugh at me. If it was $1,005,000 he wouldn’t do it.”
Falk brought up a deal back in 2015 when Jordan turned a $7 million offer to appear at a golf tournament.
That story was nothing compared to Jordan turning down a ridiculous deal three years ago.
“I brought him a deal three years ago for $100 million,” Falk said. “And all he had to do was, other than giving his name and likeness, make one two-hour appearance to announce the deal and he turned it down. And God bless him. He’s been so successful, it gives him an opportunity to do whatever the hell he wants or not to do things he doesn’t want. And I really admire that. He’s very, very selective in the things that he wants to be involved in.”

“By 1991 every deal that I signed with was at least 10 years.” Falk said Jordan “never did one-off appearances.”
As hard as it is to believe, Jordan was only the NBA’s highest-paid player for two of his 15 seasons.
He clearly made up for it off the court.
