Can you imagine being so rich that you could turn down $100 million?
Michael Jordan is already insanely rich, but his net worth could’ve been so much more if hadn’t turned down a lucrative deal. According to his agent David Falk, Jordan has turned down some deals that most athletes would jump on immediately.
Speaking with WFAN’s Boomer & Gio with Boomer Esiason and Gregg Giannotti, Falk said that Jordan turned down a $100 million offer to use his name and likeness, and make a brief appearance for a brand.
“I brought him a deal three years ago for $100 million,” Falk said. “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. 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. I really admire that. He’s very, very selective in the things he wants to be involved in.”
Falk also revealed that Jordan was in Asia a few years ago with the Hornets and was offered $7 million to take part in a golf tournament, but turned the offer down.
As hard as it is to believe, Jordan was only the NBA’s highest-paid player for two of his 15 seasons.

He has certainly made up for it off the court.
