Michael Jordan<\/strong> is now so rich, he’s considered one of the wealthiest 400 people in America!!!<\/p>\n Forbes<\/strong> just bestowed the honor on the NBA legend … after it said the sale of his stake in the Charlotte Hornets earlier this summer pushed his net worth to $3 BILLION.<\/p>\n Jordan, according to the outlet, now comes in at No. 379<\/strong> among the country’s wealthiest 400 … just a few slots below WWE honcho Vince McMahon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n He’s become the first professional athlete to ever make the list.<\/p>\n His Airness, of course, gained a ton his of fortune through NBA contracts and his huge endorsement deals with companies like Nike and Gatorade … but it was the Hornets sale that pushed him into the rarified air.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As we reported, Jordan sold the team<\/strong> to Gabe Plotkin<\/strong> and Rick Schnall <\/strong>in June for $3 billion … this after he initially bought the majority stake of the organization in 2010 for a mere $175 million.<\/p>\n MJ’s got a ways to go to climb even higher on the famed Forbes list — cracking the top 100 requires a bankroll of nearly $9 billion — but if we were betting on anyone to do it … arguably the most competitive man in sports history seems like a safe choice.<\/p>\n
