NBA legend, Michael Jordan is now the 513th-richest person in the U.S with passing the $1.0 billion mark. The reason for his new billionaire status is because of his ownership over the Charlotte Hornets. He also sold L.A clippers for $2 billion to Steve Ballmer. And of course the rest comes from deals with Nike earning him $90 million alone back in 2013.
