When it comes to generating money, Michael Jordan still has the GOAT title safely under his belt. While many NBA players get bankrupt shortly after their retirement from basketball, Jordan is that rare kind that has made more money off the court than when he was on it. In fact, the six-time NBA champion has been installed by Kurt Badenhausen of Forbes as the highest-paid athlete of all time.

Jordan still maintains his longtime endorsement relationships with Gatorade, Hanes, Nike and Upper Deck, but the investment that made him a billionaire was the $175 million fire-sale price he got the Charlotte Bobcats (now the Hornets) for in 2010. Jordan bumped his Hornets stake to 90% in 2013, and the team is now worth $780 million.

Jordan made just a total of $93.8 million during his entire stay with the Chicago Bulls and the Washington Wizards that spanned 19 years, but it’s his off-the-court business dealings and endorsements that have mostly turned him into a walking bank vault. He still makes money off basketball, though, as he is also the majority owner of the Charlotte Hornets.

On Badenhausen’s list, Jordan bested the likes of other giant sports figures like Tiger Woods, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and Michael Schumacher.
