agent has revealed the NBA legend once rejected $100 million USD for a two-hour appearance. Jordan is arguably the greatest ever athlete and amassed a vast array of sponsorship deals throughout his career, yet Jordan wasn't one to take the money without thoroughly investigating the benefits on offer first.
The 57-year-old scaled back his endorsements afterAccording to his agent David Falk, Jordan once turned down the chance to earn $150 million AUD for a couple of hours work - attending a golf day. "[Jordan] turned down a deal to do a one-day golf appearance when he was in Asia a few years ago for a pre-season game with Charlotte. "And some woman in the Philippines offered me seven million dollars for one day, wanted him to play in a golf tournament. And he turned it down."And all he had to do, other than give his name and likeness, was make one two-hour appearance to announce the deal. And he turned it down." Jordan's endorsement deals have paved the way for modern-day athletes to maximise their earnings off the court, with the star's impact on the game trickling down from generation to generation. Nike's Air Jordan range nets the Hornets owner around $A200m annually according to Forbes, with his net worth ballooning to $A3.15 billion, thanks in large part to his ownership of the Charlotte team.
