How much does Michael Jordan make with the shoes?
Michael Jordan has a whopping net worth of around $1.6 billion, according to Forbes. And his iconic sneaker line played a huge role.
He apparently earned around $130 million from the sneaker line, which is four times what LeBron James earns. The love story of Michael Jordan and Nike began in 1984. Nike decided to sign the young Jordan for a fee of $2.50,000 which became one of the biggest franchises in the world.
