Michael Jordan earned $130 million from Nike in 2019, four times more than LeBron James

Wholesale revenue at Nike’s Jordan Brand subsidiary hit $3.14 billion in the fiscal year ending May 2019, up 10% from 2018. Michael Jordan’s annual take is an estimated $130 million, four times more than that of LeBron James, the No. 2 earner, with $32 million. Arguably, 16 years after he last laced up his own high tops on the court, more Jordan-branded shoes and apparel are being sold than the signature lines of every other current NBA player combined.
