Foreword

Jordan, a legend in the basketball world, may be not familiar with him. He has only heard of the Jordan sports brand, but those who love basketball know how outstanding Jordan is.

It is not only a benchmark basketball star in the NBA, but also a successful businessman. His value is over $3 billion and his life is very luxurious.

Many people are curious, isn't Jordan just a basketball star? Why is he so valuable? People are also very curious about what kind of life Jordan, who is 62 years old this year, lives?

Not favored when he was a teenager

Jordan developed slowly when he was a child, was not tall, and was thin. At that time, it was hard for people to imagine that this young man would become a basketball superstar in the future. When Jordan was in his first year of high school, he fantasized about being able to enter the school basketball team, but the coach thought that his salary did not meet the standards, so he did not agree.

Jordan, who was rejected, was deeply hit, but he did not admit defeat, but instead aroused his greater fighting spirit. After returning home at night, he practiced basketball in the yard until late at night, repeatedly training dribbling and pitching.

When he was in his second year of high school, Jordan grew taller and made great progress in basketball skills. He finally joined the school team he was longing for and became a local star player.

In 1981, Jordan went to college. When he was a freshman, he was just a substitute. He passed by early every day during training and left at the latest. He never took a lazy day on the training ground.

At the age of 21, the Chicago Bulls came to choose people and chose Jordan at first glance. Although the Bulls' record in the early days was not impressive, Jordan's light could not be blocked.

By 1987, Jordan became the first scoring champion, which made people realize that he was not a simple character. After entering the 1990s, the entire arena was almost dominated by Jordan and the Bulls. In 1991, Jordan won the first basketball championship trophy in his life.

In the next few years, Jordan won three consecutive championships. He was as accurate as a machine, amazed many spectators on the field. However, in 1993, due to the death of his father, Jordan was greatly affected. He suddenly announced his retirement and went to play baseball to realize his dream for his father. However, Jordan's performance was not outstanding on the baseball field.

Two years later, Jordan returned to the Bulls, and his ruthlessness was comparable to Concubine Xi's return to the palace. He led the team to win three championships. It was Jordan, which enhanced the NBA's global popularity.

In 2003, Jordan officially retired, ending his 15-year career in the game and leaving the NBA. No one can break his record. Although Jordan's story on the field has ended, his story in the mall has just begun.

To everyone's surprise, with basketball talent, he is actually as good as a fish in the business world. So what business did Jordan do after retirement and what kind of life did he live?

Athlete Transformation Businessman

As early in the 1980s, before Jordan retired, he signed a contract with Nike and launched the Air Jordan series sneakers. At that time, the manufacturer did not expect that a pair of sneakers could be so popular, and customers bought them for Jordan's charm.

Until now, Jordan Brand can earn 7 billion yuan every year, and Jordan can get 250 million yuan in dividends without doing anything. It is also because of this business that Jordan has achieved financial freedom very early.

In 2010, Jordan spent more than $20 million to buy most of the Hornets' shares, but in 2023, he suddenly sold these shares and successfully cashed out $3 billion.

In his 15-year career, Jordan has always been very strict with himself, and his results are also dazzling. His ability to win 6 championships is related to his extraordinary desire for victory and loss. He cannot accept his loss in the game, so he has always been very strict with himself.

He is not only strict with himself, but also has high standards and strict requirements for the players. If he finds that there are players who do not train seriously, he will not care about the slightest respect and will get angry directly.

Although Jordan retired later, his desire to win and lose did not disappear. As the owner of the Hornets, Jordan definitely hopes that his team is the best, but more than ten years of experience proves that Jordan is great as a player, but as a boss, he is not qualified.

When Jordan managed the Hornets, the Hornets often ranked at the bottom of the record, and the main reason why the Hornets lost repeatedly was that they had no vision in the draft. The Hornets were originally a niche team, and stars were usually not willing to come here to develop, so they could only rely on the draft.

But Jordan may be almost intrigued in his eyes when selecting people. In more than ten years, among the 11 players Hornets have signed, only two are talented. However, Alexander, the player signed by the Hornets, is very talented, but he soon traded Alexander to the Clippers. Now Alexander has become a star player at the MVP level, so it has to be said that the Hornets are really not good at selecting people.

Jordan has been operating for more than ten years, but the Hornets still have no good record and ranks the lowest in market value. With many considerations, Jordan sold the Hornets for $3 billion, and Jordan's personal value has soared..

Many people are curious about how good Jordan is at work and has such a high value. What is his emotional life like?

The second wife still has a charm, and has a wealthy freedom. Jordan has a mansion, a yacht, and a very luxurious life. However, his emotional journey is not as smooth as his career. He took many detours before he got married to Juanita in 1989 and had three children. However, after his marriage lasted for 17 years, it still came to an end.

In 2006, he divorced and gave the other party a breakup fee of 168 million yuan. This money is enough to have enough food and clothing for the rest of his life. After the divorce, Jordan also took good care of the children. All three children started business, and his ex-wife Juanita would also do some charity.

In 2008, Jordan met his second wife, Evette, a Cuban-born model, who is beautiful, has a good figure and is a teenager younger than Jordan. They quickly fell in love and held a luxurious wedding in 2013. After marriage, Evette gave birth to twin daughters, and her life with Jordan was very sweet. She became Mrs. Jordan and often attended New York Fashion Week. Her figure and temperament were not inferior to that of young models. She also helped Jordan manage her own industry in her spare time and often went out for vacation with Jordan.

Yvette, who is already over 40 years old this year, has taken good care of her and looks charming. However, Jordan, who is 62 years old, has been a little old under the media camera recently, and his eyes are a little yellow. Fans speculate whether he is sick, but his team came out to clarify that he has no health problems after the physical examination.

Conclusion

Now Jordan often drives a yacht with his wife Evette to sunbathe. They hold hands and walk by the beach, like a young couple in love.

The media often take photos of Jordan's trip. Their footprints are spread all over Europe, and their comfortable life is enviable. Not only are the elderly accompanied by a beautiful wife, but also a pair of twin daughters who are happy. They are really happy.
