Michael Jordan may be among the best investors in the NBA, or perhaps the luckiest one. Whatever the case, everyone envies his $2.1 billion fortune.
The billionaire legend is looked up to as the guy in basketball. Everyone wants to be MJ, even LeBron James. So how does one build such a fortune, well it certainly isn’t from basketball alone.
Apart from endorsing rich business deals MJ also likes to take part in a competition or two. While it is certainly not as glamorous as NASCAR, Fishing does yield some rewards.
The basketball great returned to the fishing competition for the third year in a row.

While MJ didn’t exactly get the top prize, he made headlines when he caught a Dolphin at the start of the day, vaulting him into the lead.
The tournament had a purse of $5,863,125. MJ has found new ways to make more money, and as a Twitter user summed it up, we think he fell for this way back in 2020.
Big Rock Blue Marlin fishing tournament has record-setting purse of $3,343,975.
