This. All of the re-issued Jordan shoes are always sold out... my brother will always stand in line for them and buy two pairs, one to wear and another just to keep, maybe to sell if he needs the money. And then don't forget about the Jordan line of shoes. People still buy his jerseys too... I picked up an authentic black Jordan jersey a couple years back myself.
What other endorsements does he have? I think he still does Fruit of the Loom, but I'm not sure about the other ones he had in the past (Coca Cola, Gatorade, etc.).
But what hurts is that divorce of his... not that it really does much to him, but his (ex-)wife got a few hundred million, if I remember correctly.

a lot of the GOATS possessed tremendous talent, but dont make nearly as much as MJ...LOL@"thanks to the talent"...u do realize that Jordan entered the NBA at a perfect time, when marketing first took off, and Jordan was Stern's puppet...if u dont realize that, slap yaself. If Jordan were drafted today, picture would be COMPLETELY different. so yes, the talent helped, but he would be nowhere financially without Stern, Nike and the marketing push he got while he was made the face of the NBA...PeACe.
