The legacy of Michael Jordan is undeniable. He not only had a successful NBA career but also revolutionized basketball worldwide. Even years after his retirement, a major portion of people know the league by the face of Jordan. It is unsurprising that he is the richest athlete with a staggering net worth of $3 Billion. Last year LeBron James became a part of this billionaire group, and the recent addition is Tiger Woods.
A list of renowned basketball players can’t be complete without the mention of Jordan and James. The two are legends in their own eras. His Airness has six championships to his name whereas King James has four. Despite being players in different eras, the two faced each other in 2004 at Jordan’s camp.

Woods is known as the greatest player in golf and is recently being considered for the role of captain for Team USA. Jordan’s love for golf is not unknown, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that he and Woods get along. The two in fact share a brotherly bond, and Jordan also went to Woods’ wedding in 2004.
It is quite fascinating how Jordan who started the athlete-led billionaire group shares a relationship with the other two. However, there is a significant difference between the net worth of James and Woods to that of Jordan’s.
Even the combined net worth of Tiger Woods and LeBron James is less than Michael Jordan’s
As per Forbes, the net worth of Michael Jordan is a staggering $3 Billion. Whereas, LeBron James and Tiger Woods have $1 Billion and $1.1 Billion respectively. Interestingly, even the total of James and Woods’ net worth would be short of that of MJ.
Jordan became a billionaire back in 2014, on the other hand, James and Woods joined the club last year. All three of them reached this benchmark due to their legendary careers in sports. Additionally, the endorsement deals and businesses helped to make it to the billionaire group.
Notably, His Airness had a huge boost to his net worth after he sold his majority stake in Charlotte Hornets. Whereas, James is the first-ever active NBA player to become a billionaire, which was largely because of his brand endorsements, business, and contracts. Furthermore, Woods is the only golf player to reach this significant milestone.
Even though there is a difference between their net worth, it can’t be denied that all three of them deserved their spot. They have consistently worked hard in their respective games to achieve this phenomenal success and recognition.
