All hail to the G.O.A.T.
Aside from being deemed the greatest basketball player of all time, Michael Jordan can now but “billionaire” in his cabinet of achievements. The former Bulls All-Star has now increased his stake in the Charlotte Hornets, which would put his net worth in the 9-figure category. His ownership percentage in the team went from 80 percent to 89.5 percent, with the franchises reportedly worth around $600 million.
R.I.P. the Charlotte Bobcats.

The Bobcats might be one of the worst teams we have seen out on the court for close to a decade, but the future looks bright, especially after changing their name back to the OG Hornets. This past season the team locked up a spot in the NBA Playoffs and although the Heat swept them out, with the likes of Al Jefferson, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Kemba Walker on the squad, the newly invigorated Hornets have nothing to be disappointed about. Plus, the city is excited about the team too.
That billionaire figure is bound to go up for MJ in the near future.
