Michael Jordan Spent $1.2 Million per Week From His Net Worth Just to Make 16 Years Younger Wife Yvette Prieto Happy

When you are as rich as Michael Jordan, you can do whatever you want. The 6 time NBA champion became the first athlete to have a net worth of over a billion and he has since added to that to cement his place as the richest athlete in the world. As such, he owns a very expensive yacht worth $80 Million. And it seems like that wasn’t enough as he has rented out a $1.2 Million per week yacht for a holiday in Croatia to make his wife Yvette Prieto happy.

Jordan is considered to be the greatest player ever, and this allowed him to rake in millions in salaries and endorsements. But even with that, getting to where Jordan is difficult. What put Jordan on top of the mountain is his shoe deal with Nike. This allowed him to earn even after retirement, and he made several smart investments with that. Furthermore, he currently is also the owner of the NBA team, the Charlotte Hornets.
