COM: Another accomplishment to add to the resume of the greatest basketball player of all time, Michael Jordan is now a billionaire according to Forbes. In February, Forbes estimated Jordan’s annual earnings at $90 million and his net worth at $750 million.  But according to their sources, Jordan has upped his stake in the Charlotte Hornets from 80% to 89.5% tipping the scale of his net worth to the billionaire range. The Milwaukee Bucks were sold in May for $550 million and are considered the least valuable team in the league.  Sports bankers estimate the Hornets are worth between $600 million and $625 million. They went with the lower figure of $600 million to estimate Jordan’s net worth.  The Hornets have $135 million in debt which would make Jordan’s equity in the team worth $416 million.  They subtracted how much Jordan invested in the team and estimated his net worth outside of the Hornets (including those sneakers you guys love so much) to $600 million giving him a grand total of $1 billion. Welcome the newest billionaire Mr. Michael Jordan. (News)
