MICHAEL JORDAN
Widely considered as one of the greatest basketball players of all time, Michael Jordan is the chairman and principal owner of the National Basketball Association (NBA) team Charlotte Hornets and the NASCAR Cup Series’ 23XI Racing. Jordan won six championships for the Chicago Bulls in his 15-season career with the team, becoming a global cultural icon by helping popularize the NBA globally in the 1980s and 1990s. He played under Coach Dean Smith while playing college basketball for three seasons with the North Carolina Tar Heels. Later on, Jordan emerged as the league’s star after he joined the Chicago Bulls in 1984.
With a degree of tremendous success in his basketball career, Jordan won multiple awards and recognitions, such as six NBA Finals MVP Awards, three All-Star MVP Awards, five MVP Awards, three steal titles, and Defensive Player of the Year Award, among many others. Early on in Jordan’s career, his net worth increased by the hundreds of millions, and he bought expensive cars like his Ferrari 512TR in 1992. It’s fitted with a V12 engine with a maximum power output of 422 brake horsepower and 362 pound-foot of torque using its five-speed manual transmission, which propels the sports car up to 314 km/h.
