Forbes Magazine estimates that Jordan's equity
as owner of the NBA's Charlotte Hornets is $416million and his net worth
outside of the team to be $600million. It reported Jordan now owns 89.5 per
cent of the Hornets.
Jordan's spokeswoman, Estee Portnoy, confirmed
that Jordan purchased an additional stake in the Hornets in January 2013, but
wouldn't say how much.
Portnoy had no comment on whether or not Jordan
is a billionaire.
A six-time NBA champion with Chicago Bulls,
Jordan earned fame and fortune on the basketball court, as well as through
endorsements and movies.
The 51-year-old became the majority owner of the
Hornets (formerly the Bobcats) in 2010 when he bought out Bob Johnson's share
of the team.
