Basketball legend and entrepreneur Michael Jordan once incredibly turned down a huge among of money that many would only dream of getting in a lifetime for just a matter of hours. Jordan’s former agent, David Falk reports.
David Falk, while speaking with “Boomer and Gio” on WFAN Sports Radio, highlighted that the way Michael Jordan chooses his business opportunities shows just how successful he is.
“I brought him a deal three years ago for $100 million,” Falk said during the interview. “All he had to do was, other than giving his name and likeness, make one two-hour appearance to announce the deal, and he turned it down.”
David Falk added that “God bless him. He’s been so successful; it gives him an opportunity to do whatever the hell he wants or not to do things he doesn’t want. I really admire that. He’s very, very selective in the things he wants to be involved in.”
Meanwhile, Michael Jordon is reportedly set to make more millions with the April 2020 release of ESPN’s “The Last Dance” documentary. The miniseries focuses on the Chicago Bulls between 1997 and 1998. According to Forbes, the project will be fetching him $3 million to $4 million that he plans to spend on charity.
It’s no surprise anyway as we already know Michael Jordan as a giver. Back in 2019, he shared the news of a $1 million donation to help with relief efforts for Hurrican Dorian. Again, the same year, he donated more than $7 million to construct two medical facilities in his home state of North Carolina. In October, the first of those two facilities were opened.
The legend has such a generous heart!
