With an estimated net worth of $3 billion, Michael Jordan has officially found himself on the Forbes 400 list, making history as the first professional athlete to rank among America’s wealthiest. In addition to a rather lucrative partnership with Nike, which includes his wildly successful Jordan Brand sneaker line, over the last nearly four decades, the 60-year-old Jordan has worked with McDonald’s, Gatorade, and Hanes, to name a few.

Though not on this list, Forbes cites the other $2 billion athletes are LeBron James and Tiger Woods.
