Athletes Turned Actors: Michael Jordan, $20 million


Michael Jordan starred in only one movie, Space Jam, and he played himself. Yet that one single appearance earned Jordon an estimated $20 million dollars. Turns out that it was a great investment for Warner Bros. While the movie received largely negative reviews, it went on to earn over $230 million dollars, largely due to Jordon’s fame. Of course, for a man believed to be worth over $650 million dollars, $20 million doesn’t make much of a difference. Jordon is now retired from the NBA and acting, but still earns millions through his business deals and sponsorships.
