Like many other successful businessmen, Jordan also has a weakness, he is heavily into cars. He has spent a lot of money on buying many cars over the years. According to reports, Jordan paid Automobil Pininfarina $2.2 million for an exclusive, custom-built Battista Targamerica sports car.

This showcases his love for owning high-end custom and vintage cars. Jordan is among the richest people on the planet. While his NBA career has given him a billion-dollar fortune, his brand has given him even more wealth.

After his basketball career finished, Jordan became the richest NBA player of all time thanks to his widespread popularity. In the upcoming months and years, it will be interesting to see what other businesses and vehicles Jordan will come to own.

Michael Jordan once bought 7 cars in one day as a ‘rookie’

Michael Jordan has been one of the most successful players in NBA history and has carried on that success even after he retired. Jordan has seen it all in his life, from rag to riches.



Jordan’s family friend Lewis Godwin‘s son, Don Godwin, shared a story about how his father had sold a rookie Jordan seven cars at a Wilmington, North Carolina car dealership.

Michael said, ‘I want to buy seven cars. Do you see that big black Mercedes, the four-door? That’s the one for me. I want my mother to have the little Mercedes next to it, and I want my dad to have a Mercedes. I want my grandmother to have a big Pontiac Bonneville, and my brothers and sisters—Firebird Trans Ams, beautiful Pontiacs.’

Don Godwin told Dmagazine

Jordan looked out for everyone who had faith in him and continues to be a devoted family man. With his current net worth exceeding $3.5 billion, he could potentially purchase all of these cars a thousand times over. It’s safe to assume that he has given the Jordan family generational wealth. It remains to be seen what lies next for Jordan in his future.
