Basketball legend Michael Jordan has reached billionaire status. 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.
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.
