Michael Jordan loves to spend his money almost as much as he loves to earn it.
And he earns a lot.
The basketball legend recently made it onto the prestigious Forbes 400 list, officially making him one of the richest people on earth.
This is an especially impressive feat when you consider how much of his wealth he’s spent on cars.
Let’s check out some of the most impressive vehicles in his fleet.

Chevrolet Corvette C4
While his most famous endorsement deal is with Nike, Jordan also struck a fruitful deal with Chevrolet.
When he was just 21, the manufacturer gifted him a Corvette C4 in exchange for filming a few commercials.
At the time the car was most famous for featuring in the TV show of the era, The A-Team, and remains an iconic model to this very day.
To celebrate his newfound fame and wealth, Jordan gave his Corvette the license place ‘JUMP 23’.
Porsche 930 Turbo Cabriolet
A lot of Jordan’s fortune comes from the sale of his sneaker, the Air Jordan.
He used some of the cash earned from Nike to buy a Porsche 930 Turbo Cabriolet.
The model is known as the ‘Flat Nose’ due to its shape which served as the inspiration for the Air Jordan VI shoe.
The silhouette of the nose is reminiscent of the sneaker’s shape, and the heel tab mimics the Porsche’s ‘whale-tail’ spoiler.
Worth $165,000, this powerful model can reach 60mph in 4.9 seconds.
Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir
There are only 12 Sang Noirs in existence, one of which belongs to Drake.
Another one of these elite cars is in Jordan’s garage.
The model’s name translates to ‘black blood’ and is a modern take on the art deco style of the Type 57S Atlantique.
It costs $2.25 million and can reach top speeds of 253mph.
Ferrari 512 Testarossa
Jordan bought this Ferrari Testarossa in 1989 for $212,000.
He infamously nearly got arrested for going 90mph in a 60mph zone in it.
After neglecting to appear in court, he was luckily able to pay his way out of having a warrant in his name.
The Testarossa’s appearance in Miami Vice helped make it one of the most recognisable models Ferrari has ever produced.
It can reach speeds of 180mph, placing it up there with the fastest cars of its time.
Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster
This year, Jordan added his most expensive car yet to his collection.
The hypercar is one of only 30 ever made and was delivered personally by the Hennessey CEO to Jordan’s private golf club.
The Roadster is outrageously luxurious, with a blinged-out ‘Fury’ V8 engine, butterfly doors and hand-polished wheels.
Its price tag is equally as outrageous, costing $3.5 million.
His 2023 Hennessey model holds the title of the fastest convertible in the world.
And as such a well-decorated star, it only makes sense that Jordan would want his cars to match his calibre.
