Not so long ago, legendary basketball player Michael Jordan became the richest athlete in history. In total, his earnings reach 2.62 billion dollars, and the capital – 1.6 billion. Most of the funds went outside the playing field, that is, after the completion of professional activities.
It is worth noting that Michael is not the only entrepreneur; the eldest son, Jeffrey, also followed in the footsteps of his father. And he really succeeded, since his fortune is greater than that of many professional basketball players.
Although the path to success begins with basketball, he started playing even at school. But the high-profile surname has always aroused the attention of the public. Some matches were broadcast on TV. But during schooling, Jeff did not show an outstanding game. Even in college, he did not get into a large team, which is why he began to devote more time to his studies. And soon he was able to fall for an internship at Nike, and so far he has firmly established himself there.
At the moment he is 32 years old and he is a successful entrepreneur who is indirectly associated with sports because of his last name. The essence of the activity lies in the leadership of the department of digital innovation. He works at his father’s company and creates concepts and tests innovative solutions, platforms and certain trends in order to greatly enhance the power and integrity of the marketing campaign. That is, Jeff finds ways to use new and cool digital trends and tries to tell more about the history of the brand.
Of course, it is not without some problems. For example, not so long ago, Jeffrey was accused of assaulting hospital staff. And he got there after a small incident in a bar, where he was injured. Police note that he fell and hit his head, but then got into a fight with security, who tried to get him out of the bar to help.
But there was no talk of arrest, no charges. The situation is extraordinary, but it did not entail any scandal. As for playing basketball, nothing happened. But at the same time, the business brings considerable profit, and its fortune is more than that of many world stars who perform at a professional level.
