Michael Jordan's NBA defining deal with Nike has earned him £198.5 million

Basketball legend Michael Jordan has earned a staggering £198 million ($255m) each year from his iconic sponsorship with sports branding giant Nike during their near-40-year-long relationship.

Jordan is recognised as arguably the greatest player to ever grace a basketball court, having become the face of the NBA during his remarkable career. As well as his glittering playing record, the 60-year-old is also best known for his 'Air Jordan' line with Nike.

Jordan initially signed on the dotted line with the branding giant back in 1984, and nearly 40 years later his fashion line is stronger than ever. According to joepompliano.com, Nike Jordan sales have skyrocketed in recent years, breaking the $2 billion mark every year since 2018.
