The unexpected business between Michael Jordan and Neymar that made them both earn millions

Michael Jordan was one of the greatest athletes ever. The basketball player marked an era at the NBA playing for Chicago Bulls and winning as many titles as he had never imagined. The last years of his career were at Washington Wizards and, after that, he jumped into the world of businesses.

One of the best ones he ever made was the creation of the brand Air Jordan. With the help of Nike, he transformed it into one of his greatest gold mines. Just in a trimester, the company reported a gain of $900 million, something that he wasn’t probably imagining.

Neymar had also a key role in the growth of the Air Jordan brand. The player received a millionaire sponsorship and make possible for Jordan to reach new audiences away from the U.S. where he is absolutely famous. Ney's intervention permitted it land in Europe.

Jordan Brand is making history in sports businesses and Michael has been gaining fortunes during the last years. Neymar as well took advantage of his relationship with the basketball player and signed a contract of sponsorship. That relationship also helped Jordan Brand to reach an agreement to appear in PSG jersey.
