David Beckham and Michael Jordan: Who has more money? How do they spend it?

David Beckham and Michael Jordan have many things in common. Both are legends of their sports, both weared the 23 shirt, and both are incredible marketing machines. And of course, both made incredible fortunes with their activities and image rights. Here, a review of their fortunes.

The money the former soccer legend earned when he was playing for Real Madrid was just the 10% of incomes for advertisements, and his wages at the there were around the highest in the world at that time. Then, he saw many opportunities for businesses with that, and made near 350 million euros. The total wealth of Inter Miami CF owner and his wife Victoria Beckham goes near 900 millions.

The NBA icon is making more money now than he did when he was the best basketball player of the world. He became the first pro athlete to reach the billion dollar mark, and his incomes become bigger and bigger with the Nike Jordan brand. He is the richest retired athlete, with a wealth of 1.6 kbillion dollars. Beckham is the second best.

Jordan, owner of Charlotte Hornets, has donated more than a hundred million to philantropic causes, food banks in Chicago and the Carolinas and specially, organizations that fight against racism. Both sports and businessmen have spent lots of money on incredible mansions around the world, yachts and other eccentricities.
