Just when LeBron James was getting closer to Jordan's net worth, what Michael did surprises

LeBron James has been around 20 years in the NBA and at that time, he has been trying to match and surpass what Michael Jordan did on the court and off the court.

For many, Michael Jordan is Basketball's GOAT, LeBron has been working on dethroning MJ and becoming the NBA's ultimate GOAT, on and off the court as LeBron has also been investing in amassing a bigger fortune than the Chicago Bulls legend.

James was getting closer after becoming a billionaire last year and was under a billion away from tying Jordan, but Mike has made a move that made him for the moment untouchable by the Lakers star.

Michael Jordan's sale on the Hornets has made him a net worth of 3.5 billion, becoming the undisputed richest NBA player of all time. LeBron remains the still active richest NBA player but keeps being one step behind Jordan, at least when it comes to money.

What could make LeBron James the NBA's GOAT next season?

In his year 21 in the NBA, LeBron James will continue to break records, and he is on his path to becoming the only player to be in the 40K points, 10K rebounds, and 10K assists. James achieving this record could finally make him the GOAT over MJ.
