They have not won another championship since.In so doing, Jordan became the face of basketball, and is regarded by many as the greatest ever to have graced the court.Endorsements from the brand that carries his name have helped him build a net worth of 1.29bn, placing him inside the top 1,500 richest people in the world.8

At 26, PSG forward Neymar is already worth 68.5m and will make a further 250m just in salary from the five-year deal he signed at the club last summer
