In the words of Jermaine Dupri and Jay-Z, money ain’t a thang to basketball icon Michael Jordan. Despite his stature as one of the best sports figures in history, MJ has managed to keep a low profile since he retired in 2003. So low, in fact, that he once turned down $100 million not to appear at an event! His former agent
, David Falk, recently appeared on WFAN’s Boomer and Gio, where he shared a story demonstrating just how selective Michael Jordan is when approached with opportunities. The 70-year-old said:
“I brought him a deal three years ago for $100 million. All he had to do was, other than giving his name and likeness, make a one two-hour appearance to announce the deal and he turned it down.”
David Falk continued:
“God bless him. He’s been so successful, it gives him an opportunity to do whatever the hell he wants or not to do things he doesn’t want. I really admire that. He’s very, very selective in the things he wants to be involved in.”
