Revealing The Story Of The Legendary Michael Jordan, When He Was 21 Years Old, He Bought 7 Supercars In One Day And Then Gave Away All 6 For Just One Reason.

In early October, Forbes valued former basketball legend Michael Jordan at a staggering $3 billion, equivalent to 73.485 trillion Vietnamese dong. This made him a notable addition to the Forbes 400, an annual list of America’s wealthiest individuals. Jordan’s wealth affords him a luxurious lifestyle, but his history of generous spending dates back to his youth.

Few know the tale of Jordan purchasing seven cars in a single day, a revelation made by attorney Don Godwin in a 2017 interview. Jordan, aged 21, had recently joined the Chicago Bulls as a third overall pick in the NBA Draft. At that time, Don Godwin’s father, Lewis, worked at a Wilmington, North Carolina car dealership, Jordan’s hometown. Lewis surprisingly sold seven cars to a young MJ.

On that memorable day, Jordan expressed his desire to own seven cars, with specific choices for his family. He kept only one for himself and gifted the rest to family members, teaching Don Godwin a valuable lesson about respect.

Jordan’s love for cars began in his North Carolina upbringing and grew as he ascended to NBA stardom. Born in 1963, he also turned his passion into a successful venture by co-founding 23XI Racing with NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin.

Michael Jordan’s Forbes 400 inclusion marked a historic moment, as he became the first professional athlete to rank among America’s wealthiest. This achievement remains rare, with only three athletes reaching billionaire status, starting with Jordan in 2014 at age 51, followed by Tiger Woods and LeBron James, all while actively pursuing their careers.

Since retiring from professional basketball in 2003, Michael Jordan has been very discreet in his car acquisitions.

 However, there is information suggesting that he owns one of the 12 Bugatti Veyron Sang Noirs, also known as the “Black Blood.”
