- Everyone knows about Michael Jordan's wealth (but not about how much he lost in the pandemic) but people aren't aware of the second most rich NBA player of all time. It's time to react to the top-10 money list and explain how they got so wealthy.

![8 QUESTIONS from The Last Dance ANSWERED [yellow eyes, LeBron threat]](/img/tr.png)
Successful people don't become that way overnight. most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time.
This sentence is the secret of most successful investors. I once attended similar and ever since then been waxing strong financially, and i most tell you the truth..investment is the key that can secure your family future. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life. 🙏🙏🙏
Exactly! That's my major concern and what kind of profitable business or investment can someone do with the current rise in economic downturn
For me Forex trading is really profitable, investing in it now will be the wisest thing to do especially with the current rise in bit coin
you're right Forex trading is surely a lucrative way to invest whether you want growth, leverage, stable income or something in between.
Yeah for sure, honestly I made 62,800 dollars within 6days of trading with Bit coin.
It's really profitable for me and I will encourage anyone interested should invest in it 💯
Vinnie "The Microwave" Johnson. One of my favorite players of all time. Nice to hear about his success after playing.
Baddddd Boyssssss........before Puff
Glad to see David Robinson on the list. Always seemed like a really good person.
Aww man champion of human bein met him 1 time in Asu vs notre Dame football game
Class act
I hope his naval service didn't involve killing anyone who didn't deserve it.
I used to work in San Antonio and had several contacts with David Robinson. Absolutely the nicest person I've ever met. His good fortune is well deserved.
He's done more for the city of San Antonio than majority of our mayors combined
David Robinson was contractually obligated to serve in the Navy after finishing his schooling at the Naval academy. He and the Spurs negotiated an early release with the Navy.
&&
Exactly
Those old school guys were grounded in their mission. No social media or FOMO just hustle.
most players in this era will be financially better off that the previous ones.
You cant ignore social media as an income opportunity nowadays. It would be dumb not to use it.
The GameStop thing was the one of the best things ever lol got to love when the little people give it to the elites
Lot more to it than that. It was an almost certainty that some hedge funds in addition to momentum funds were _buying_ gamestop shares at the time. It is a hyper-competitive business. Wiping out or destroying a competitor's track record, and making a ton of money in the process, is too good to resist. PS I doubt MJ could or would jump in to rescue a hedge fund. (Need a lot more money than that.) Likely was just the subjective nature of net worth estimates that they can fluctuate a lot.
Vinnie "Micro Wave" has locked in on what Detroit was all about - The auto industry that was the foundation for that era!
I've said this before, ...the reason why folks don't know about Bridgeman is that he wasn't a superstar. He was a great 6th man, and media during his playing days acknowledged what he did, but not how they tend to do it in today's game. Vinnie Johnson is more well-known by fans because of his Pistons' success. But, both Johnson and Bridgeman made excellent post career decisions, and now, have net worths higher than any of their respective teammates.
I worked for him at a Wendy’s.
Wow, great video. It was very interesting to hear about the players that turned their basketball money, in some case small abouts by today's NBA standards, into generational wealth.
Raps fan here - I like how TH-cam NBA content creators have figured out if you make Raptors-related content, it's likely to get lots of attention from Raps fans due to the lack of coverage we get in the US media. CC's like youself are our US media coverage, thank you!
So if I was to make a video about raptors trades, would I gain your subscription?
@@frostlegend954 trades are less likely to to draw attention due to the simple fact that they havnet happened yet tho it will probably get you more views if you make them raptors related
Ok, I have a good one planned about how the raptors could do the ultimate rebuild
@@frostlegend954 we're well on our way already, I'd wager you are getting your info from US media and don't have much of an idea about our team/organization

Junior Bridgeman was most famous for, during his career, being one of the players that the Lakers traded to the Bucks for Kareem.
look how much they earn per season
th-cam.com/video/JyvMkhiSB8I/w-d-xo.html
Lol
I had dinner with Swen Nater one time lol
Bridgemsn was also a excellent player during the marques Jonson, Sydney moncrief buck era they always won around fifty games and Don Nelson’s crew played one of more entertaining brand of basketball. Never the star that moncrief or marques were but he was one of best sixth men along with Andrew Toney and micheal cooper.
He was successful after he own wendy's & other food chains
You are a natural at this. Very interesting and entertaining delivery
Interesting vid and original concept, thanks Casey
My grandfather lived in the same neighborhood as David Robinson and my uncle went to church with him. He's the man!! I loved Tim Duncan but man I miss watching David Robinson play so much more
I’ve actually heard of the second most richest person… I watched a video of another TH-camr (not as good of course😉) and I was really surprised about it…
It was Frank Michael Smith and Clutchpoints
@@timonriehl8707 true it was… now I remembered… it’s a topic that’s just talked about so much!
Nice! Good to know 👍🏼

Felt like a Story time on a Friday
Appreciate that 💯
I really admire guys like Olajuwon and Shaq that put their name on shoes any kid can afford
Chris Webber also did this too
Kobe may not be here anymore but he was worth $600 million!!! RIP BLACK MAMBA!!!
This rip Kobe narrative needs to stop. Here's becoming nauseating.
@@TekkLuthor Showing respect may be nauseating for you since you don’t get any.
Maybe if he wasn't rich he doesn't charter a helicopter... The ripple effect
@@TekkLuthor These idiots always say RIP to Kobe, but nothing about his kid that died or the other poor saps that lost their lives that day
@@Sun-Warrior1911 🤣👍🏿 Got eeem!
Good for Junior Bridgeman, man he really killed it. He never forgot where he came from and never lost his work ethic, great story!
sa
pretty amazing. Ingenious way to finance real estate
He's a business man who played in the nba, not an nba player who is rich.
Hold up why isn't Kobe on the list. He made almost 300 million playing, and he also had prominent investments such as UFC and Body Armour.
Kobe died
Kobe's dead bro. Died in a train crash. 🚆
And he forgot number 3 he went from 4 to 2
@@maryhege5499 Two were tied for #2 so that counts as 2 positions.
And 33 million of MJ’s 90 came in his last season with the Bulls, so he was really underpaid even by 80’s-90’s standards.
63 of the 90 in the last 2 years. (30+33). he wasnt so underpaid as it was a backloaded contract. sure it was low when he made just 2-3 million in 95 and 96. but the contract was contextually fair for the time to have him due to make 63 mil in 2 years. 1990s years. and its still more salary than any other athlete has been paid in a 2 year span. still a record while salaries have exploded by a factor of almost 10 since then.
@@ice-iu3vv didn’t realize it was a 2 year but his previous contract was still low considering he’d been a 30+ per game scorer since the 80’s with a 3peat under his belt. It was a record for a long time but I think even Simmons is making that now, assuming he suits up for somebody by the start of the season.
@@ice-iu3vv There was nothing fair about MJ’s contracts prior to the last few years. He was so underpaid he was being paid less than several team mates, like Toni Kukoc, Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman, despite being the best player on the team. This is probably why the Bulls were able to surround him with talent to compliment his abilities, but it’s also a big reason for the bad blood between MJ and management.
@@MrPhilbautista so we need to review what backloaded means. its 1 contract, not plural, unfair contracts. michael set up his long term contract with his agent and attorney and the bulls obliged him. it called for him to make most of his money in the last 2 years. jordan wanted it this way for 2 reasons. to defer the high income tax hit, and to allow the bulls salary cap room to put the second dynasty together. keep in mind reinsdorf paid him his basketball salary for 2 years while michael was playing baseball in the white sox system. these players (kukoc, pippen, and rodman) were NOT making more than michael in terms of the total contract, but they made more in specific seasons. again, michael set up his own deal, intentionally. no it isnt the source of any bad blood. michael's beef with management springs from them letting go of phil jackson, refusing to keep the second 3-peat team together, and krausse taking too much credit for the teams success. nothing fair ? so, you jumped to the conclusion that the most shrewd basketball business mind of them all was just bullied and ripped off, apparently against his will ? no that doesnt sound like michael jordan at all.
WOULD U BELIEVE MJ HAD THE
WORST CONTRACT STARTING OUT
WITH THE BULLS A $3 MIL YEAR
ENDORSEMENTS ON SIDE HELPED HIM A LOT...U HAD PLAYERS NO WHERE NEAR HIS TALENTS MAKE MORE THAN HIM....EARLY IN THE END OF HIS CAREER STARTED MAKING $30 MIL ETC IT WAS ENDORSEMENTS SAVE HIM
BUT BUT BUT!!! HE MADE
$10,000,000,000.00 billion for the
League his playing days..go figure
20 years later he reached billionaire
Status 20 years later a joke...a real joke
JB.OK
Such a great video! Enjoyed watching this video! Please make more videos!
Watching this today I can tell that you've really improved in proved with your content 👏
Junior is now the sole distributor of Coka-Cola in Canada...so he is in second place by himself.
Really? That's nuts
Now i get it, in one video of Shaq said “I can’t spend all of this money alone” so he buy\give random people something when he go shopping mall. what a legend 🤙🏼 Long live Shaq! for all of this in this list only shaq i idolised since their NBA moments and till now. God bless you more Shaq
Shaq is very generous, dude literally changes people's lives with his generosity.
This was such a good read. WELL EFFIN DONE
Lol Reddit costing MJ £600m😂 Man the 2020s have been weird as hell
Great video, back when David Robinson was at the Naval Academy they didn't have rule they have now to let you defer your service. You had to go and serve, Roger Staubach did the same thing (and that was during the Vietnam War). He's a great man and glad he made list. Good job with this video.
He was an officer it's not like he was going to do any real work. Lol
Hey Casey, how about makin a vid about all Player's signature shoes??
Really dope video, I just subscribed 🔥
I knew this was about Junior Bridgeman. As a aside David Robinson didn't have a choice. He had to serve those years
He could of bought himself out of that contract the minute he signed a contract my man
this man really said magot magic
I'm an OG raps fan and I think your vids about them are true and honest. Raps fans who complain about disrespect and take criticism are all new bandwagoners who just became fans in 2019
Rap is both singular and plural bud. An og should know his grammar. Lastly, I have no idea what your comment has to do with the video at all .
You're not a Raptors fan
Thanks for the video. Interesting and informative.
A video about wisdom. Very nicely done.
Junior Bridgeman was a great player. If he had played during the 3-point era he would be among the top stars from that time. Great shooter and defensive nightmare for opponents. I knew he was going to be on this list. Go Bucks!!!!!
He is also the owner of Ebony and Jet Magazines. Great businessman.
@@DaveReddy He was the Players Association rep when he played as well. Smooth and one of my favorites.
I’m a raps fan and ur still my favourite TH-camr. Love the vids
Can you predict how much game the raptors winning this season
I’m guessing 34

Idk who’s list this is but you’re forgetting about Quinn Cook. I’m pretty sure he inherited a big hotel franchise and has been rich since birth
Yea I think he is 600 mill in salary
Lolwut
That’s awesome
Hes worth 1.0 to 1.3 billion depending on market swings, he donates a lot of his income , he did grow up with money its all old news to him.
Imma huge raptors fan and i still love your content. Love the top 10 lists idea 👍
Yeah!!! Thanks 🙏🏼
I'm curious because Yao Ming actually made more with his earnings than many on this list. Not just basketball but his investments in wine and products
China is different. For example, in his basketball career, the chinese government had a lot of power for Yao's career and took most of the money he earned. So I wouldn't be surprised if they did the same with his other investments
@@MrE_ no they didn't.
@@MrE_ they didn't lol
@@teethegreezlybigman6370 they literally created Yao. Did you know that the chinese government arranged for the tallest male and female basketball players to get married? And their son was Yao Ming.
@@MrE_ how true is this?...I have seen it a couple of times and it always feels like cap to me. But knowing China you never truly know
Grant Hill got his money not from being smart but because his family always moved amongst the rich and powerful, he knows all the right people.
Same with Russel Wilson.
I’m a raptors fan and I love your vids
Thanks for that. The only thing we hear about are the players who make millions and end up broke. That's because that's the story Some people WANT to hear. Wonder Why???
we like the dirty laundry
Thanks for putting me on your computer screen from 7:35-7:43
Cool video. Admiral FTW!
Cool video man
Blessed are those who think of others
So true
Junior was famous in the 70's on the Bucks. Robinson had no choice and had an obligation firm. Good for Vinnie! He started with less than them all. Magic didn't sell his share of the Dodgers. His initial investment was 50M when team was acquired for over 2B and it now worth 3.5B. Otherwise, many of his investments are in real estate and he sold all of his Starbucks franchises prior to the Dodgers acquisition.
You left off Loul Deng, he is worth $200m+ from real estate investing
I like the ending part about Shaq's lie. Laughed my heart out and knowingly clicked the subscribed button.
So the money I made in the Gamestop deal screwed over Michael Jordan? Hell yes that's what he gets for him making me watch him win a title against my Super Sonic's live at game 1,2,and 6 rocking my Shawn Kemp in game 1, Detlef Schrempf in game 2 and my Gary Payton jersey in game 6! Thank you Casey that that little tidbit put a smile on my face and instantly made my day better!
Haha! Nice
I doubt that's the real reason MJ lost all that cash. Guess the pandemic just hit the Hornets and his NASCAR Team just as hard as every other company around the world as well.
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 GOAT
Lmmfao
I loved the Sonics back then.
Screw MJ, he can afford it.
That was a good video!
Almost cuz he skipped #3
Great content
Intro was hilarious
Junior Bridgeman is a amazing guy. He hustled and was smart while many of these guys blow their money. Also, was in the trade for Kareem to Lakers.
My Cousin Cornell Warner Too Was In That Trade
David Robinson had no choice. You go to the Naval Academy you owe the Navy 4 years of service. He was fortunate they let him out of his obligation early.
Heard he was too tall (7ft.plus) fit in submarines
@@remainfocused8570 Yup that was the official reason for letting him go though if they wanted to jerk him around they could have found a place for him to do his time.
@@goldenarm2007 Thank you my Dude! Yup.... military,prison, marriage... Institutions that DEMAND their pound of flesh
@@remainfocused8570 they deliberately assigned him to submarine duty so he could have a loophole to end his commitment.
@@janconner2087 that makes sense🤔👍🏼
This guy is a great story teller!
Good info.....thanks
David Robinson and Tim Duncan ,The twin towers they were both respectful quiet and very humble on and off the court , they played together like two brothers taking on the neighborhood, they were sensational together ! They were Gamer's alright and I remember them having them great big smiles ,like they new something that nobody else in the game knew ! It was like they were just having to much fun out there !! Those were the good O days in NBA history !
Seeing my favorite player, the Birdman Chris Andersen, in the background clip at 8:13 was a pleasant surprise!

Spencer Haywood turned down 10% stock from Nike back when they started up. He would have been the richest athlete ever.

FYI - 10% charity reduces tax dramatically, so it is no surprise that players donating will be in the top 10

@@johnbenjamin2703 didn't understand the english you used - according to my understanding, charity allows you to have a tax reduction - so you can donate 1mil$ for example and don't pay for the share of the 1mil$ any tax.

As a basketball player!
Not for those of us who watched Wilt Chamberlain play => but i understand your comment/generation thinking so.....
I knew about Bridgeman, truly impressive story!

On the "I Am Athlete" show Dwyane Wade said he had $100 million. I guess he was being modest.
Not modest at all. He didn't say he was worth $100 million. I have $10,000 in the bank but with the equity in my home and some stocks I am worth a lot more than that.
Bridgeman still owns his Wendy’s, he’s made up to 600 million between the chili’s and Wendy’s investments. People claim he’s in the high percentile of ownership of the company because he invested when it first was getting started. But he doesn’t own as many Wendy’s to be the highest percentage owner since theirs thousands of Wendy’s in the USA. I feel like the new design they’ve done within the last two years or so may have been because of him.
Bridgeman process should be taught in all school of color.
People don't even realize he owns much more than Wendy's. He's legend in my city where he played college ball
@@dpeals86 oh yea I’m sure. He was smart for investing early. Their was another player who made the wrong choice that could’ve been worth 8billion dollars today and had 10% stake in Nike in the 70s when he played with the lakers. If he didn’t take the 100k instead of the percentage stake in Nike, this was even before they had their check symbol. It was a swoosh at the time. Granted 100k In the 70s was a lot of money, almost a million dollars. But he would’ve been the first Jordan type player to represent Nike before Jordan I’m a era that converse and adidas really ran the shoe market. I mean most top year players wore converse or adidas. The guy probably felt out of place at the time.
@@humphreyodiase5958 Honestly, I am pretty sure Bridgeman didn't intend this to happen. He probably bought a Wendy's to make sure he will still have a stream of income after retirement
But that a lot of great things happen from unintended consequences.

Donating to charity is how rich people avoid paying taxes. The tax laws are written by rich people to benefit rich people. When they donate to charity, they're not compromising their net worth. They're actually getting richer.

You forgot to mentioN Shaq also turned down mega contracts from Nike and eventually Reebook I believe to make his sneakers and made his own brand of sneakers for low income kids as well! I never knew about Hakeem doing that as well but thats real af!
He did start with Reebok tho. I remember those pump Shaq attack shoes when he first came into the league. They were everything

Federal Reserve Notes are the property of the Federal Reserve which is why you legally cannot deface, burn or counterfeit it's notes. These player's have an equitable interest in a debt instrument known as the Federal Reserve Note. Just because you have something in your possession does not mean you actually own it. The postal service would be one example of possession without ownership.
Facts what's crazy the Constitution State that we cannot print money we can only coin money, Federal reserve is international Bank we need get rid of it and go back too gold and silver standards
@@negusibe9232 You're right the Federal Government by law can only coin money.
This is why the Federal Reserve a private bank, through the Department of Printing and Engraving
commissions the creation of the Federal Reserve Notes, however the US Mint creates all the coins in circulation including American Gold and Silver Eagles.
I thought Junior was worth a billion now.
The opening remarks about how precious his time is was first used many years ago when a prior commentator told about how rich Bill Gates is.
That MJ conspiracy is crazy
Truly MJ have made more then 90 in his basketball career , I remember in 90,s his annual income was around 85 million 45million from bulls rest
From Nike , Gatorade , Hanes .
90 mil from basketball contracts not sponsorship endorsements 1.8 billion including partners like nike and gatorade
Damn junior's story is so inspiring, I'm tearing up a little. I'm in Canada so I'm planning to buy a Tim Hortons store ASAP
Holy smokes ! I wasn’t expecting the no hair lol
