It's no secret that Michael Jordan'sFake ugg boots done pretty well for himself in the business world since ending his Hall of Fame career with the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards in 2003.
Yep, that's right: M.J. made more money from sneaker sales last year than he did from his on-court work during one of the greatest professional careers in the history of sports. (Woe unto those who ever doubted whether it was the shoes.)

As many have noted, there's a caveat here. The total amount of Jordan's salaries during his 15 years with the Bulls and Wizards — whether the right number's just over $90.2 million, according to Basketball-Reference.com, or $94 millionKnock off uggs, according to Forbes — isn't adjusted for inflation; the $3.25 million Jordan made during the 1991-92 season, for example, had the same buying power as $5.69 million today, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' CPI Inflation Calculator. (What's really funny: if you try to find out how much M.J.'s record-setting $33.1 million salary for the '97-'98 season would be worth in 2015 dollars, the calculator responds, "Error: Please use values less than 10,000,000." I'm sure Jerry Reinsdorf would agree.)

(Of note: the NBA recently told Mike he has to separate his church from his state when it comes to Jordan Brand dealings with NBA players.)

During a report this weekend on the mammoth money invested in the shoe game and a Brooklyn Musem exhibit dedicated to the art of sneaker culture,fake uggs for sale PBS' "NewsHour" provided pretty remarkable way to crystallize just how financially successful Jordan's post-playing career has been:
