At this point everyone in the world knows how much of a competitor Michael Jordan is.
While he’s known as one of the best basketball players of all time, basketball might not even be his favorite sport. He played both basketball and baseball professionally, but some of his biggest exploits have come on the golf course.
For years fans heard stories about how much MJ would bet on the golf course. Well, a few years back, former NBA star Charles Barkley revealed one of the massive wagers Jordan put out.
“We’d be playing golf with certain people, for a couple hundred dollars a hole, nothing big, and he’d be playing some guy for $100,000,” Barkley said of Jordan. “He’s like, ‘Charles, pick that up.’ I’m like, ‘This putt is for $200.’ He’s like, ‘Pick that up, Charles, get out of my way, you’re in my line.’ I’m like, ‘How much is that putt for?’ He’s like, ‘$300,000.’ I said, ‘Let me get out of your line.’ It was crazy man.”
Jordan reportedly makes $145 million a year and has a net worth close to $2 billion so $100,000 bets are “chump change” for him, like Barkley said.
