MJ single-handedly revitalized a downward spiraling Nike back in 1984 when he signed a $2.5 million deal for them to create the Air Jordan sports shoe line. Since then, Jordans have become a premier shoe, earning Nike $1 billion in annual sales as of 2009, according to Forbes. You can best believe Michael is taking home a chunk of that change with his annual cut estimated to be between $25-80 million depending on sales.
