Micheal Jordan makes $400M a year from Jordan Brand because he had originally turned down Nike to sign with Adidas but his mom disagreed with him and urged him to listen to her and sign with Nike.
Nike offered Jordan $500k per year and his own shoe line but his mom wanted him to have equity in the company instead.
