Michael Jordan's Net Worth Jumps $350 Million To $1.65 Billion

迈克尔-乔丹的身价暴涨3.5亿美元，跃升至16.5亿美元。

Despite the lack of on-court success, the Hornets have been a slam dunk for Jordan as an investment. Jordan was a minority investor in the club starting in 2006 before he paid a grossed-up value of $175 million in 2010 for the team—mostly inherited debt—along with the promise to fund tens of millions of dollars in future operating losses. Forbes valued the teamin February at $1.05 billion, including $150 million in debt. Jordan owns roughly 90% of the Hornets.

尽管黄蜂队场上表现欠佳，它对于乔丹来说仍是一笔收益巨大的投资。乔丹自2006年起成为球队为数不多的投资者之一，他在2010年为球队支付了合计1.75亿美元——多数是遗留下来的债务——并且承诺投资数千万美元作为球队未来的运营开销。福布斯二月份对球队的估值约为10.5亿美元，包括1.5亿的债务。而乔丹持有黄蜂队将近90%的股份。

The soaring team value and continued success of Nike's Jordan Brand pushed Jordan’s net worth to $1.65 billion in Forbes’ billionaires' list this month. The tally is up $350 million from 12 months earlier. Jordan ranks as the 1,477th wealthiest person in the world, up 90 spots from last year. His rank in the U.S. is No. 455 (the cutoff for the Forbes 400 was $2 billion last year).

飙升的球队价值和AJ的持续成功使乔丹的身价在本月福布斯亿万富翁名单中提升至16.5亿美元。这一数字相较一年前上涨了3.5亿美元。乔丹在世界富人榜中排名第1477，比去年提升了90名；在美国国内排名第455（福布斯排行榜前400名资产最低为20亿美元）。

You miss every shot you don’t take, he went all in. So did the Utah Jazz owner Who just ran a Toyota dealership net work in Utah before he bought the team.

不出手哪知有没有，而乔丹则是放手一搏梭哈了。爵士队老板也一样，他在买下爵士队之前只是个犹他地区丰田经销网络的负责人。

that’s so much fucking money like at that point what are you doing with all of that? you could drop like 20 million and not even notice

真特么巨款啊，说实话，钱多到这个份上，怎么花呢？这就算丢了2000W可能都注意不到吧。

If Jordan’s reputation of stinginess is true he’d probably notice if the cashier was a penny short on his change.

如果乔丹吝啬的名声属实的话，那他的账户里哪怕少了一个子儿都会被注意到。

In his case, he's not really doing anything with it. It's equity in the Hornets which Forbes has decided are worth more than last time they did their rankings. This is the case with most billionaires. They don't keep that money in a checking account, it's tied up in stock or other assets.

对乔丹来说，这笔3.5亿美元的暴涨实际上也无用武之地。这只代表福布斯这次评估黄蜂队的市值比上次要高。其实对于大多是亿万富翁来说都是这样。他们不会把钱存在银行账户中，而是会绑在股票或其他资产中。

Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos and many others have nearly their whole net worth tied up in shares of the company they run. That is how one gets to be so wealthy. Huge risk and a huge payoff.

马克-扎克伯格、杰夫-贝佐斯和很多其他人的全部身价都与他们运营的公司的股票捆绑在一起。这就是他们富有的原因，高风险高回报。

That said, wouldn’t at least part of that value evaluation be about the revenue the Hornets are generating. Implying Jordan could (While not billionaire income) be managing a profitable franchise?

Or is that too much to extrapolate from one number?

话虽如此，至少有一部分价值评估是来自于黄蜂队产生的收益吧？也就表明乔丹（虽然不是十亿级别收入）运营的这家俱乐部有利润？

还是我过度解读这个数字了？

[–]gray262 42 指標 10小時前

No, you’re right. Most valuations factor in the discounted cash flow of a business to come up with a number that an investor would pay in a competitive marketplace. It’s difficult to know that from this estimate though, because the NBA teams/franchises are so skewed because of the brand value associated with them. Even ones like the Hornets that haven’t experienced a lot of success in the past few years.

你说的是对的，大多数的评估都会考虑企业的贴现现金流，以此得出假想的投资者在有竞争的市场环境中会愿意为其支付的数额。但从这样的评估中得出你上述结论是很困难的，因为NBA球队通常会受到与其相关的品牌价值的影响而导致数值虚高。就连像黄蜂这样过去几年都不怎么成功的球队也是如此。

Just to put this in perspective, if I calculated this correctly, he is apart of the richest 0.000020% of the world population.

我这么跟大家说吧，如果我计算的没错，乔丹是这世界上最富有的前0.00002%。

[–]Celticsnoposters 17 指標 5小時前

There are way more. This is just the number that Forbes is able to track. But there are tons of families with dynastic wealth who keep everything low key. I used to work at an investment bank that had a "private banking" arm, and lots of our clients had well over a billion in assets and were nowhere to be found online.

比那多多了，这些都只是福布斯榜能查到的。但还有一堆家庭有世代传承的财富，却一直保持低调。我以前曾在一家投资银行工作，我们有一个“私人银行”分支业务。我们许多客户都有着远超十亿的资产，但在网上根本查不到。

before he paid a grossed-up value of $175 million in 2010 for the team—mostly inherited debt

“他在2010年为球队支付了合计1.75亿美元——多数是遗留下来的债务。”

I heard a rumor that he barely paid out any money out of his bank account but merely absorbed the debt under his name since the Jordan name was so powerful.

Similar to that story of Gary Payton showing off his new car and Jordan saying something to the effect of "Yeah, but you have to pay for yours"

我听过一个流言，说乔丹几乎没有怎么自掏腰包，只是以他的名义吸收了黄蜂的债务，因为“乔丹”这个名字的影响力太强大了。

就像当加里-佩顿向乔丹炫耀自己的新车时，乔丹说类似这样的话：“是很酷，但你毕竟还是要自己买车。”

I never really get it when the super wealthy go up or down a bit, like how does it impact them? Does it just add to their ego if it goes up? Personally I hope they help out the poor and needy and put the $$ to good rather than just building their empire and net worth. But what would I know

我一直不懂，这种无穷的财富上升一点或者下降一点，对他们本人有什么影响吗？财富增长是否只会增加他们的自负呢？个人而言，我更希望他们去帮助穷人和有需求的人，把钱用到好的地方，而不是仅仅用来搭建自己的王朝、积累自己的财富。但是，咳，我又知道啥呀。

He still won't tip though.

Tipping shouldn't be a thing in most cases to begin with. It's fucking stupid.

Pay your damn employees a fair wage so they don't rely on tips. And only certain situations if someone chooses to do it should it tipping be a thing.

小费这在多数情况下本来也不该是个习俗。太特么蠢了。

还不如给你的员工一份得体的薪水，这样他们也不用依赖小费讨生活了。而只有在一些特定的场合里，如果有人愿意付小费，那小费才该被允许。

I hate that it's an accepted norm, as something that is mandatory for the customer to pay because their fucking employer can't pay them a liveable wage. Why is the onus on the customer?

我是真讨厌小费被社会所默认，就像是强制消费者支付小费一样，原因其实就是那些员工的雇主给他们的薪水不能支撑他们生活。这个义务凭什么加给消费者？

Society is a dick for forcing people to need tips. If you can't afford to pay them more, then you shouldn't be in business.

这个社会强迫人们付小费，是真特么恶心。如果你不能支付员工更多的薪水，那你就别做生意。

Tipping shouldn't be a thing but it is a thing, and workers rely on that money. Sing that song all you want, go out and vote for people who want to increase minimum wage, but pay your goddamn tips (especially if you're worth $1.65bn).

小费不应该成为文化，但它已经是个不成文的习俗了。很多服务员都靠这笔钱过日子呢。你爱咋唱反调就咋唱反调，你可以给想要增加最低薪水的政客们投票，但你特么该付小费的时候还是麻溜付了（尤其如果你的身价高达16.5亿美元）。
