Michael Jordan reportedly turned down a $100 million deal to make an appearance at an undisclosed event for two hours.
According to CNN, David Falk said during an interview with WFAN’s “Boomer and Gio” that Michael Jordan was very picky when it came to signing deals and choosing projects. One of the deals was Jordan saying no to a $100 million deal to make a two-hour appearance.

“I brought him a deal three years ago for $100 million. All he had to do was, other than giving his name and likeness, make a one two-hour appearance to announce the deal and he turned it down,”
Falk said Wednesday that he admired Jordan for making those types of decisions to secure his brand:

“God bless him. He’s been so successful, it gives him an opportunity to do whatever the hell he wants or not to do things he doesn’t want. I really admire that. He’s very, very selective in the things he wants to be involved in.”
ESPN has released “The Last Dance”, a documentary series about Michael Jordan’s run with the Chicago Bulls from 1997-98 along with special appearances from his fellow players and special commentators.Â
