Michael Jordan has agreed to sell his majority stake in his NBA team the Charlotte Hornets.
The Hornets are valued at $3 billion, per ESPN — more than 10 times the sum Jordan paid in 2010.
Michael Jordan could bag a billion-dollar windfall after he agreed to sell his NBA team for what's likely be a huge premium on the price he paid 13 years ago.
Jordan previously sold a minority stake in the Hornets to Plotkin, who is the founder of investment firm Tallwoods Capital, and Daniel Sundheim in 2019.
Rapper J. Cole is also part of the group that will buy Jordan's majority stake, the Hornets said.
