The pandemic hasn't been financially kind to retired basketball superstar Michael Jordan.
But the mega-rich sporting legend has had a reversal of fortune thanks to footballer Lionel Messi's move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain.
Jordan was the biggest name in sport during his heyday and he is now heavily linked to his current heir to that title.
Jordan, a sub-brand of Nike, formed a sponsorship agreement with PSG three years ago. His logo is on the PSG shirt and he gets a five per cent cut of sales meaning he has already scooped $10m since Messi's arrival.
