The last Dance Docuseries, which premiered on April 19, came and shocked the world. Maybe there are a lot of nostalgic NBA fans, or maybe new basketball enthusiasts who want to learn about a legend. Or maybe we are all happy that there is some kind of sport on TV. Whatever the reason, many people are tuning in.
That means Michael Jordan is going to make a lot of money from it. According to Forbes, he is ready to earn between $ 3 and $ 4 million. And he is donating everything to charity.
It is not known which charities Jordan is donating to, although this comes immediately after another act of charity. He opened a medical clinic in North Carolina last fall.

The documentary shows another side of Jordan. One who talked trash during practice and was openly rude to people he didn't like, like former Bulls general manager Jerry Krause. But he also showed a kinder side, like when he was listening to his mother read a letter he wrote to her during college.
Jordan became a billionaire six years ago and is now worth $ 2.2 billion. He owns a majority stake in the Charlotte Hornets and has a sizable deal with Nike, which includes a $ 4 royalty for each Air Jordan shoe sold.
The last Dance It will air over the course of five weeks this spring. The docuseries was originally scheduled for the NBA Finals, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the release date was delayed. The move seems to have worked, with 6.1 million viewers tuning in to the first two episodes.
