Have you ever wondered what its like to live the good life? To wake up in the morning knowing you can just lay in bed all day and still make bread? To have the ability to go anywhere at anytime or buy anything at you want on a whim. Only a small amount of the populace knows what it's like to live like this, and one of those fellows is Michael Jordan.

In a video published by Business Insider, fans are given insight into how Jordan — who officially retired from the NBA in 1999 — continues to earn his money while also giving us a glimpse as to how his "Airness" also spends his money. Right off the bat, the video shows that Jordan makes $100 million dollars annually in Nike royalties alone. The next slide shows one of Jordan's savvy business investments with the purchase of the Charlotte Bobcats  — now known as the Hornets once again — for $275 million dollars in 2010. The team is now reportedly worth $750 million dollars. 

So with all that cash, what is Jordan copping? Well, how about a $12.8 million dollar Florida mansion or a private jet painted in the colors of his alma mater, the University of North Carolina. If he's traveling by air, he's going to need travel options for land and sea, too, right? While Jordan's car collection has been well-documented, he also owns a custom golf cart to get around the greens of his country club that the video reports, he isn't too happy with, and a 154 foot mega yacht that he's named "Mr. Terrible."

And while most us will never be able to experience most of these luxuries, one purchase that Jordan constantly makes that many of his fans and sneakerheads can relate to - but will probably never admit to owning - is a quality pair #NTdenim.
