I wouldn't doubt it. He's 1 year older than I am and is just a tad bit richer.
He's the only athlete that really lives up to the hype from the start. He signed a what, 40+ million deal with Nike out of high school? He said he's getting schooled by "Uncle Warren" too on how to make money grow. (Warren Buffet for those not familiar).
I think MJ had a great shot at reaching that threshold if he didn't have his gambling problems and if the wife didn't take half of his stuff when they split.
It was funny because Tiger was projected to become the first billionaire athlete prior to this mess. They were waiting for it too. They were talking about Kobe messing up, and Vick messing up. At the time, they were talking about how clean Tiger's record was. LOL now, not so much anymore.
