Michael Jordan still makes 9 figures off sneakers

Is Jordan going to take all that money with him when he dies?

No shit. Nike just came out (a few months ago) with a Marvin the Martian Michael Jordan set of tennis shoes (multiple styles) and accessories (shirts, socks, etc), to commemorate his role in Space Jam.

Go to ebay, do a search for Marvin the Martian, and all this crap is about HALF the results you'll get. Seems a bunch of people got in on pre-orders, and are now selling them at a premium price. Or regular price. I have no idea, since I have never, and would never, pay that much for a pair of shoes!

Is he a billionaire yet? Everyone talks about how Tiger Woods or Lebron would be the first billionaire athlete.

Jordan's new wife vs Magic's wife. Jordan lost around $200 million on his divorce settlement? But Jordan is a billionaire on paper. His equity in the Hornets is worth $500 million and his assets out of that (cash, airplanes, homes) are estimated to be worth around $600 - $700 million.
