Michael Jordan once turned down $100,000,000 for 2-hour appearance
Michael Jordan曾经拒绝过一场出席两小时1亿镁的邀约
A $100M payday is indeed considered life-changing money for most people. But
if you’re worth $2.1 billion like basketball icon Michael Jordan, you have
the luxury of turning down such lucrative opportunities.
对于许多人来说，1亿镁会被认为是改变人生的金钱。但是若你是像Michael Jordan那样，
身价21亿，或许就可以有那样的豪气去拒绝可以拿到大笔银两的机会。
In an appearance on WFAN’s Boomer and Gio radio program on Sunday, MJ’s
agent David Falk shared how Michael Jordan once said no to a two-hour
appearance that would have netted him a cool $100,000,000 payout.
在星期天的广播节目上，MJ的经纪人David Falk在节目上分享了一个有关MJ拒绝了一次只
要出席两小时就可以赚1亿镁的机会。
“I brought him a deal three years ago for $100 million. All he had to do
was, other than giving his name and likeness, make a one two-hour appearance
to announce the deal and he turned it down,” Falk shared.
“三年前我帮他找到了一个合约，价值1亿镁，而他所要做的，不用给签名或肖像权，只要
到那边出席，两个小时，宣布这个合约就好，但是他拒绝了，”Falk说。
“God bless him. He’s been so successful, it gives him an opportunity to do
whatever the hell he wants or not to do things he doesn’t want. I really
admire that. He’s very, very selective in the things he wants to be involved
in,” he furthered.
“上帝保佑他，他一直都如此成功，所以这让他有这样的机会去做他想做的，然后也可以
不去做他不想做的，我真的很欣羡他。他对于他想做的事情都非常审慎，”Falk说。
Even before he accumulated his now immense wealth, Michael Jordan has been
extremely picky on which brands to partner with. Jordan has lent his image to
big-time companies over the years but has also denied a lot of prospects that
do not fit in with his image.
即使在他累积他目前的财富之前，MJ对于他要代言的厂牌就已经非常挑剔的了。过去这些
年，他与一些大公司有签约，但是他也拒绝了许多跟他形象不合的潜在公司。
To be fair, a $100,000,000 check for two hours of work would be a no-brainer
for almost everyone. However, money isn’t really a motivator for Michael
Jordan these days.
持平的说，一张1亿镁的支票，只要出席两个小时，这对许多人来说大概不用脑子就知道怎
么选的。然而，对于现在的MJ来说，金钱不是主要的动机。
Apart from his numerous investments, Jordan rakes in around the same amount
annually from royalties with the Jordan Brand.
除了他其他众多的投资外，Jordan光从他的Jordan牌，每年就可以收到那样金额的权利
金。
It is worth noting that Michael Jordan also opted to give his entire salary
from the Washington Wizards in 2001 to the victims of the September 11
attacks. He will also donate all his proceeds from “The Last Dance”
documentary.
更值得注意的是，MJ在911攻击发生后，就把他2001年在巫师时的薪水全部捐给受害的
人，他也把这次从纪录片"The Last Dance"所得到的钱全数捐给慈善单位。
