Michael Jordan puts his astounding fortune wisely after having opened his fourth family health clinic earlier this year.
The NBA legend, which is worth 3 billion dollars, had already created three free health clinics for health clinics not insured in her native North Carolina before opening her last in Wilmington in February.
The 62 -year -old man opened two clinics for the first time in Charlotte in 2019 and 2020 before making a 10 million dollars subsidy to obtain two others in his hometown of Wilmington – which he opened alongside his mother Deloris in May 2024.
And an initiate insisted on the fact that charity work comes from the goodness of the heart of the basketball icon.
“He has a vision to develop across the country and would like to see other celebrities to follow his example,” a source told in Touch. “He wants to leave a lasting brand with his heritage which is more than basketball.”
“Michael does not do this for advertising or a kind of tax relief, this is something that really cares for him,” added the initiate. “He saw the first hand how difficult it is for disadvantaged communities to have access to good medical care, and he has sworn to do what he can help.”

The champion of the NBA six times would also be “practical” in the creation of clinics, getting involved personally to ensure that they are equipped with the best doctors and are easily accessible to families who need it.
The second medical clinic of the Michael Jordan family from Novant Health in Wilmington, which he opened on February 19, has 12 patients of patients on 7,300 square feet.
Many patients who visit Jordan’s clinics have “never had a primary care provider before” and thank his health professionals for “helping to restore health and a feeling of hope”.
Jordan gave an emotional discourse at the opening of his third clinic last year, pouring a few tears while he was talking about the importance of the cause and the place.
“It’s good to be at home above all. This is what this clinic is used by, when families are unable to support, we are there to support, “he said, alongside his mother.
“You don’t have money?” Never mind. We will do our best to support you, because this is what happened to me. This is where I got it.
‘… We did it in Charlotte, now we will do it here in Wilmington, which makes him even more special because it is at home. This is where I come and no matter how you see Michael Jordan, that’s where I started, that’s where I’m going to be part of it.
