That means I make more money on shoes than Michael Jordan.”Jordan sales come in at a whopping $3.1 billion USD annually, so we can only imagine the numbers he’s making. On top of that, Yeezy also added that, “We have 160 positions to fill by the end of the year. Yeezy will hit a billion dollars this year. It is the 2nd fastest growing company in history. It is a unicorn on its way to becoming a decacorn,” alluding to the vast growth and income of his clothing brand.
