Billionaire Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods Were Accused of Using “Cheap” Tactics to Get Rich

Charles Barkley loves to take shots at  his arch nemesis Michael Jordan and now he  Tiger Woods is added to the pack. Two wealthy cheapos.

Essentially Sports Reports: There is no denying Michael Jordan is one of the greatest players ever. And with such success comes a fair share of haters.

Throughout his time in the NBA, MJ has had beefs with numerous players. One of them is Charles Barkley. The two were good friends before everything went south in their friendship.

Interestingly enough, Barkley went on to call Jordan cheap. However, he wasn’t the only one. Barkley accused Jordan, Tiger Woods, and Scottie Pippen of being cheap. The reason behind his allegations is their tipping habits.

Jordan is a billionaire business man. However, NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley feels Jordan is one of the cheapest persons.

The reason being? His tipping habits. According to Barkley, the reason behind the riches for Jordan, Woods and Scottie Pippen is the fact that they don’t tip.

Barkley said, “Oh yeah, [Jordan is] cheap. I think it’s important when you’re successful, the waiter, the waitresses, the blackjack dealers, they work extremely hard, they don’t get a great salary.”

He added, “The more successful you are, the more you should tip. I truly believe that. I think that’s why [Woods and Jordan are] rich. They don’t tip. That’s their secret to being rich, they don’t tip.”

This subject came to light when Barkley was asked about his tipping habits. He revealed that although he never went overboard, he always leaves a handsome amount as the tip.

With all the talk of Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods being cheap, you must be wondering. Who has the higher net worth?

Jordan wins the battle of net worths by a mile. While Woods has a net worth of around $800 million, MJ has a whopping net worth of around $2.2 billion!

This could all be true. But what could also be true is that both men are generous in other areas… Most wealthy men are VERY generous when it comes to the women in their lives, and that comes with great blessings.

Michael Jordan had one of the most expensive divorces in the world, paying his ex Juanita Jordan a $168 million divorce settlement in 2006, after 17 years of marriage.

Tiger Woods’s ex wife, Elin Nordegren, filed for divorce immediately after discovering the golfer’s infidelities with a New York nightclub worker. He paid Elin $100 Million dollars.

Most people would have to live 200 lifetimes just to tip the amount of these divorces.

They key here is to be the rich man’s WIFE. Not his wait staff.
