Michael Jordan is donating all $8.9 million he recently won in his lawsuit against a now defunct grocery store, 'Dominick's,' which used his likeness in a print ad years ago.
The victory scored him $8.9 million. Jordan hugged his lawyers after the decision was read.
"I'm so used to playing on a different court," a visibly delighted Jordan told reporters outside the courthouse.
It was never about the Benjamins according to him. Instead, he'll be donating every penny of the $8.9M to charity.
“It was never about money, since I planned to give the money to charity, it was a matter of integrity and honesty.”
“I’m pleased with today’s verdict”, Jordan said in a statement.
“I also hope the size of money will deter others from using someone’s identity and believing they will only pay a small penalty."
