Michael Jordan is worth more than $2 billion, so the following statement may not shock you.

The former Chicago Bulls star turned down a $100 million offer for a two-hour appearance, according to his long-time agent David Falk.

The agent appeared on WFANs Boomer and Gio to share Jordan stories as the nation is consumed by The Last Dance, the 10-part documentary on the championship run of the 1997-98 Chicago Bulls.

The documentary will air on ESPN, while ESPN2 will broadcast a censored version. The documentary can be live streamed on Hulu + Live and Sling.

I brought him a deal three years ago for $100 million, Falk said Wednesday morning. All he had to do was, other than giving his name and likeness, make one two-hour appearance to announce the deal and he turned it down.

Falk said Jordans been so successful, he can "do whatever the hell he wants or not to do."

Jordan also once turned down $7 million to play in a one-day golf tournament in Asia, he said.

The agent, on the other hand, did confirm the documentary, which debuts episodes 5 and 6 on Sunday, will discuss Jordan and his gambling habits. There has been a conspiracy theory for years that Jordans 18-month retirement from basketball in 1993 was actually a suspension for gambling.

(Former NBA commissioner David) Stern comes on and basically says its complete hogwash that he suspended Michael for 18 months when he retired, Falk said. At the end of the day, Michael was almost Teflon. Theres very few things people criticized him for. The gambling thing was it. He loves to gamble. Hes an extremely competitive guy. If he loses $150,000 playing golf, big freaking deal. If I told him tomorrow, Hey, Ive got an appearance for you for five minutes for $150,000, hed laugh at me. If it was $1,500,000, he wouldnt do it.

So yes, he lost money in gambling and it sort of had a little bit of a black eye for five minutes. He apologized and the thing went away. But any of these Oliver Stone conspiracy theories that somehow it pushed him out of basketball were ridiculous.
