The Blueprint
Michael Jordan didn't get rich off his rookie contract.
In 1984, Nike signed a rookie to a five-year, $2.5 million shoe deal — and added something no other brand offered: a royalty on every Air Jordan sold. Nike projected $3 million in sales over three years. Year one alone did $126 million.
Jordan bet on a stake instead of a bigger flat check. Nike has paid him an estimated $2.35 billion since — nearly 80% of his career earnings — and he's still reportedly pulling around $300 million a year from that same royalty, decades after he last played. That's the model BILT is built on: not a one-time NIL check, but equity that vests, compounds, and keeps paying long after the deal is signed.
