Michael Jordan (1984) – Co Rentmeester

Shot by Co Rentmeester for Life, Michael Jordan’s legs almost split mid-air, and his left hand reached for the skies. Although there are tons of photos of the basketball star, this one is one of the most iconic simply because Nike used it for its logo of Air Jordan.

Named ‘The Jumpman’ the image would soon be imprinted on athleticwear and caps. The Air Jordan line proved lucrative, raking in $3.2 billion in 2014 despite a copyright infringement case filed by Rentmeester. Jordan, who is regarded as the greatest NBA superstar, has an estimated net worth of $1.6 billion.
