Michael Jordan, the Chicago Bulls legend with a net worth of $2.2 billion, has long struggled with finding genuine relationships amidst his fame and fortune. Many are keen to benefit from their association with the six-time NBA champion, making true friendships rare for him. Consequently, Jordan usually entrusts his friendship to those from before his stardom. One such individual is George Koehler, who Jordan befriended during his rookie season.
Koehler, a native Chicagoan, met Jordan when he had just been drafted to the Bulls. At the time, he owned a limo company which came in handy for Jordan who was on the brink of fame. Providing a personal car and driver service, Koehler became integral in Jordan’s life. He referred to himself as Jordan’s 'personal slave' because “There are a million people in this world who would love to hang out with Michael. Fortunately, I am a friend, and as long as he wants me around, I will be around.”
