These figures have become a popular subject of online discussion because of their extraordinary size.
However, the precise terms remain unverified. Without an authenticated copy of the agreement or an official explanation from the couple, it is not possible to establish whether the figures are accurate or how any potential payment would actually be calculated.
Most importantly, the reports describe a possible divorce-related financial arrangement, not a confirmed annual salary or payment.
The reported increase after ten years has become one of the most frequently repeated details of the story.
Jordan and Prieto celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary in April 2023. By October 2026, they had been married for more than thirteen years.
That milestone has encouraged renewed discussion of the alleged agreement.
Some online accounts have presented the $5 million figure as though it were an automatic payment for every year of marriage after the tenth anniversary. Others have interpreted the reported terms differently.
Without access to the actual contract, neither interpretation can be confirmed.
The distinction matters because a potential settlement calculation is not the same as money being transferred every year.
It would therefore be misleading to claim that Prieto has received millions of dollars annually simply because the couple has remained married.
There is also no verified public evidence that the couple is preparing to divorce.
The reported figures should be treated as unconfirmed media claims rather than established financial facts.
Jordan’s earlier marriage to Juanita Vanoy provides additional context for discussions about his financial planning.
The couple married in 1989 and had three children together. Their relationship lasted seventeen years before they announced their divorce in December 2006.
The separation attracted widespread attention because Jordan was already one of the most recognizable athletes in the world.
Media reports at the time discussed the family’s assets, custody arrangements, and financial settlement.
The divorce settlement was widely reported to be approximately $168 million, making it one of the largest celebrity divorce settlements discussed at the time.
