Now that he’s a 56-year-old grandfather and is 16 years removed from his NBA playing career, Michael Jordan is approaching life differently.

In addition to celebrating the birth of his first grandson, Rakeem Michael Christmas, Jordan has now donated some $30 million over the last five years to activist projects, including $5 million to the National Museum of African American History and Culture, at least $3 million to hurricane relief, millions to Make-A-Wish and millions to Chicago-area-charities, according to an interview .

“My purpose for doing it is because I see a certain need,” he told Melvin. “I feel a certain warmth about it. If I feel like I’m making a difference, that’s all that matters to me.”

Jordan, who helped lead the North Carolina Tar Heels to the 1982 NCAA championship before winning six NBA titles with the Chicago Bulls, also helped support not one, but two health clinics for the under-served in his home state of North Carolina.

“I’ll be able to give back to the community that’s supported me over the years when I was playing the game of basketball to now where I’m a part of this community,” he said at the event’s groundbreaking.

“I give for the sake of giving, not to advertise or not to promote,” he told Melvin.

Jordan, the owner of the Charlotte Hornets and the face of Nike’s Jordan Brand, is worth an estimated $1.9 billion, making him the fourth-richest African-American in the world, Melvin reported.
