Michael Jordan plans to donate all of his earnings from ESPN's "The Last Dance" to charitable causes, Forbes' Kurt Badenhausen reports.

Jordan is expected to earn between $3 million and $4 million from the production, Badenhausen adds.

"The Last Dance" recounts the Hall of Famer's storied playing career, providing never-before-seen footage from the 1997-98 season when he won his sixth and final championship with the Chicago Bulls. The first two episodes of the documentary released this past Sunday averaged a whopping 6.1 million viewers, making it the most-watched documentary in ESPN history.

Episodes 3 and 4 of the 10-part series are set to air in the United States on April 26 at 9 p.m. ET. For those watching internationally, episodes will be made available on Netflix the following morning at 3 a.m. ET.
