As the Bulls have aged since Michael Jordan’s departure, so too has his Chicagoland house.
Rumor has it that a TikTok video of the six-time NBA champion’s reportedly deserted mansion has surfaced again, this time showing the property in utter chaos. A private indoor basketball court belonging to Jordan is flooded, and one of his several kitchens appears to be being dismantled.
An ‘urban explorer’ uploaded the film to TikTok in January of this year, after having captured it some eight months earlier. This is starting to go viral on social media, even though Jordan’s camp has denied that this is his residence. The owner resides there, according to Bruce Bowers of the Bowers Realty Group, who spoke with SportBible. It’s not easy to sell. Putting your stamp on it would require a lot of effort.
Jordan listed the property in Highland Park, Illinois, for $29 million in 2012, as reported by Zillow. Price cuts in 2013 brought it down to $16 million, and it has remained at $14.8 million ever since.
Given the billionaire’s penchant for tobacco, it’s only natural that his mansion features a cigar lounge. This magnificent castle boasts nine bedrooms, nine bathrooms, thirty-two thousand square feet of living space, plus a tennis court, putting green, and an infinity pool all on a 7.39-acre site.
Although he has spent most of his retirement in North Carolina, he and his wife, the Cuban-American model Yvette Prieto, have been spotted on a Mediterranean yacht during the summer.
In August of 2023, Jordan ended his 13-year tenure as Hornets owner by selling his majority interest to a consortium headed by Rick Schnall and Gabe Plotkin.
After spending $275 million to buy the squad in 2010, the 61-year-old reportedly made a massive profit of $3 billion when he sold it to Schnall and Plotkin.
The Hornets still have Jordan as a minority owner.In addition to joining Forbes’ 400 list, which includes the 400 wealthiest Americans in the US, Jordan has cashed in on his controlling share in Charlotte.
