Michael Jordan's mansion finally sold after 12 years on market
Michael Jordan's residence in Highland Park, located in the Chicago metropolitan area, has found a new owner after almost 12 years on the market. The initial asking price in 2012 was 22 million pounds, but it was reduced to 11.2 million dollars in 2015.
Michael Jordan’s residence waited for almost 12 years to find a buyer. That much time passed from its listing to the finding of a purchaser. According to the portal "TMZ Sports", the selling price of the residence owned by the NBA legend has not been disclosed.
Construction of the residence began in 1995. The six-time NBA champion with the Chicago Bulls (1991-1993 and 1996-1998) planned an estate with 19 bedrooms, a library, and even a particular cigar-smoking room.
Recreational facilities are also abundant on Jordan's estate. There is a basketball court, tennis court, pool, and indoor gym. Three garages, capable of accommodating several dozen cars, were planned for a luxury car enthusiast like Jordan.
The residence's entrance gate is adorned with the number 23, referring to the number Michael Jordan wore while playing for the Chicago Bulls.
Michael Jordan's star still shines brightly
Currently, the 61-year-old two-time Olympic champion (1984 in Los Angeles and 1992 with the Dream Team in Barcelona) lives in Florida with his second wife, Yvette Prieto, and their twin daughters. Despite the passage of time, Jordan remains an iconic figure in basketball.
His star shone again after the release of the "Last Dance" documentary about him on Netflix in 2020. The high prices of memorabilia and clothing associated with the star did not accelerate the sale of his estate, nor did they stop the sharp drop in its price.
