Inside Michael Jordan’s $14.8 Million Palace That Still Remains Unsold Despite His Massive Net Worth

Over the course of time, successful athletes tend to invest in lavish real estate. This includes legendary NBA icon Michael Jordan, who remains one of the richest athletes in the world. Needless to say, he has been a proud owner of several big mansions.

That being said, Jordan and other athletes also choose to sell some properties – often those they do not use anymore. In MJ’s case, the six-time NBA champion now wants to sell his Illinois mansion.

Surprisingly, the house has reportedly been on the market since 2012.

Why would Michael Jordan’s mansion not sell?

Sometimes, fans seem to splurge on an item customized by their favorite celebrity. Michael Jordan’s $14.8 million house in Chicago, Illinois, despite countless customizations, has been on the market for years. As per reports, the customizations (leading to an increase in price) are one of the reasons the lavish house won’t sell.

The NBA icon has been living elsewhere for years, the property being on sale since before his second marriage. Jordan made the original purchase with Vanoy in 1991 for $2 million, gaining complete ownership after parting ways. While the 56-000-foot property was originally listed for $29 million, the price has gone down since.

The price was dropped to $21 million, and then $16 million. Currently, it has been $14.8 million since 2015.
