Having Taken $14,000,000 Hit, Law Enforcement Gets Involved as Billionaire Michael Jordan Allegedly Becomes a Crime Victim

NBA legend Michael Jordan is one of the most popular sports personalities in the world. But he likes to keep a very low profile when it comes to the media and public attention. However, Jordan’s name recently got dragged into the media after he reportedly became the victim of a crime. Law enforcement authorities had to get involved as well.

With everything that he has achieved, it is tough to imagine that there’s something even the great Michael Jordan can’t do. However, there is one thing that made a hefty $14 million dent in His Airness’ massive $2.2 billion empire.

Teenager charged for breaking into Michael Jordan’s mansion

Yesterday it was reported by several media outlets that someone had broken into Michael Jordan’s Chicago mansion. The reports said that an 18-year-old named Raiden Hagedorn was arrested by law enforcement authorities over charges of trespassing.

Other than criminal trespass, the teenager was also charged with 2 counts of criminal damage to the property. Police officials were alerted after Jordan’s neighbors suspected some unusual activity inside the property premises. No other harm was inflicted since MJ and his family do not live on that property anymore.

Although, the property has been on the market for over 13 years now, Jordan has been looking for potential buyers and is yet to make a final deal. The luxury mansion is personalized as per the NBA legend’s taste and its valuation has taken a hit of about $14 million over the years, with the asking price of the property depreciating significantly with time. In 2012, the listed price was $29 million, which has now been reduced to a little under $15 million.

The lavish mansion was also used for the video shoot of the song ‘Franchise’ by rapper Travis Scott. With all the history attached to it, the property is waiting to meet its new owners. However, interest among buyers has rekindled after the Netflix documentary The Last Dance was released back in 2020.

Michael Jordan is also known for his smart business acumen. However, he is finding it difficult to sell one of his most expensive properties. The reason for a lack of interested buyers has been ascribed to heavy pricing compared to other houses in the area and the several customizations MJ had made in the mansion. The 60-year-old had offered an impressive collection of Air Jordan sneakers to lure in buyers with little to no effect.

Jordan has not lived in his mansion since 2012. Some of the features of the facility include nine bedrooms, a cigar room, a pool, a tennis court, and 19 baths. It also includes a full-sized basketball court.
