The Real Reason Nobody Wants To Buy Michael Jordan's Mansion

everyone might want to be like Mike but apparently no one wants to buy Michael Jordan's Chicago mansion it's actually pretty hilarious that the billionaire can't get the property off his hands it's been on the market for eight years and was originally listed for twenty nine million dollars it's now listed for fourteen point nine million dollars which is almost half price why does no one want this massive home according to Zillow the thirty two thousand six hundred and eighty-three square-foot home is in Highland Park and comes complete with nine bedrooms 19 bathrooms a regulation-size basketball court an infinity pool a putting green a tennis court and a cigar room complete with poker tables the Zillow listing claims Jordans property has quote every conceivable luxury amenity and is a physical monument to his tireless dedication and hard work case in point the aforementioned basketball court includes his Air Jordan logo the gym is an immaculate testament to Jordans athleticism and there's even a gate with his iconic number 23 on it so this is Michael Jordan's house the place has literally everything so why won't anyone buy it it's the definition of baller no pun intended and it would be kind of cool to live in His Airness --is not so humble abode but maybe that's the problem the house is so well-known and distinctive and literally branded by Jordan with the 23 gate and all you'd have to struggle to really make it your own and that might not be worth it it takes a certain kind of person who would move in as is and be okay with every nook and cranny reeking of Jordans taste not that it's bad taste but you probably have to either be a really big fan or be prepared to undertake some significant renovations bottom line it's not for everyone Michael Jordan's home is arguably a monument to his massive ego which to be fair is well-earned Jordan is notoriously competitive and while his personality can be kind of rough around the edges sometimes take for example the legend that Jordan spits on food so that no one else can eat it last dance director Jason Ayer said on his Jalen and Jacoby after-show that folks think that's why no one else got sick from eating pizza on the infamous night before the 1997 NBA Finals when Jordan got food poisoning there's no way his friends didn't have a slice unless as suggested by Air Jordans spit on the pie when the pizza shows up Michael says everybody do not touch this pizza this is mine you didn't wait for me don't touch this so he spits on the pizza there's another tale of Jordan spitting on cinnamon rolls for Sports Illustrated which just goes to show you Jordan likes to mark his territory and he outfitted his house to suit every need in hobby he essentially spit all over a twenty nine million dollar mansion that's not a bad theory as to why no one will buy his home right while Jordan's old mansion in Chicago remains on the market he currently lives in Jupiter Florida his home there is equally massive and likely just as catered to his interests as his place in Highland Park according to echo fine properties MJ lives in the Bears club an exclusive golf community created by famed golfer Jack Nicklaus proving that Jordans true love might just be the putting green his home is surrounded by trees so it's hard to get a look but it sits on three acres of land and there are three structures aside from the home a guard house guest house and pool house the home reportedly has 11 bedrooms entire athletic wing with a basketball court and gym in the cigar friendly media room he reportedly paid 4.8 million dollars for the land and another 7.6 million dollars for construction which makes it the most expensive home and the Palm Beaches that's not facing the water at least the Chicago crib has a pool with an island a door from the Playboy Mansion in a complete set of Air Jordans that MJ offered to throw in with the property just in the name of getting someone to finally take the place off his hands check out one of our newest videos right here Plus even more Nikki Swift videos about your favorite celebs are coming soon subscribe to our YouTube channel and hit the bell so you don't miss a single one [Music]
