Michael Jordan’s Chicagoland mansion is aging like the post-MJ Bulls.
Footage of the six-time NBA champion’s home has allegedly resurfaced again in a TikTok clip, apparently showing the abandoned property in complete disarray. Jordan’s private indoor basketball court is flooded while one of his multiple kitchens looks like it’s in the process of being disassembled.
The footage was recorded about eight months ago by an ‘urban explorer’ and posted on TikTok in January. Now it’s gaining traction across social media – despite representatives for Jordan saying it is not his house.
‘It’s clearly his home,’ Bruce Bowers of the Bowers Realty Group told SportBible. ‘It’s a tough sell. There’s a lot of work that would have to be done to make it your own.’
Jordan put the Highland Park, Illinois property on the market in 2012 for $29 million, according to Zillow. The price was slashed to $16 million in 2013 and has been sitting at $14.8 million for the last few years.
Naturally the home includes a cigar room for the billionaire tobacco enthusiast. There is also an infinity pool, putting green and tennis court, not to mention a 7.39 acre lot which surrounds the nine-bedroom, 19-bathroom, 32,683-square-foot palace.

Jordan has primarily lived in his native North Carolina in retirement, although he’s been seen spending the summer with his wife, Cuban-American model Yvette Prieto, aboard a yacht in the Mediterranean.
Jordan brought an end to his 13-year reign as Hornets owner by offloading his majority stake in the franchise to a group led by Rick Schnall and Gabe Plotkin back in August of 2023.
The sale to Schnall and Plotkin was said to be worth a staggering $3billion, marking a colossal profit for the 61-year-old given he forked out $275million to purchase the team back in 2010.

And after cashing in on his majority stake in Charlotte, Jordan has entered Forbes’ 400 list – consisting of the wealthiest Americans with in the US.
His net worth is now understood to have surpassed the $3b mark, meaning he has become the first ever athlete to be included in Forbes’ exclusive club.
Jordan remains the wealthiest athlete in history after combining his iconic career in the NBA with some of the biggest commercial deals ever off the court.
The most famous of those brand partnerships is of course with Nike, with whom he’s partnered on the Jordan brand.
The former Chicago Bulls superstar’s most recent yearly royalty check with Nike was reportedly worth around $260m.

He collects a reported five percent of all revenue on his famous Air Jordan sneakers, which were first released back in 1984.
In its latest annual report, Nike recorded $6.6b in annual wholesale revenue through the Jordan Brand, which was up 28.6 percent from the previous year.
Jordan, who amassed $94m on the court across his 15 seasons in the NBA, also has lucrative deals in place with the likes of McDonald’s, Gatorade and Hanes.
However, it was his astonishing sale of the Hornets for nearly 17 times its initial value that has placed him amongst the wealthiest individuals in the States.

He is one of only three athletes in history to become a billionaire along with fellow basketball superstar LeBron James and golf legend Tiger Woods, although the latter pair have done so while their careers are still active.
Jordan is also co-owner of a NASCAR team, which includes the No. 23 car driven by Bubba Wallace.
Wallace finished third on Sunday at the Michigan International Speedway.
