Michael Jordan he was born to be a basketball player. He is not just any player, but the one who is still considered by many to be the best player in history. He made the difficult easy on the court, he surprised the whole world wherever he went, and that made him one of the most influential people in the sport.
But like any mortal, there are also other things that resist Jordan, as happened to him in the past with baseball, and it is the sale of his mansion. A house with all kinds of luxuries located in Highland Park, north of Chicagoand fails to sell despite having been on sale since 2012, more than a decade ago.
This is the most difficult opponent he has ever faced. A mansion that bought in 1991 and built in 1995, with new rooms, 15 bathrooms, a gym, an infinity pool, a party room, a movie theater, a library with a drop-down screen, a bar, a lake, a garage with space for 15 cars, a basketball court with its own logo, a tennis court and even a miniature golf. In addition, it has a smoking room where he organized his poker games.
A house with everything unimaginable and with an already mythical gate where figure number 23the number that Jordan wore in the Chicago Bulls and that gave them so much joy between 1991 and 1998, with six NBA champion rings.
But, with all this, the mansion of Michael Jordan still unsold after being offered in 2013. At first he put her to auction, but was unsuccessful. Later, he put it up for sale for 29 million dollarsa figure that nobody reached and that led him to lower it to the 21 million. No luck either, and he went down to the 16 million and then until $14.8 million What does it cost today?
The reason why it is not sold
Many are those who then wonder why a mansion with so much history and surrounded by so much luxury is not being sold. And it is that in 2020, Adam Rosenfeld, from the real estate company Mercer Vine, assured ‘Marketwatch’ that the problems of selling it came from the number of personalized objects that there are: “When you have such a specific and customized property, the sale becomes an uphill battle.”.
On the other hand, Katherine Malkin, current listing agent for the property, said in ‘Tribune’ that “it is a beautiful property, and I don’t think anyone understands how beautiful it is because we don’t have an open house, because there is a concern for privacy. It’s not until people are inside that they really appreciate it. And not everyone financially qualifies to see the house.”
