Michael Jordan spent $2.5M in property taxes just to sell this house for 10 years

Even the chance to live in a house designed by an NBA great doesn’t seem to be enough to persuade purchasers to shell out $14.8 mιllιon for Michael Jordan’s Illinois estate.

Jordan has reportedly been attempting to sell the 7-acre Highland Park mansion for the past nine years, according to the New York Post. After acquiring complete possession of the home in January 2007, a year after divorcing his wife, Juanita Vanoy, he put it on the market for $29 mιllιon in 2012.

 

 

 

 

 

He and Vanoy paid $2 mιllιon for the house when they first bought it in 1991, the year he won the first of his six NBA titles while playing for the Chicago Bulls. Jordan initially advertised the house for $21 mιllιon , cut the price to $14.8 mιllιon in 2015, and then listed it again for $16 mιllιon the following year. Since then, despite finding no takers, he has maintained that price, even after ESPN’s The Last Dance documentary about him was released in 2017.
