Michael Jordan’s asking price for his Highland Park, Illinois, mansion was $14.855 million, according to ABC7 Chicago. The digits add up to 23, his jersey number. Coincidentally, the estate’s front gate also has a life-sized “23.”
Jordan first listed the home in spring 2012 for $29 million, Newsweek reported. The price dropped to $14.855 million in 2015, and he held it there for about nine years, per ABC7 Chicago. It finally sold for $9.5 million on Dec. 10, 2024, about 36% below that last ask, according to The Real Deal.
The home is roughly 32,000 square feet on about seven acres, Newsweek said. It has a regulation-sized basketball court, a putting green, a circular infinity pool and a cigar room. Jordan bought the land in 1991 and raised his family there.
Chicago Tribune columnist Bob Goldsborough told ABC7 Chicago that the land is “sort of land-locked behind some other houses, railroad tracks and a nature preserve.” He also said the home has a dated, 1990s-style look.
The buyer was John Cooper, a 42-year-old real estate executive from Lincolnshire, ABC7 Chicago reported. A month later, he began selling shares in the home, with opening bids of $1 million, and by summer 2025 he had listed it on Airbnb for $150,000 a month.
In December 2025, Cooper proposed rezoning the property, known as Champions Point, to turn it into a tourist destination focused on sports, architecture, and philanthropy, per NBC Chicago. The plan would have moved the famous “23” gate inside the property.
Highland Park’s city council turned down the plan in March 2026. Neighbors were mostly against it because of traffic and noise concerns, ABC7 Chicago said. “I just can’t get past that it’s in the middle of a residential area,” Councilmember Andrés Tapia said, according to The Record North Shore.
Jordan’s mansion is not the only sports-linked property to sell for far less than its cost. Pontiac, Michigan, built the Silverdome for $55.7 million in 1975, and the stadium sold at auction for $583,000 in 2009.
