Michael Jordan’s quest to sell his Chicago mansion isn’t getting any easier.
The Bulls legend’s home — currently listed for $14.855 million — has been on the market since 2012, and a January TikTok video by user @decayingmidwest purportedly shows the seven-acre property in disrepair.
The video has gone viral in recent days, putting attention on the alleged state of the Highland Park home, which was originally listed for $29 million when it hit the market.
An indoor basketball court, complete with a Bulls logo, appears to be flooded.
The kitchen is seemingly trapped mid-renovation with cupboard doors on the ground, with pieces of wood and trash throughout the room.
The largely empty house has chairs, beds and couches in the rooms, though it’s clear there haven’t been many tenants, if any, in years.
Jordan’s troubles selling the property have been well-documented: in 2013, he slashed the asking price to $16 million.
Now, it continues to sit at the cheeky $14.855 price — with the digits adding up to 23, Jordan’s famed jersey number — where it’s been for the past nine years.
Not that the house doesn’t have any draws.
Among its selling points are a large Infinity-edge pool with an Island in the middle, a number of relaxing lounges with enormous flatscreen televisions, built-in bars, a sprawling patio and card and cigar room.
The home did see an influx of interest in recent years, perhaps due to 2020’s “The Last Dance” documentary.
“I’m not sure if it’s because of the TV programs that they did (the 2020 “The Last Dance” documentary miniseries on Netflix) or if it’s because people have an interest in looking at it a little bit differently, but suddenly there does appear to be a bit of interest in it,” Katherine Malkin of Compass told The Chicago Tribune in 2022.
In 2023, a, 18-year-old man was arrested for attempting to break into the property.
Jordan and wife Yvette Prieto don’t seem to be sweating the sale or any viral video fallout — they’ve been spending the summer yachting around Europe.
