Michael Jordan Puts up 56,000 Square Foot Mansion for Auction
NBA Legend Michael Jordan is selling his 56,000 square foot mansion. It is up for auction on Nov 22 and will be sold to the highest bidder. The mansion is located just a little over 30 minutes north of Chicago.
Jordan's mansion measures 7.39 acres. It has 9 bedrooms, 19 bathrooms, 5 fire places, a wine cellar, a home theatre, a card room, a cigar lounge, a billiards room, a tennis court, a big pond, a spacious living room, an infinity pool, and an indoor basketball complex pretty much like the NBA basketball court. With the home this big, where do you really start? The mansion also features a gate with Jordan's jersey number 23 on it.
The mansion is so massive, you can tell. Just imagine the amenities mentioned above. Concierge Auctions has made a video as seen below so that interested buyers can have a glimpse of how humungous Jordan's house really is.

"Many of the world's most desirable items are sold at auction, and Concierge Auctions is the hands down leader when it comes to auctioning one-of-a-kind real estate," said Jordan.
The former Chicago Bulls point guard lived in the mansion for 19 years. He decided to sell the house because he doesn't need a big house in Chicago anymore, as reported by Sporting News. Also, Jordan's children have all grown up so there wouldn't be any need for such a huge home.
"The property is going to be sold to the highest bidder on Nov. 22, and we can't wait" said Nick Leonard of Concierge Auctions, who is also the project manager at the Jordan house. "He has a spectacular property, one-of-a-kind, and he's not using it, so he's taking control of the market, he's setting a sale day and he's going to sell it to the highest bidder, and for anybody who has any interest, it is now or never," added Leonard.
Jordan's mansion was recently put up for the market at $29 million. Whoever can afford to pay for this real-estate must be earning big time.
