How much is Michael Jordan’s mansion worth?
Jordan’s Chicago mansion is spread across massive 56,000-square feet and is valued at approximately $29 million(Source: Forbes). The house has been on sale for the last 8 years and it looks to stay that way. Jordan has tried cutting the price in half and adding a complete set of Air Jordans with the purchase of the house.
These sweet deals have had no effect whatsoever, as he still waits for a buyer. MJ is paying $100,000 in property taxes but considering his $1.6 billion net worth, that doesn’t seem to be a problem. Jordan has estates spread across the United States and the Chicago Mansion is just one of them.
Does Michael Jordan still live in his Chicago House?
Jordan does not live in his Chicago Mansion anymore as he reportedly lives in Florida along with his family. His house is located within the Bears Club in Jupiter, Florida.

The house also has a state-of-the-art workout center and a basketball court.

The front gate of the estate bears the iconic #23, the jersey number during Jordan’s playing career.
