Life's good when you're His Airness. Michael Jordan is just about to move into a new 28,000-square-foot, $12.4 million home in Jupiter, Fla. Among his neighbors will be one Tiger Woods.
The three-acre home, under construction since 2010, is located on three parcels in Jack Nicklaus' ultra-exclusive Bear's Club community, which means you probably won't be able to wander in off the golf course and ask MJ for a glass of water. (You could possibly join the Bear's Club ... if you could come up with the reported $350,000 initiation fee and $25,000 annual dues.)
According to local realtor Jeff Lichtenstein, Jordan's home has 11 bedrooms, a pool house, a two-story guard house and an athletic section with basketball court (of course). The media room apparently has a heavy-duty ventilation system for removing cigar smoke, appropriate for a guy who loves his stogies so much he once had the entire city of San Francisco upset with him over his smoking. Won't be a problem in his own home, we're guessing.

I feel like a jerk for talking my parents into Jordans when I was a kid. They couldn't really afford them but wanted to make me happy. Sorry mom and dad.4 Replies-
why are you posting your apologies on here? Is this where your parents read what you have to say? Do you also ask them what's for dinner on here?

I lived in Southlake, Texas where there are many $14 million dollar homes. At the time I thought I wanted one. Now I live on a small farm/ranch where I can fish, hunt, play golf, ride motorchcles, shoot guns, archery, or whatever. I wouldn't trade what I have now for all the houses in Southlake,TX...

Wasn't there a story a couple days ago about him being asked to change out of his cargo pants while on that course? Then he either left or was kicked out during a hole for the cargo pants?Reply -
So the gray huge house is Woods? And the smaller house with the orange-ish roof is MJ's?Reply -
Mike, don't go walking through the neighborhood at night with a hoodie on!Reply -
Never liked the man's personality, at least what I've seen and heard in interviews. And if you look at the charities he's involved with they are all, except maybe one, nothing but figurehead charities. Let them use your name and you're done.Reply -
Wow Yahoo, pictures, and lots of them!Reply
How much of this is being paid by all the money he made off the backs of slave labor? Air Jordans are made by slave labor. Ironic isn't it.8 Replies-
Everything in this world is practically built by "slave labor"

oHe's old and his children are grown, why does he need such a big mansion like that? This is one big reason these clowns go broke. The maintenance on those estates is just huge, and you don't even use most of the rooms.Reply
PFFFT! He got ripped off. I wouldn't pay a penny over $12.399 million for that.2 Replies-
A fitting castle for the true "King".Reply
