ESPN’s 10-part docuseries, The Last Dance, which first aired April 19, will air the final two episodes on Sunday. The series focuses on the 1997-98 Chicago Bulls season – which was Jordan’s last year with the Bulls. With the NBA season currently postponed due to Covid-19, basketball fans need some entertainment, and thankfully, The Last Dance, aired at the right time.
While the docuseries is focusing on the Chicago Bulls featuring Jordan, the story of Jordan’s mansion not selling has mostly been ignored. Jordan has been trying to sell his former Chicago-area home since 2012. Maybe the estate should have been featured in the docuseries – a missed marketing opportunity.
Jordan’s compound was first listed in February 2012 for the steep price of $29 million. After failing twice to sell his estate at auction, in 2014 Jordan relisted his Highland Park, Illinois estate for $16 million. After failing to sell his estate for $16 million, Jordan briefly removed his estate from the market. The NBA superstar and apparel mogul placed his home back on the market for $14,855,000, significantly reduced from the $29,000,000 price tag.
Jordan’s secluded compound includes 56,000 square feet of living space, with 9 bedrooms, 15 full and 4 half bathrooms and, At $14.9 million, Jordan’s house is one of the five most expensive for sale around Chicago. He’s asking more than 20 times the average listing price in Highland Park, $700,000.
