At the head of a real fortune, Michael Jordan has made huge purchases during his life. Jumble of the 10 most expensive acquisitions of His Airness. And be careful, we are swimming at very high altitude at the level of the sums mentioned…

Result: MJ can buy almost anything he wants – proof with his 10 most expensive purchases known to date, listed below.
10. A modest house in Miami – $280,000
In 2009, Michael Jordan bought the least expensive house of his heritage: a modest house of “only” 3 bedrooms in Kendall, in the Miami area, to settle there with Yvette Prieto. Rest assured, the rest of the catalog is much more impressive…
9. A collection of luxury watches – $1 million
Like many NBA players, MJ loves watches… and not just any watches. Its impressive collection makes you dizzy:

8. A house in his home state – $3 million
If he spends a lot of time in Florida, Michael Jordan wants to have a base worthy of the name in North Carolina. No problem: in 2013, he acquired a mansion just outside of Charlotte. With 6 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, a swimming pool, a spa and an incredible view of Lake Norman, in other words, the GOAT is doing quite well for the price.
7. An impressive collection of cars – $10 million
Not surprisingly, the native of North Carolina takes advantage of his immense fortune to buy all the cars he wants. For amateurs and interested parties, the top 10 of the Jordan collection can be found here.
6. The Grove XXIII Golf Course – $15 million
A great golf lover in front of the eternal, Jordan pushed his passion to the limit by acquiring an entire golf course in Florida. For the modest sum of 15 million dollars, MJ has access to this private immensity, where he indulges in multiple games with his friends who visit him. The house specialty? The glasses are brought in via drone.
5. A house at Bear’s Club – $20 million
Even if it means loving golf, you might as well build a huge house next door, right? This is what the mythical number 23 of the Bulls did in the archi-select district of Bear’s Club in Florida. Ideal for reaching the green without forcing.
4. Highland Park Mansion in Chicago – $21 million
If this little corner of paradise has lost value and is now estimated at around 14 million, MJ did not hesitate to take out the checkbook for his haven of peace in the suburbs of Chi-Town. And we understand…
3. A G550 private jet – $61.5 million
Happy owner of a private plane like several other players (the list of the most expensive private jets in this article), Michael Jordan makes sure not to go unnoticed. Recently, he repainted the cabin with “camouflage” sauce, while adding his logo and a personalized plaque. Simply unplayable…
2. A pimped luxury yacht – $80 million
To get away from the madness that reigns around him on earth, nothing better than going to sea. A fan of boats, Michael Jordan notably owns an ultra-luxurious fully-equipped yacht, including a basketball court. To dream, it’s below:

1. The Charlotte Hornets franchise – $175 million
The only player or former player in history to own a franchise, an occupation reserved for billionaires, MJ broke the piggy bank for his Hornets. One day, LeBron James admits wanting to follow in the footsteps of his idol by also becoming a pro for a team in one of the 4 major sports.
Being the greatest player in history and a keen investor opens up an ocean of financial possibilities, which Michael Jordan does not hesitate to take advantage of. Such purchases are downright dizzying!
