Michael Jordan loves to rent the super yacht he uses to cruise the world on: the cost per week is absolutely insane.
In recent days Michael Jordan’s super yacht, Joywas seen along the Italian coasts: moored in front of Ostia, it then went up to Portofino. A nice holiday in our seas for the champion of the NBAaccording to many the best player in the history of basketball. After all, it is impossible for Jordan’s boat to go unnoticed, given first of all its dimensions: it is 70 meters long. But this is only one aspect of the unbridled luxury that it exudes. The yacht, owned by Indian businessman Sameer Gehlaut, is worth around 80 million dollars (just over 73 million euros). Jordan loves to rent it and spends an unreal amount of money per week on it..

How Much Does It Cost Michael Jordan To Charter The Super Yacht Joy
The 61-year-old former basketball player, winner of 6 NBA rings with the Chicago Bulls, is obviously very rich, not only for what he earned in his career, but above all for his earnings after retirement, including advertising deals and other activities. According to Forbes, Jordan’s net worth is $3.2 billion (€2.93 billion). It is estimated that he earned $1.6 billion from Nike alone, his long-time sponsor, to which he is still tied. Other business ventures have also contributed to his enormous wealth: in 2023, MJ sold his majority stake in the Charlotte Hornets, tenfold his initial investment of 13 years ago.
In short, Jordan has no shortage of money, so when he wants to take a trip to the seas and dive in for a nice swim, he rents his beloved Joy. Good old Michael doesn’t bat an eyelid when he has to pay the amount requested for the rental of the boat, between 650 thousand and 780 thousand dollars, or between 596 thousand euros and 715 thousand euros at the exchange rate. In exchange for the massive outlay, the NBA champion can enjoy two jacuzzis, a dining room, a beach club, a disco, a cinema, a gym (fitness instructor included), a spa and of course a basketball court.

Of course, Jordan needs to accommodate family and friends on the yacht: there are seven guest cabins on board, with room for 12 guests. The ultra-luxury vessel comes with a private chef and a crew of 19, including a captain, deckhands and reception staff. Given the range of amenities on board and the salaries of the staff, it’s no surprise that Joy costs so much to charter for just a week. Not to mention that the price also includes the cost of fuel to power the boat’s two engines. Joy’s fuel tanks hold a whopping 100,000 litres of fuel, burning around 600 litres per hour at cruising speed.
