\n Michael Jordan was a Chicago Bull but lived in this Highland Park mansion. Highland Park is not Chicago, but Michael Jordan is easily one of Chicago\u2019s most recognizable sports figures.

Basketball fans can be like Mike and rent Michael Jordan\u2019s former Illinois mansion on Airbnb<\/a>.<\/p>\n The mansion, which sold in December after being on the market for 12 years, was listed on the vacation rental website this month. NBC News reported<\/a> that real estate investor<\/a> John Cooper bought the house for $9.5 million, and Airbnb lists a host named \u201cJohn.\u201d<\/p>\n The mansion sits on 7.39 acres in North suburban Highland Park and has seven bedrooms, 17\u00bd bathrooms, a movie theater, gym, cigar lounge, pool tables and saltwater aquariums. The property also features a swimming pool, a fishing pond stocked with bass and bluegill, a putting green and, of course, a basketball court.<\/p>\n When the home sold, the Zillow listing showed its front gate featuring a giant \u201c23,\u201d the jersey number Jordan wore for most of his NBA career. The photos on Airbnb do not include the gate.<\/p>\n Anyone renting the mansion must sign a nondisclosure agreement and liability waiver and pay a $25,000 security deposit and cannot host parties or events on the property. A maximum of 12 guests can stay in the house, and no pets are allowed.<\/p>\n A minimum seven-night reservation is required, making the price of a stay in Jordan\u2019s old house $120,920 per week, WCNC reported.<\/p>\n Jordan built the house in 1995 during his tenure with the Chicago Bulls and did a major remodel in 2009, according to Zillow. He originally listed the home for sale in 2012 for $29 million.<\/p>\n Jordan became the face of the NBA during his 13 seasons with the Bulls from 1984 to 1998 \u2014 minus the 1993-94 season, when he left to play minor-league baseball \u2014 and led Chicago to six NBA titles.<\/p>\n He retired from the NBA in 1998, only to return in 2001 and play two seasons with the Washington Wizards before retiring permanently. In 2010, Jordan became the majority owner of the Charlotte Bobcats \u2014 now the Hornets \u2014 and paid $275 million for the franchise. He sold his majority stake<\/a> to a group led by Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnall in 2023.<\/p>\n Jordan also owns the\u00a0NASCAR\u00a0team 23XI with three-time Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin.<\/p>\n \u00a9 2025 The Athletic Media Company.
