During his vacation, Michael Jordan spent up to 1.2 million USD just to rent a yacht for 1 week.

After retiring in 2003, Jordan was very busy. This former NBA legend does not appear in public often. Even though he owns the Charlotte Hornets club, Jordan rarely comes to watch this team play. He spends time on his other projects, and in his free time Jordan spends time with his family.

A recent trip to Croatia was such an occasion. The former Chicago Bulls star spent up to 1.2 million USD just to rent a yacht for 1 week. At the same time, he also hired a team of bodyguards to ensure his family’s safety while avoiding the scrutiny of the paparazzi. The rare photos of Jordan are all taken from a distance because reporters are not allowed to get close.

It is known that he also spent nearly 100,000 USD just to buy alcohol. 20 bottles of Tequila were purchased by Jordan, each bottle costing 4,000 USD. This luxurious vacation cost Jordan about 2 million USD, but it was nothing compared to his billion-dollar account. 

Although revenue was heavily affected by Covid-19 last year, causing total assets to decrease by 20%, Jordan still reigns at the top of the list of richest basketball players in history. His assets are 1.3 billion USD, far surpassing LeBron James. 

Jordan’s revenue decreased due to the decline in business of the sports goods company he owned. But with Lionel Messi landing at PSG, Jordan must be secretly happy. Because his company Jordan Brand is the shirt sponsor of PSG. The sudden increase in the number of PSG shirts sold also means that Jordan Brand’s revenue has increased.
