He then lowered that sum to just $16 million one year later.<\/p>\n<p>Having still failed to find a buyer, the former NBA star changed the price again in 2015\u2014this time altering his ask to $14,855,000 in a subtle nod to his historic career. How does that number relate to his on-court success?<\/p>\n<p>When added, 1, 4, 8, 5, and 5 total 23, Jordan\u2019s longtime jersey number.<\/p>\n<p>But even that gimmicky move failed to lure in any real offers and for the next nine years, the property sat on the market with that same asking price.

However, more recently, it was thrown into the center of a TikTok controversy when an \u201curban explorer\u201d claimed to have broken into the home and found it in a state of disrepair and ruin.<\/p>\n<p>The urban explorer, who goes by \u201cDecaying Midwest\u201d on TikTok, claimed to have found interiors that are far less appealing than the grandeur and luxury that one might expect from a high-profile property.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"with-caption\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-936523 ls-is-cached lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/e8eb1cfa02ba0c1522c6f92b5f4ec05cw-c1977674809rd-w832_q80.jpg\" alt=\"Michael Jordan\" width=\"1400\" height=\"950\" data-src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/e8eb1cfa02ba0c1522c6f92b5f4ec05cw-c1977674809rd-w832_q80.jpg\" \/><figcaption>There are nods to the former basketball star throughout the property.<\/p>\n<p class=\"credit\">(Realtor.com)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"with-caption\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-936524 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/0943da0b2c6adb8ac7d853b6229e8053w-c2485685071rd-w832_q80.jpg\" alt=\"Michael Jordan\" width=\"1400\" height=\"950\" data-src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/0943da0b2c6adb8ac7d853b6229e8053w-c2485685071rd-w832_q80.jpg\" \/><figcaption>The NBA star\u2019s home has been on the market since 2012.<\/p>\n<p class=\"credit\">(Realtor.com)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"with-caption\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-936526 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/ebf723bdbe0569d78a92f0f5fd6cdeabw-c984556509rd-w832_q80.jpg\" alt=\"Michael Jordan\" width=\"1400\" height=\"950\" data-src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/ebf723bdbe0569d78a92f0f5fd6cdeabw-c984556509rd-w832_q80.jpg\" \/><figcaption>As well as featuring a full-size basketball court (with the sporting superstar\u2019s Air Jordan logo at its center), the mansion includes an infinity pool, a putting green, a tennis court, and a cigar room.<\/p>\n<p class=\"credit\">(Realtor.com)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The kitchen in the video\u2014which was never verified as having been taken inside Jordan\u2019s home\u2014showed a similar state of disrepair and what appear to be incomplete renovations.<\/p>\n<p>The footage showed cupboard doors left on the floor, water bottles abandoned on the countertops, and pieces of wood scattered around the room.<\/p>\n<p>The video also revealed some attractive features, including a stunning sauna, grand living spaces, elegant chandeliers, and a luxe home theater.<\/p>\n<p>It sparked a surge of interest on TikTok, despite representatives for Jordan stating the video was not taken inside his home.<\/p>\n<p>Still, it may well be that the viral response to the video helped to reignite public awareness of the home\u2019s availability\u2014and the property is now pending sale just one month later.<\/p>\n<p>While many questioned why Jordan refused to reduce the price to attract a buyer, some suggested a very clear reason: He doesn\u2019t need to.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan, who is part owner of the\u00a0<strong>Charlotte Hornets<\/strong>,\u00a0has an estimated net worth of $3.2 billion, according to\u00a0Forbes.
