Take a tour of Michael Jordan's Chicago mansion that's been on the market for 10 years and see why he can't sell it

Michael Jordan's enormous house in Chicago is still on the market after 10 years.

Jordan has tried to sweeten the pot by cutting the price nearly in half and throwing in a complete set of Air Jordans with the purchase of the house. And yet, it remains unsold and he pays more than $100,000 in annual property taxes.

The house was originally listed for $29 million and has every bell and whistle you can think of. Some "over-improvements" and the house's location are making it hard to sell the property.

One shot makes it llok like a huge barn.

Who with that sort of money would want to live near ChitCongo?

A lot further south, maybe.

Is Lake County all that different from Crook County ?

I’m not surprised that it hasn’t sold. It looks very cold, and like some kind of institution, not a house or home.

He can probably stand the laws, so just quit paying taxes and let it go to the county then write it off.

Having a mansion in Illinois is like having a mansion in the former East Germany

He’s also worth $2 billion, so the write off represents about 1% of his networth. He can afford to lose it.

Small mansions are better, imo. Have one or two amenities that you will use and the rest should be just a house.

A. Who wants a house with a basketball court in the middle of it?

B. All that money and its not even on the water?

c. All the customized crap that appeals to nobody but him - meaning you’d need to sink a lot of money into the house renovating it after buying it.

d. I’ve always thought those opaque blocks in houses quite ugly.

e. I don’t even like the whole design of the place.

F. Its in Chicago.

Hell no. Do not want.

Natural pools are better than those concrete pools that people use.

If it sells, it will only be sold for the land and that house will be torn down.

Yeah, like an institution. In fact, the exterior looks just like a new medical clinic here — One for immigrant workers, no less. All I like about the entire house is the skylight. And no indoor pool (anymore)... What a ripoff.
