Michael Jordan is widely considered the best basketball player of all time. In his long career with the Chicago Bulls, Jordan won six NBA championships, including two three-peats in the 1990s. He also won a NCAA championship with the North Carolina Tarheels.
Jordan retired from basketball a few different times but officially called it quits in 2003. He went on to become a part-owner of the Charlotte Hornets, previously the Bobcats, in 2006 and recently sold his majority stake in the team last year.
Nowadays, Jordan is living a luxurious life away from the game. He recently bought a new Bayliss Yacht. This fishing boat is 80 feet long and costs around $15 million. Jordan wrapped the sides of his new boat with elephant print, so it stands out from others. He named the yacht “Catch 23.”
A video showing off Jordan’s new boat was posted online by Huddle Up sports and business writer Joe Pompliano.
Fans were amazed by Jordan’s new purchase and posted their reactions on social media.
“Bayliss almost as big a legend as MJ in eastern NC”
“How to spend it”
“Another reason why MJ is the real (GOAT)”
“MJ living my best life”
“Wow”
Jordan will be in North Carolina competing in a fishing tournament. The prize will be $7.5 million, or half the cost of his new toy.
