An 18-year-old boy tried to rob Michael Jordan’s ‘unloved’ mansion worth $15 million

Michael Jordan is synonymous with success. He was on the field, consecrated as a star of the NBA with the shirt of Chicago Bulls, and boosted it even more after his retirement, becoming one of the richest athletes in history. But the exception to the rule is at home, more precisely at 2700 Point Lane, in Highland Park, north of Chicago.

There is the mansion where Jordan lived for almost two decades, from 1994 to 2013, when he decided to sell it despite not having found a new owner yet. Its original price was $29 million and due to lack of interest they have already had to drop it by half: stands at 14.8 million.

In the last few hours, in fact, an “interested party” has appeared. This is an 18 year old boy whose name would be Raiden Hagedornwho was detained by the carabinieri within the 5,000 m2 of the property, as specified TMZ Sports.

Hagedorn faces minor charges of “violation of an occupied residence” and two other charges of “criminal damage to property,” according to local reports. Jordan was not at home but a neighbor called 911 after detecting the intruder on the premises.

In reality, MJ hasn’t lived in that villa since 2012 when he decided to put it up for sale. But his brand is present on the gate of the property: a gigantic 23, the indelible mark of a sporting legend.

Jordan’s “spoiled” mansion

Michael Jordan has wanted to sell his Chicago mansion since 2012 but can’t find a buyer. At the time, the historic former basketball player hired a well-known American agent of the sector to achieve the goal of getting rid of that property, which cost 30 million and is now valued at almost 15.

However, even businessman Kofi Nartey was unable to locate a new owner for Jordan’s home, which he owns 9 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms in its 5,202 m2. In addition, it has a basketball court, a tennis court, a cinema, a game room with poker tables, an entertainment room and an amazing gym, among many other things.

For its part, the Celebrity & Luxury Homes company has made a video to promote the property, which has been on sale since 2012. Anyone who wants to buy it must pay $14,800,000. In this way, the real estate agent summoned billionaires for a one-time visit to buy the place where one of the best athletes in history lived.

“Only one person can say ‘I have Jordan’s house’, will it be you?” recites the spectacular commercial showing some of the most exclusive and luxurious corners of “Jordan’s house”.

The success of “The Last Dance,” the docuseries recreating Michael’s final season with the Chicago Bulls, has sparked renewed interest in the Jordan household, given the magnetism generated by his basketball heritage.

Rapper Travis Scott accounted for that feeling when he used the property in the video clip of Franchise, one of his songs, in which the current images are interspersed with others from the archives in which Jordan himself appears.

However, beyond all that fanaticism, there is one reality that remains constant: the Jordan mansion continues with the “SOLD” sign.
