Feb. 24. By Dave Yochum. A mansion owned by billionaire athlete Michael Jordan has been torn down, presumably to build an even more spectacular lakefront home. The 11,000 square foot house was previously lived in by Jordan’s mother.
The property has an appraised value of $6.175 million, according to Mecklenburg County property records.
It’s adjacent to the picture-perfect seventh hole at The Peninsula Club.

According to Sportico, Jordan unloaded the Highland Park, Ill. mansion for $9.5 million after listing it for $29 million in 2012.
In 2020, Jordan and NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin announced they would be fielding a NASCAR Cup Series team. The 23XI team fields the Numbers 23, 35, and 45 Toyota teams full-time for drivers Bubba Wallace, Riley Herbst, and Tyler Reddick, according to Wikipedia.
The race shop and team headquarters are in Huntersville.
According to Mecklenburg County records, the Jordan Family Gift Trust purchased the one-acre estate in The Peninsula for $2.8 million in 2013. A new mansion will be built in its place.
See that’s why I like Michael Jordan. He would do anything for his family he stays close to home with his style of living and he’s not scared to actively make sports teams or whatever so good for him God bless his family n life.
