Hey, the Charlotte Bobcats hoops czar has enough scratch to build a house anywhere he wants, but Jupiter, Florida?
The Palm Beach Post has reported that Michael Jordan is building a massive 38,000 sq. foot home at a cost of some $7.6 million. The details:
Once completed it will reportedly be three times the size of other houses around the area, not pleasing some of his neighbors. It will be erected on the 10th hole of the Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course.
The opulent two-story mansion will feature 11 bedrooms, an elevator, a grand stairway, a giant fireplace. It will also include a cottage and a guard gate.
The Bears Club is one of those impossibly swanky golf resort developments for the immortals among us — like MJ. But it is not clear what would become of the Miami home Jordan bought a few months ago with his Cuban model girlfriend, Yvette Prieto.
Maybe MJ just needs his space — lots of it — and far, far away from the Queen City.
Bonus Observation: Couldn’t be that North Carolina’s high marginal income tax rate has Jordan eager to establish residency in a no income tax state like Florida, could it?
