Michael Jordan’s former Chicago-area mansion, once the epitome of sports luxury and privacy, is now making headlines again—but this time, it’s available for rent on Airbnb. Listed under Airbnb Luxe, the property in Highland Park, Illinois, offers guests a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live like the basketball GOAT himself. With a jaw-dropping rental cost of over $100,000 per week, this isn’t your average getaway—it’s an experience curated for the ultra-wealthy, sports fanatics, and lovers of extreme opulence.
The estate, famously known for the giant “23” emblazoned on its front gates, was custom-built for Jordan in the mid-1990s and has been one of the most talked-about celebrity homes ever since. It sprawls over 56,000 square feet and sits on more than seven acres of land. After failing to sell for over a decade—despite multiple price reductions from its original $29 million listing—Jordan finally sold the property in late 2024 for $9.5 million to investor John Cooper. Now, instead of sitting vacant or being flipped again, the home is available for rent by the week.
What do you get for more than $15,000 a night? Everything you could imagine and then some. The mansion boasts seven bedrooms and a staggering 17.5 bathrooms. It can sleep up to 12 guests and includes high-end amenities that cater to athletes, entertainers, and those with an appreciation for luxury. A full-sized, NBA-grade basketball court is at the heart of the home—an iconic feature fitting for Jordan’s legacy. There’s also a regulation tennis court, putting green, and a gym that rivals those found in professional sports facilities.
But the decadence doesn’t stop there. Guests can take a dip in the infinity-edge, zero-entry swimming pool, relax in the cigar room, enjoy a movie in the private theater, or sip from the mansion’s custom wine cellar. There’s even a private pond stocked with fish, a salon space, and a massive games area with pool tables and custom bars. A fully equipped chef’s kitchen is available, and luxury services like private chefs, spa treatments, and concierge services can be arranged at an additional cost.
Those looking to rent the property must comply with strict requirements, including signing a non-disclosure agreement, submitting a $25,000 security deposit, and agreeing to a minimum seven-night stay. This exclusivity is no accident—the current owner sees the Airbnb listing as a clever workaround to both zoning restrictions and the struggle to find a buyer who would make full use of the estate.
Despite the cost, the opportunity to spend a week in Michael Jordan’s former home is priceless for fans and high-end travelers alike. Whether the mansion becomes a long-term luxury rental or finds a new permanent owner down the line, one thing is certain: Jordan’s influence lives on—not just in basketball history, but in real estate legend.
