Global fame and a loyal fan base aren’t the only things Michael Jordan has enjoyed throughout his career. The NBA legend has also amassed a huge fortune worth $2 billion. Thanks to his business acumen and excellent decision-making abilities. It’s no surprise that MJ owns one of the most expensive private jets.
In 1985, MJ shocked the world when he launched his first line of sneakers. Yes, a major sponsorship deal with Nike. One of the biggest business deals in sports history. He signed a $2.5 million deal with this brand. In the following years, he worked with some of the biggest brands like Gatorade, McDonald’s, etc
So it’s no secret that MJ has a wide selection of the most expensive and sophisticated rides.
But there’s something special about his jet that unites Air Jordan enthusiasts.
Michael Jordan’s most luxurious collection
In addition to his collection of expensive and rare cars, MJ also bought a luxury yacht for $80 million. And the list goes on.
He is a businessman and he always needs to go places without much trouble. And a private jet only serves this business. MJ bought a Gulfstream g550 worth $62 million. In 2017, however, he experienced an interesting change with his private plane. In addition to this, the price of the jet will surely skyrocket compared to its original value. And if you’re lucky enough to spot a jet, you’ll recognize it as his.
Air Jordan was the inspiration for MJ’s private jet
Jordan has started restoring the jet with new paint. In the past, the Gulfstream g550 stood out with its brilliant blue and white paint color. The colors certainly remind me of North Carolina shirts. Now the machine has white, gray, and black upholstery.
Wait, there’s more. When you look more closely at the machine’s engine, you will notice the number N236MJ. A little decoding reveals that the number 23 stands for MJ’s jersey, the 16 being the number of his power titles ending with his initials. With room for 16 passengers and a very luxurious interior, the jet can travel up to 12 hours without stopping.
