Michael Jordan's Luxurious European Voyage: $115 Million Yacht and More!
Yacht Life: Michael Jordan's Luxurious European Getaway with Wife Yvette Prieto
In a move that's as flashy as his iconic sneakers, NBA legend Michael Jordan is taking his summer vacation to new heights – literally. The six-time NBA champion and Hall-of-Famer has been sailing the Mediterranean with his stunning wife, Cuban-American model Yvette Prieto, on their $115 million mega-yacht, "M'BRACE".
As we reported earlier, Jordan's floating home boasts 244 feet of opulence, accommodating 12 guests in 8 cabins, along with 24 crew members. And with an estimated annual running cost of $10 million, it's no wonder the couple is taking their time to enjoy every moment on board.
The latest stop for the power couple was the picturesque Greek island of Mykonos, where Jordan stepped off the gangplank looking as cool as his icy gaze on the court. Dressed in a light blue t-shirt, white shorts, and his signature Jordan 1 Low sneakers, he accessorized with sunglasses, a white watch, and a bucket hat.
Yvette, looking radiant in her vibrant Missoni crochet-knit halterneck top and matching skirt, was right behind him, flaunting her stunning figure in strappy black sandals. The couple's friends joined them on the shore for some well-deserved R&R after their luxurious sailing adventure.
As they enjoy their summer getaway, Jordan is gearing up to return to the spotlight as an analyst for NBC Sports next season. And with his estimated worth of $3.6 billion, it's no wonder he's taking his role at the network incredibly seriously.
Sources close to the situation tell The Scholarly Note that Jordan will be making special appearances on-air, doing "60 Minutes"-style segments and occasionally providing halftime analysis. It's a role that has been dubbed "NBC's Oprah for the NBA", with some even speculating that he'll earn a staggering $40 million annually – although Fox Office Sports claims this figure is inaccurate.
Jordan's NBC debut will be a major coup for the network, bringing in one of the all-time greatest players to boost their coverage. And as he prepares to return to the airwaves, he's taking his time to enjoy life with Prieto and their family on their luxurious yacht.
The couple has been making waves across Europe, sailing to Italy's Sardinia last month, followed by a stop in Croatia's Sibenik-Knin County. With Jordan's father-in-law, Carlos Prieto Sr., brother-in-law, Carlos Jr., and his wife joining them on the boat for some quality downtime, it's clear that this summer is all about relaxation and rejuvenation.
But make no mistake – Jordan will be back in the spotlight soon enough, preparing to join Reggie Miller, Carmelo Anthony, and Jamal Crawford as part of NBC Sports' new media rights deal. And with LeBron James opting out of his contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, the debate over who's the greatest basketball player of all-time is sure to reignite.
As Jordan himself said in a recent interview, "There is just enough time in life that you can be on a yacht, spend all your money on having fun and good times and living life to the fullest. Michael does that and will continue to do that, as he has over the years." And with three months of summer vacation left before the NBA season kicks off in October, we're sure Jordan will make the most of it.
