Michael Jordan’s Estate Just outside Chicago, in Highland Park, and behind a set of gates emblazoned with No. 23, is Jordan’s 56,000-square-foot, nine-bedroom mansion full of late-’90s charm — as well as a humidor, a wine cellar, an infinity pool, a movie theater, and a regulation-size basketball court. To sweeten the deal, the agent will throw in every Air Jordan made in the buyer’s size.
