A buyer appears to have finally taken Michael Jordan’s Chicago mansion off his hands, after it lingered for 12 years on the market.

The NBA legend and arguably greatest player of all time has a deal with a buyer for the nine-bedroom house for just under $22m (US14.8m) according to TMZ Sports.

However, the outlet noted that the listing is considered “contingent,” meaning certain elements need to be met.

The identity of the buyer is not yet known.

It comes after the mansion went viral on social media this year, after it was revealed that the abandoned 2.83ha property was in a state of disrepair.

In the footage, the indoor basketball court appears to have had significant flooding, while the kitchen is seemingly trapped mid-renovation, with cupboard doors on the ground and pieces of wood and trash throughout the room.

The largely empty house has chairs, beds and couches in the rooms, though it’s clear there haven’t been many tenants, if any, in years.

The home did see an influx of interest in recent years, perhaps due to Jordan’s 2020 Netflix documentary “The Last Dance”

Situated on a seven-acre lot in Illinois, the 5,200 sqm home was constructed in 1995 and boasts 19 bathrooms, a basketball court, an indoor gym, a library and a cigar room, according to The Post.

A tennis court, an infinity pool and three separate multi-car garages are among the property’s other amenities, as well as the signature No. 23 gate.

Jordan, who won six NBA championships with the Bulls in the 1990s, originally listed the home for $42.9m (US$29m) in 2012.

The home did see an influx of interest in recent years, perhaps due to Jordan’s 2020 Netflix documentary “The Last Dance”.

“I’m not sure if it’s because of the TV programs that they did (the 2020 “The Last Dance” documentary miniseries on Netflix) or if it’s because people have an interest in looking at it a little bit differently, but suddenly there does appear to be a bit of interest in it,” Katherine Malkin of Compass told The Chicago Tribune in 2022.

He slashed the price to $22m (US$14.85m) in 2015.
