Michael Jordan’s onetime Chicago mansion listed on Airbnb
A Chicago-area mansion once owned by all-time NBA great Michael Jordan is now listed on Airbnb, offering high-end travelers the chance to vacation like a six-time champion.
Champions Point is a seven-bedroom, 17.5-bath estate on 7.39 acres that can accommodate 12 guests, according to the Airbnb listing and property owner John Cooper.
The home, in Highland Park, Illinois, has a stunning price tag and requires a minimum seven-night stay. For example, a weeklong respite over Labor Day weekend, checking in on Aug. 29 and out on Sept. 5, would cost $120,920.
The mansion features a movie theater, commercial gym, cigar lounge, wine cellar, pool tables, bars, salon, saltwater aquariums and — of course — a full-size basketball court.
“This estate was built with privacy, security, and luxury in mind — a private oasis on 7.39 acres surrounded by mature pines, fenced and gated,” according to the listing.
Cooper, a real estate investor, purchased the property for $9.5 million late last year. The Airbnb listing says the house is “Hosted by John.”
Cooper said he’s still not sure what he wants to do with the property long term. But he’s offering it up for vacation rentals now to at least get some cash rolling his direction.
“I am still considering many different uses for the property,” Cooper told NBC News in a statement Tuesday. “Some great uses require zoning relief, but in the meantime short-term rentals are a permitted use to bring exposure to the property and generate some revenue.”
There were no bookings as of Tuesday afternoon.
Cooper said he foresees the property being rented for “a family or group of friends celebrating a milestone.”
Jordan’s iconic No. 23 is on the property’s front gate.
“Enjoy putting on your professional-grade putting green, fishing in your private pond stocked with bass and bluegill, and swimming in your zero-entry infinity edge pool.”

The property is about 27 miles north of the United Center, home of the Chicago Bulls and once the workplace of the NBA legend Jordan.
He led the Bulls to six world titles in a pair of three-peats, 1991-93 and 1996-98.
Jordan’s 32,292 career regular-season points are fifth all-time, trailing only LeBron James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone and the late Kobe Bryant.
The five-time MVP Jordan’s average of 30.1 points per game is No. 1 in NBA history.
The trophy that was handed to Jordan five times is now named after him.
