Michael Jordan has purchased a customized Gulfstream 650ER private jet for $70 million. The jet features a unique paint job inspired by his sneakers and includes personal touches like his iconic jersey number and logo. It can fly non-stop for over 8,600 miles. The interior is designed for luxury, accommodating 19 passengers with leather seats, a private dining area, and a bedroom. Operating costs are estimated at $1.9 million annually, which is manageable for Jordan, who has a net worth of about $3.5 billion. In addition to the jet, Jordan's Illinois mansion is now for sale after years on the market. He is also involved in a lawsuit with NASCAR, alleging anti-competitive practices affecting his racing team, 23XI.
