  • Jordan once had to pay his ex-wife $168 million in a divorce settlement 
  • Learning from his past mistakes, Jordan had a prenup agreement with Yvette Prieto
  • The details of the prenup agreement show a unique financial safety net for Jordan

After a high-profile divorce from his first wife, Juanita Vanoy, which cost him a staggering $168 million settlement, Michael Jordan made sure to protect his assets in his second marriage to Yvette Prieto. The unique prenuptial agreement reflects Jordan’s determination not to repeat the financial losses he experienced.

Yvette Prieto, wife of basketball legend Michael Jordan, has reportedly signed a prenuptial agreement that guarantees her a significant payout in the event of a divorce. 

Under the agreement, Prieto will receive $1 million for each year of marriage if the couple decides to part ways. If their marriage lasts beyond 10 years, she will be entitled to a substantial sum of $5 million per year. 

As one of the wealthiest athletes in history, Michael Jordan’s approach to marriage and finances highlights his prudence and caution when it comes to protecting his substantial wealth. The prenuptial agreement with Yvette Prieto serves as a testament to his determination to avoid the financial pitfalls of his past.

Yvette Prieto’s prenuptial agreement not only safeguards Michael Jordan’s fortune but also secures her financial future in the event of a separation. The agreement underscores the careful planning that both parties have put into their marriage, ensuring that their financial interests are well-protected.


Michael Jordan’s $168 Million Mistake 

In 1989, Michael Jordan married Juanita Vanoy, and their union seemed like a fairytale romance. The couple had three children together – Jeffrey, Marcus, and Jasmine. However, after 17 years of marriage, their relationship began to unravel. 

In 2006, the couple finalized their divorce, and the separation came with a staggering price tag – a $168 million divorce settlement.

The eye-watering settlement not only highlighted the emotional toll of the split but also showcased the financial consequences of not having a prenuptial agreement. Jordan’s net worth at the time was estimated to be around $650 million, and the settlement significantly impacted his wealth.

After the costly divorce from Juanita Vanoy, Michael Jordan found love again. In 2011, he began dating Yvette Prieto, a Cuban-American model. Despite the age gap of 16 years, the couple’s relationship blossomed. In 2013, Jordan and Prieto tied the knot in a lavish wedding ceremony in Florida.

The couple’s marriage marked a fresh start for Jordan, and it was evident that he had learned from his previous financial missteps. Jordan made sure to protect his assets this time around by having Prieto sign a prenuptial agreement. This agreement would prove crucial in safeguarding his wealth in case of a future separation.

Michael Jordan’s life with Yvette Prieto has been more than just a financial success story. The couple welcomed twin daughters, Victoria and Ysabel, into the world in February 2014. 

Michael Jordan’s $168 million divorce settlement was undoubtedly a painful financial lesson, but it was one that he learned from. His subsequent marriage to Yvette Prieto with a carefully crafted prenuptial agreement reflects the wisdom he gained from his past experience. 

Jordan’s journey serves as a reminder that even the most successful individuals can falter when emotions are involved, and proper financial planning is essential to protecting one’s wealth.

In the end, Michael Jordan’s legacy isn’t solely defined by his six NBA championships or his groundbreaking business ventures – it’s also marked by his ability to learn from mistakes and emerge stronger, both on and off the court.
