Michael Jordan’s Luxurious $80 Million Yacht 

Beyond his achievements on the basketball court, Michael Jordan’s financial success has enabled him to indulge in opulent purchases, including an impressive $80 million super yacht named ‘Joy’.

This extravagant acquisition stands as one of the most significant single purchases made by Jordan. Notably, ‘Joy’ is not his only yacht; he also owns a $21 million vessel named ‘Mr. Terrible’. 

‘Joy’, acquired in 2016, spans a remarkable 230 feet in length and boasts a height of almost 10 feet.

Inside the luxurious confines of ‘Joy’, a multitude of amenities awaits. Spread across five decks and adorned with eight cabins, the yacht features an indoor jacuzzi, a movie theater, a spa, and an exquisite dining room. 

One of its standout features is the owner’s pavilion, housing a penthouse suite, personal office, and a terrace offering panoramic ocean views.

For those seeking recreation, ‘Joy’ offers a gym and even an indoor basketball court, paying homage to Jordan’s basketball legacy. However, maintaining such opulence comes at a cost; the yacht requires a crew of approximately 19 people available 24/7, incurring a staggering maintenance fee of $800,000 weekly.

Interestingly, ‘Joy’ isn’t exclusively reserved for Jordan and his inner circle. Anyone with a budget of $840,000 can rent the vessel for a week, providing a taste of the luxurious life Michael Jordan enjoys on the high seas.
