Michael Jordan reportedly shelled out $2.2 million to Automobil Pininfarina for a 1-on-1, custom-made Battista Targamerica sports car recently. The car was made especially for Michael Jordan, presumably at his request, and he is the only person in the world who can claim that he owns this specific vehicle.
Michael Jordan is a long-known car aficionado, who has been a buyer of expensive cars pretty much since his professional NBA career began. In fact, he once bought seven cars in one day during his rookie year in the league. What began then has now turned into an incredible collection of cars, which you can read more about here.
Jordan is one of the wealthiest men on the planet, boasting a billion-dollar empire off the back of his NBA career, but more notably, his brand. Jordan Brand is one of the most valuable and sought-after brands in both sports and hype fashion, with some of the shoes garnering incredible popularity among fans.
Jordan Brand has become iconic, having resonated with fans all over the world, and many fans see the idea of owning a pair of Jordan sneakers as a status symbol. This popularity helped make Michael Jordan the richest NBA player of all time, well after his basketball career ended.
Many of the NBA’s most popular stars, such as Luka Doncic and Zion Williamson, are signed to Jordan Brand, and wear his shoes during NBA games. The signing of these big-name players as brand athletes was a massive boost to the popularity of the already iconic shoe line.
Concern For Michael Jordan’s Health
After Michael Jordan’s latest public appearance, there was concern among fans for his health. A picture of him at the recent AS Monaco vs. FC Barcelona game showed him with bloodshot eyes, sparking worries about the health of His Airness. His eyes were very similar to the red eyes he boasted in several parts of The Last Dance docuseries.
It is very likely that the bloodshot eyes came about due to Jordan’s cigar smoking. Much like his passion for cars, Jordan also loves smoking cigars and is known to enjoy a cigar often. Cigar smoke, or smoke of any kind can cause bloodshot eyes, especially if the smoke goes anywhere near the eyes.
Jordan lives an incredibly private life, so not a lot of information is available about him unless he is spotted out in public. Prior to his appearance in Monaco, Jordan was spotted vacationing with his wife, Yvette Prieto, in Saint-Tropez, where the happy couple was seen dancing and having a wonderful time together.
Fans will hope that the recent picture was nothing more than an outlier. Jordan is one of the most popular figures in the history of the NBA, and fans want to see him live a long and healthy life, even if that means getting to see him very rarely.
