One of the wealthiest athletes in the world, Michael Jordan makes no effort to conceal his fortune, as seen by his $15 million golf course.
During his playing career, the NBA great was signed to the largest NBA deal, which was estimated to be worth $33 million annually. He would be earning the biggest pay in the league now, about $50 million, if you take inflation into account.
Jordan’s salary being the biggest NBA pay ever made makes sense. It makes fitting that he was paid that much considering that he is considered the best basketball player in history.
But the majority of Jordan’s $1.7 billion current net worth came from his post-playing career. He has made outrageous profits from his Jordan brand, and in addition, he owns the Charlotte Hornets, demonstrating his ability to stay in the business sector and make money.
Jordan, the Bulls legend, is passionate about pursuing his interests and enjoys blowing his money on expensive cigars and an outstanding collection of cars. You might therefore not be surprised that he owns a $15 million golf course.
Jordan owns a private golf course called The Grove XXIII, which is exclusive to a small number of golf lovers worldwide. The Hobe Sound, Florida course is known as “Slaughterhouse XXIII” due to Jordan’s supremacy on his home course. You may read the explanation for the name here.
To put it briefly, though, the course is maintained daily in a way that specifically suits Jordan’s style of play. This involves placing the back tees at predetermined locations, which disadvantages visitors by forcing them to place the ball in more confined spaces.
This course offers an unlimited array of features and facilities, such as drink-delivering drones, scooters that double as caddies, and carts that can reach speeds of up to 35 mph.
There are four distinct ways to play the course’s double-helix layout using two nines in combination. Additionally, there is a 15,000 square foot clubhouse with dining areas and lounges. This location essentially offers everything you could ask for in an opulent golf course.
This training is likewise quite limited in access. Only eighty individuals worldwide are eligible to become members of the Grove XXIII. Big celebrities including Stephen Curry, Barack Obama, five-time PGA Tour winner Rickie Fowler, actor Mark Wahlberg, and American fashion designer Mossimo Giannuli are on the list, which is available in its entirety here.
Fowler has played the course numerous times, and it was he who gave the explanation for Jordan’s significant edge when playing on his course. This course is screaming money and Jordan. Nothing compares to the NBA GOAT more than building his own obscenely costly golf course and then dominating it. This film shows you what else Jordan buys with his money; the golf course comes in at about 2:24.
