When F. Scott Fitzgerald famously claimed the rich were different from financial mortals, he didn't have Michael Jordan in mind. At his athletic zenith, MJ was a world celebrity who became a global brand. The NBA star made zillions of dollars, some of which paid for a 56-room mansion north of Chicago.
The basketball Sun King's version of Versailles is now going to be auctioned, according to a story in the Chicago Tribune.
I can't handicap the winning bid. However, when the house was made available for an old-fashioned sale, the asking price was $29 million. Apparently, there were no takers for the former Bull's luxurious corral.
