Buyer of Michael Jordan’s $9.5m Chicago mansion hit with major issue after NBA star took 13 years to sell it

The man who bought Michael Jordan’s $9.5million mansion has been forced to slash rent prices after putting the house on the market for $230,000 a month.
Jordan finally sold the nine-bedroom, 19-bathroom property back in December – after 13 years of waiting.
Businessman John Cooper paid $9.5m for the mansion – barely half of the $14.89m asking price.
According to Realtor.com, he put it on the rental market for $230,000 a month but, after failing to find a tenant, he has cut the price to $150,000.
Cooper has renamed the mansion ‘Champions Point’ and, according to the rental advert, it offers tenants ‘a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity’ to enjoy a house ‘meticulously designed for those who live and breathe sports.’
The estate includes a basketball court, putting green, tennis court and a gym, as well as an infinity pool, theatre, wine cellar, and cigar room.
