Terrible Lineup: Michael Jordan Shops The 5 Best Supercars And The Shocking Truth Behind Them

 

Michael Jordans car collection includes the world's fastest convertible and a stunning hypercar that only 12 people own.

 

Michael Jordan loves spending his money almost as much as he loves earning it.

And he earns a lot.

The basketball legend recently entered the prestigious Forbes 400 list , officially making him one of the richest people on the planet.

This is an especially impressive feat considering how much of his fortune he spent on buying cars.

Here are some of the most impressive vehicles in its fleet.

While his most famous deal was with Nike, Jordan also had a successful deal with Chevrolet.

When he was only 21 years old, the manufacturer offered him a C4 Corvette in exchange for filming a few commercials.

At the time, the car was best known for featuring in the era’s television series, The A-Team , and remains an iconic model to this day.

To celebrate his newfound fame and wealth , Jordan gave his Corvette the registration number “JUMP 23”.

Much of Jordan’s fortune comes from the sale of his sneaker, the Air Jordan .

He used some of the money he made with Nike to buy a Porsche 930 Turbo Cabriolet.

The model is known as the “Flat Nose” due to its shape which served as inspiration for the Air Jordan VI shoe.

The silhouette of the nose recalls the shape of the sneaker, and the heel tab imitates the whale tail spoiler of the Porsche.

Worth $165,000, this powerful model reaches 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds.

There are only 12 Darkbloods, one of which belongs to Drake .

Another one of these elite cars can be found in Jordan’s garage.

The model name translates to “black blood” and represents a modern take on the art deco style of the Type 57S Atlantique.

It costs $2.25 million and can reach a top speed of 253 mph.

Jordan purchased this Ferrari Testarossa in 1989 for $212,000.

He was almost arrested for driving 90 miles per hour in a 60 mile per hour zone.

After failing to appear in court, he was fortunately able to pay to avoid having an arrest warrant in his name.

The Testarossa’s appearance in Miami Vice helped make it one of the most recognizable models Ferrari has ever produced.

It could reach speeds of 180 mph, putting it on par with the fastest cars of its era.

This year, Jordan added his most expensive car to his collection.

The hypercar is one of only 30 ever made and was personally delivered by Hennessey’s CEO to Jordan’s private golf club.

The Roadster is outrageously luxurious , with a bling-bling “Fury” V8 engine, gullwing doors and hand-polished wheels.

Its price is just as exorbitant, reaching $3.5 million.

Its 2023 Hennessey model holds the title of world’s fastest convertible.

And as such a well-decorated star, it makes sense that Jordan would want his cars to match his caliber.
