Idea: Let’s buy Michael Jordan’s house and open the next Graceland

At the end of February, Michael Jordan’s Highland Park mansion will mark 10 years on the real estate market.

I was listening to a podcast from the guys at The Hustle — and boy, did they have an interesting idea for Chicago.

Once listed for as much as $29M, the custom-built 56,000 sq. ft. home currently sits on Zillow at half that price. Still no takers.

The first thing Sam and Shaan discuss on their Greatest Hits episode of the My First Million podcast — is having someone buy it and open it up as a museum. A Graceland, White House, or Monticello, if you will.

Brilliant.

No one wants to live in a home built for Mike, that’s obvious — but I’m sure people still want to be like Mike. They want to play hoops on his private court. They want to lay in his bed. They want to watch the 90s championships on his big screen.

So why not open up a museum dedicated to the former Chicago Bulls great? Brilliant idea, guys. — [eric]
