The weekly maintenance bill for Michael Jordan’s $80 million superyacht is really outrageous

Michael Jordan is said to be worth $3 billion, so he can buy anything he wants, including an $80 million superyacht.

Being the wealthiest athlete in the world, like Michael Jordan, enables you to purchase everything you choose.

The list is extensive and includes a hypercar valued at $3.5 million, an ultra-rare timepiece valued at $155,000, and a house in Chicago valued at $14.8 million.

Jordan has, however, spent a significant amount of money on a $80 million superyacht called “Joy.”

The former NBA player spent $21 million on a superyacht named “Mr. Terrible,” but it’s not the only one he owns.

Okay, so let’s go back to the superyacht Joy that Jordan bought in 2016.

When Michael Jordan and a few of his closest pals were visiting the Caribbean island of St. Barts, they were initially spotted on the superyacht.

It’s difficult to miss, being 230 feet long by almost 10 feet broad.

At its cruise speed of 12 knots (22 km/h), the ship can reach a maximum speed of 16 knots (29 km/h).

Teak decks, an aluminium superstructure, and aluminium glass insulation throughout the ship allow it to adjust to changing weather conditions.

Michael Jordan gave the superyacht the name Joy for a reason.

Nearly everything a star could possibly need or desire may be found there.

The five-decker ship offers eight cabins, a movie theatre, a spa, an indoor jacuzzi, and an excellent eating area.

The owner’s pavilion, which houses the penthouse suite, private office, and a balcony with the best views of the ocean, is undoubtedly one of the yacht’s greatest features.

There’s a gym and an indoor basketball court on the yacht for Michael Jordan to use when he wants to stay active.

However, as you may expect, Joy requires a lot of upkeep.

According to Marca, it takes a staff of about 19 people to be on board constantly, and maintaining it costs an incredible $800,000 every week.

Fortunately, yachting isn’t exclusive to Michael Jordan and/or his circle of acquaintances.

For a mere $840,000, anyone may actually rent Joy for a week.
