Jordan‘s 32,683-square-foot home was sold this week for $9.5 million, according to the listing on Compass.
That is just one-third of the original $29 million asking price.
The estate was last listed in 2015 for $14.8 million.
The Chicago Bulls legend bought seven acres of property during his NBA days in 1991 before building the 56,000-square-foot mansion in 1995, per The Athletic.
The house underwent massive renovations in 2009.
The luxury property has an indoor regulation-sized basketball court, a tennis court, a putting green, and a swimming pool.
The home also features an indoor gym, a library, a cigar room, and a multi-car garage.
The house has nine bedrooms, 19 bathrooms – 15 of them full-sized, an office space, and five fireplaces.
The property also features entry gates featuring Jordan’s No. 23 jersey number.
The mansion had been a popular tourist attraction while it was on the market and served as a photo-op for NBA and Jordan fans.
Jordan recently sold his Chicago condominium for $6.8 million last year.
He also has condos and a lake home in his native North Carolina and a luxury property in Florida.
Recently, Jordan has spent time overseas and traveled during the summer with his wife Yvette Prieto.
He was a 14-time NBA All-Star and played with the Bulls from 1984 to 1993 in his first stint, winning three titles during that span.

Jordan retired and didn’t play professional basketball for two seasons.
The shooting guard returned to his drafted team in 1995 and played there until 1998, also winning three titles during that span.
Jordan played the last two seasons of his career with the Washington Wizards before making his final retirement after the 2003-04 season.
He has a net worth of $3.5 billion.
Last year, Jordan sold his share of the Charlotte Hornets for approximately $3 billion, which was a profit of $2.25 billion.
He also has a shoe empire with his Air Jordan brand at Nike and his iconic Hall of Fame resume.
