Basketball icon Michael Jordan is in Croatia, soaking up the Adriatic sun on a luxe summer escape with his family. The NBA legend was spotted in Skradin, a charming coastal town nestled near Krka National Park, which has turned the quiet Dalmatian destination into the center of international attention.
Jordan, 62, arrived aboard the jaw-dropping superyacht M'Brace, estimated to be worth around $150 million. The sleek vessel has been hard to miss on the Croatian coast, making a grand entrance and drawing plenty of onlookers at sea and on land.
His wife, Yvette Prieto, twin daughters, Victoria and Ysabel, and his mother, Deloris Jordan, are joining him on the trip.
A Surprise Sighting in Skradin
Known for its stunning waterfalls and pristine natural beauty, Skradin is often a quiet haven for nature lovers and boating enthusiasts. But the town's peaceful energy was temporarily charged with excitement as locals and tourists spotted the six-time NBA champion exploring the area.
Wearing a crisp white tee and bucket hat, Jordan was the picture of relaxed luxury. His wife, Yvette, beamed in a chic black swimsuit and round sunglasses, radiating vacation vibes as they cruised through the town's marina.
Despite his global fame, Jordan kept things low-key. He had a limited entourage to prioritize family time and a laid-back escape.
The Yacht Life: Aboard the M'Brace
Jordan's superyacht, M'Brace, is a floating palace over 74 meters long and features many luxurious amenities. It boasts multiple decks with panoramic views, state-of-the-art entertainment systems, a fully equipped gym, Jacuzzis, private lounges, an onboard chef, and dedicated staff to cater to every need, and a garage with water toys to enhance the ocean experience.
Built by the renowned Abeking & Rasmussen from Germany, who launched M'Brace in 2018, the yacht is a staple among the ultra-elite, providing everything a billionaire might desire for the perfect Mediterranean holiday.
Croatia: The New Jet-Set Favorite
Croatia has become a top summer destination for celebrities and yacht owners, including Jeff Bezos, thanks to its stunning coastline, hidden coves, and UNESCO-protected towns. From Dubrovnik to Hvar to Skradin, the country offers a unique mix of old-world charm and modern luxury.
Local businesses are already reporting a bump in interest, and it's safe to say that Michael Jordan's visit will be remembered as a highlight of the 2025 tourist season.
A Luxurious Summer
In early June, the basketball legend touched down in Sardinia via private jet with his family in tow. The crew stepped off their sleek private jet like a walking luxury brand campaign. The 61-year-old NBA legend led the way in a jumper from his Jordan Brand line.
Jordan uses his vast wealth to meet the demands of his busy businessman lifestyle. According to Forbes, his net worth is estimated to be $3.5 billion as of 2024, making him the first athlete to join the ranks of America's wealthiest individuals.
Jordan's airplane is a custom-built Gulfstream jet valued at $70 million. The exterior features a unique paint job that costs over $500,000. The iconic Air Jordan "Jumpman" logo on the plane's tail further enhances this distinctive look. Additionally, the tail number carries special significance: the "23" represents Jordan's jersey number during his career with the Chicago Bulls, while the "6" denotes his six NBA championships. The "MJ" stands for his initials.
This jet is among the fastest and most advanced business jets available today. It can fly up to 7,500 miles without refueling, making it ideal for long-distance travel.
