Ballin’ Like a Billionaire? MJ’s Former Illinois Mansion Is Now For Rent

I am not sure why someone would spend millions of bucks on a property and then turn around and try to rent it out, but hey, that's a story for a different time.

NBC 5 in Chicago reports that the owner, John Cooper, is now renting out Michael Jordan's former 37,000-square-foot Highland Park mansion to the public.

A rental fit for a champion

Just last month, Cooper tried to get people to co-own his Airness' former pad by offering the public the opportunity to purchase shares of the home for a measly million bucks.

I'm not in the realty business, but I don't think I've ever heard of someone trying to sell stock in a home. Maybe that's just me.

I've heard of timeshares before, but this doesn't sound like the same deal.

Michael Jordan's former home has a new name

Cooper has renamed Jordan's former pad "Champions Point," if you want to stay where the former NBA great laid his head, you can, but you better be a baller.

Because Cooper is asking for nearly a quarter million dollars to rent the place monthly, $230,000.

Whether or not Cooper finds someone willing to fork over the amount he's asking remains to be seen.

One thing is sure: if you want to "Be Like Mike," you better have some deep pockets.
