“Taking over Your Wife’s Activities for a Day, That’s Not So Great”: Financially Secure Yet Feeling Aimless, Michael Jordan Once Unveiled His Retirement Lifestyle

Not many people can claim to have achieved the same level of success as Michael Jordan. Many fans consider his six-time NBA champion to be the greatest basketball player of all time. Likewise, the Hall of Famer capitalized on his on-court successes and over the years he built a massive empire worth over a billion. Needless to say, financial hardships haven’t been on his mind since he arrived in the NBA. But few people are financially secure at such a young age. As a result, many fans at the time wondered what “his Airness” did with his free time after retiring from the NBA.

Despite dominating the league during the regular season, the Chicago Bulls legend often went aimlessly uncontrolled on his off days. It got worse during his first retirement. But of all the things that the world can do, Jordan wasn’t looking forward to the inevitable activities when he was at home.

Michael Jordan reveals his peaceful life after retirement

At the height of his career, Michael Jordan shocked the NBA world by announcing his abrupt retirement in 1993. In the world, he appeared in an interview with TV host Larry King. The interview took place at his iconic MJ restaurant in Chicago.

In a taped 1993 interview, among other things, Jordan emphasized his new retirement lifestyle. In the meantime, King said the then-three-time champion was financially secure enough to pursue his ambitions outside of the NBA and maintain his lifestyle and family without a hitch. Jordan, who had accumulated generational wealth by then, responded in the affirmative. As a result, the two discussed what he does all day long after such an intense career.

Jordan subtly digs himself into not doing household chores on a regular basis, revealing a restless, unambitious lifestyle. He said, “When I wake up, I wonder what I want to do that day. it’s not great, but whatever I do, I want to do it.”
