In 2013, Michael Jordan wed Yvette Prieto; the two of them have twin daughters, Victoria and Ysabel.
If Michael Jordan and his wife decide to get a divorce, the payout might be extremely large.
Given that his ex-wife, Juanita Vanoy, makes a respectable $168 million, Jordan, 61, has already had to go through the agony once.
However, it is evident that the former NBA player has learned his lessons because he has since entered into a new relationship.
Recently, rumors have been circulating about how much Prieto would be entitled to if all went wrong?
For each year of their marriage, 46-year-old Prieto would receive $1 million, according to legal experts Kajko, Weisman and Colasanti, LLP.
“Under the terms of the prenuptial agreement, his wife will get $1 million for each year they remain married, but if they stay married for more than ten years then she will receive the tidy sum of $5 million per year of marriage,” according to their website. Jordan’s previous divorce resulted in his granting his wife custody of their three children and paying her almost $168 million.
She was also allowed to keep the large 25,000-square-foot Chicago estate that was the marital residence.
It’s obvious that Jordan is being a little more cautious this time around after they first met in 2008 at a nightclub in Miami.
In 2013, the former Washington Wizards legend married for the second time, despite being 16 years apart in age.
If they were to get divorced now, Prieto would be entitled to $50 million, which would show how carefully Jordan planned to safeguard his assets.
Jordan’s wealth skyrocketed to $3.5 billion in 2023. The sale of his full ownership in the Charlotte Hornets was a crucial factor in this.
Jordan stated, “Even though I still have a deep passion for basketball and the NBA, it’s time for me to step back and concentrate on my family, my hobbies, and some new challenges.”
“I am eager to support the team and the community in my new role for many years to come, and I am excited to see what the future holds.”
“The state of North Carolina, the city of Charlotte, and the Hornets will always hold a special place in my heart, so this is a thank you rather than a farewell.”
