Michael Jordan is one of the greatest basketball players to ever play the game. His legacy is like no other athlete in the world, regardless of the sport. He won 6 NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls and won the three-peat twice. That Bulls team is the only one in history to achieve that. 

Jordan is also the richest athlete in the world. He lives his life lavishly. As such, he owns multiple mansions worth millions of dollars. Unsurprisingly, MJ has a collection of expensive watches and luxurious cars. Everything Jordan does is well in keeping with his riches. 

It was natural when ‘His Airness’ married his girlfriend Yvette Prieto that it was going to be something absolutely massive and memorable. Also, everyone knows MJ’s love for golf. In fact, his love is so strong that when he got married, it was on a golf course just in his backyard.

On a Saturday in 2013, Jordan wed longtime girlfriend Yvette Prieto, and the reception was held at the Bear’s Club, a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf club and community in Jupiter, Fla. Courtesy of Niklaus, a golfing legend, Jordan spent millions of dollars for the perfect wedding and reception.

The realty company called it the “largest tent in wedding history”. According to JeffRealty.com, a whopping 40,000 square feet was the size of Jordan’s wedding tent, a record as 5,000 square feet larger than his mansion, which is about a solid 3-wood away from where the reception was held.

MJ and Yvette met each other for the first time in a club in 2008. They were in a nightclub in Miami. Both had gone there separately with their friends to attend an event and they just had a conversation. That random chat can be considered eventful as the duo started dating later that year. Eventually, they moved in together in 2009.

Jordan proposed to his beloved during the Christmas of 2011 and two years later, they married in grand fashion. Before the wedding reception, the couple said their vows at the Bethesda-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church. They have been together ever since and the couple has enjoyed about 9 years together.
