NextImg:Michael Jordan, wife enjoy lavish Italy getaway aboard $115 million yacht after NBA on NBC shocker

Michael Jordan is officially in vacation mode.

The NBA icon and future NBC Sports contributor recently landed in Sardinia, Italy, for a lavish European getaway with loved ones, including wife Yvette Prieto and their 11-year-old twin daughters, Victoria and Ysabel, as seen in photos obtained Tuesday by The Post.

Jordan, 62, exited the aircraft in a faded red T-shirt and floral print shorts while Prieto, his wife of 12 years, opted for a white tank top and black sweatpants.

The group later moved from land to sea, where the six-time NBA champion was photographed smoking a cigar in casual threads aboard his megayacht, worth a reported $115 million.

Jordan, who typically vacations in Europe over the summer, shocked the sports media landscape last month when it was revealed he’s joining NBC as a special contributor for the network’s NBA coverage in the upcoming 2025-26 season.

“The NBA on NBC was a meaningful part of my career, and I’m excited about being a special contributor to the project. I’m looking forward to seeing you all when the NBA on NBC launches this October,” he said in a statement at the time.

Although details surrounding Jordan’s NBC role are scarce, CBNC suggested in May “the initial plan is for Jordan to appear in taped segments during the season to provide analysis that will air during pregame shows or halftime shows.”

The NBA announced in July 2024 that the league had signed an 11-year media rights agreement with NBC, the Walt Disney Company and Amazon Prime that runs through the 2035-36 season.

NBC has been loading up on talent for its NBA coverage this offseason, tapping Carmelo Anthony as a studio analyst in May. Jamal Crawford and Reggie Miller will serve as game analysts while Mike Tirico and Noah Eagle are the play-by-play callers.

Jordan played in the NBA for 15 seasons and won six titles with the Bulls in the 1990s.

A 14-time NBA All-Star and five-time league MVP, he spent the final two years of his Hall of Fame career with the Wizards before retiring after the 2002-03 season.

Jordan’s NBC payday has been heavily speculated in recent weeks, with Front Office Sports’ Ryan Glasspiegel reporting Monday that the rumored annual salary of $40 million is “inaccurate.”
