Michael Jordan is one of the richest NBA players ever. The former 6x NBA Champion rose to fame after establishing a dominant career that spanned over 15 years. MJ is known as the greatest of all time and by a significant margin. He has averaged numbers like no other, won championships like no other, and even dominated the league like no one has ever done before.
During his career, he tried to retire from the sport twice before officially hanging up his jersey in 2003. The Chicago Bulls legend went on to pursue a business career and proceeded to invest his earnings into various ventures. The Michael Jordan Steak House is one of his business ventures which he started back in 1997. Unlike most of his ventures, this one, in particular, does not have anything to do with basketball.
They sell USDA Prime Cuts and various other condiments that go along with a steak meal. The business also has its line of grillware and collectible items with MJ’s Steak House branding. The original and main outlet is located in Grand Central Terminal, New York City. The restaurant is an exquisite high-profile dining space that can occupy 210 visitors in one go.
There are a few other locations in Magnificent Mile (Chicago), Oak Brooks (Illinois), Mohegan Sun, and Uncasville (Connecticut) as well as Ilani Casino Resort and La Center (Washington). The Steak House is a massive contributor to Michael Jordan’s billion-dollar net worth.
