In the south of France, Michael Jordan and his wife Yvette Prieto were spotted publicly for the first time wearing only swimwear.

NBA legend Michael Jordan hasn’t been seen in public since the approval of the mind-boggling $3 billion sale of his Charlotte Hornets the day before yesterday. The sale price was announced yesterday.

This summer, the Chicago Bulls hero, who is now 60 years old, and his attractive wife, Yvette Prieto, have been traveling throughout southern Europe, and Villefranche-sur-Mer was the most recent stop on their itinerary.

Jordan planned to celebrate his record-breaking buy by taking his family swimming in the South of France. The sale of the Charlotte Hornets for $3 billion to a company managed by Rick Schnall and Gabe Plotkin was approved by the board of governors of the National Basketball Association on Sunday. Off the shore of this town on the French Riviera, Jordan and his wife Yvette were spotted relaxing on a luxurious yacht together.

While Jordan and the rest of his family were taking it easy in a deck chair, one of the couple’s twin children reached over and gave him a peck on the cheek.

Yvette, who dazzled in a large set of diamond stud earrings, could be seen happy and laughing as she listened to the conversation that was taking place amongst friends and relatives on the boat before she went to cool off in an AquaBanas inflatable that was anchored off the side of the vessel.

This is the first time that his family has been together since his NBA franchise, the Hornets, were put up for sale.

When the sale of the team is finally finalized, which is expected to take place within the next few weeks, Jordan will maintain a minor ownership position in the organization.

Back in March, rumors started spreading that Jordan may sell the team to Plotkin and Schnall. These rumors were the first to arise. In 2010, Jordan paid a total of $275 million to acquire the controlling ownership of the NBA franchise that was located in his home state.

Forbes’ most recent valuation of the Hornets places them at number 27 among NBA clubs at $1.7 billion. This represents a growth of $1.3 billion in value over the course of the preceding ten years.

It is generally agreed upon that Michael Jordan was the best player that the National Basketball Association (NBA) has ever produced. Jordan is presently the only African-American owner in the NBA.

Jordan’s accomplishments as a player, which included six NBA titles and five MVP awards, did not translate into the same level of success for him as an owner. During his stint as head coach, Charlotte has routinely ranked among the league’s bottom teams in terms of overall performance.

imageBecause of this, Jordan’s ownership of the Hornets hasn’t been very significant, with the exception of the 2015 rebranding of the team from the Bobcats to the Hornets.

Since Jordan became the main owner of the franchise, Charlotte has only had three seasons in which they finished in first place, and they have made two trips to the postseason. During the previous week, Jordan was seen taking a break from the heat wave that was sweeping across Europe on board the yacht along with his family.

While Yvette was seen moving around the yacht in her workout clothing, Jordan was noticed seated at his dining table with his children. Yvette was seen going around the yacht.

A week ago, he was seen having dinner at the legendary Lemon Tree restaurant in Capri with Magic Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson.

The band at the restaurant serenaded the group of three pals in a lighthearted manner, and Johnson later posted an entertaining video of Jordan and himself smiling along with the music.

Johnson shared his experience on Instagram, writing, “Tonight we enjoyed an incredible dinner at the world-famous Da Paolino Ristorante AKA the lemon tree restaurant in Capri, Italy.”

And I had the opportunity to mingle with John and Vicki Palmer, Judge Greg and Linda Mathis, Sam (Samuel L. Jackson) and LaTanya Jackson, and Michael Jordan and his wife Yvette. Michael Jordan is widely regarded as the best basketball player in the history of the sport.

Prieto, who is Jordan’s wife, and the two of them keep a low profile most of the time.

Jordan made his proposal to the model of Cuban descent in 2011, which was three years after they had first met in a nightclub in Miami in 2008.

They had their first child the following year after they tied the knot in 2013, making their children nine years old now.

MJ and Yvette spent some time in Paris before continuing their trip to Italy. As they were leaving a restaurant, a reporter asked Jordan whether it was acceptable with him for his son Marcus, who is 32 years old, to date Larsa Pippen, who is the ex-wife of his Bulls teammate Scottie Pippen, who is 49 years old. This exchange was caught on tape by the reporter.

He laughed and said, “No!” in response. Then, in a more recent episode of the podcast that Marcus and Larsa host, the two of them shared their honest reactions to Michael’s remark and opened up about how it affected them.

On the one hand, Marcus was ‘dying laughing’ at Michael’s remark, which was ‘hilarious to me’ since ‘I know my dad, right?’ Marcus was laughing so hard that he was literally dying.

Larsa, on the other hand, “didn’t think it was funny,” “found nothing funny about it,” and was mystified that Marcus found the scenario to be humorous.

Marcus shared his thoughts by saying, “Competition runs in my family.” When it comes to the Jordans, you should know that trash talking is kind of in our DNA. And it serves to inspire us. We let ourselves be compelled by it.

When he heard what Michael had to say about Larsa, he immediately concluded that Michael was being intentionally misleading. He is having a good time and making jokes. You should realize that all he is doing is having fun.

Marcus remarked in a joking manner that his father may have been “a little lit” from tequila the night of his viral jab at Larsa at the Parisian cafe Matignon. He said this in an attempt to make light of the situation.
