The New Owner of Michael Jordan’s Longtime Chicagoland Mansion Is Turning It Into a Timeshare

After more than 12 years on the market, Michael Jordan’s longtime Chicago-area mansion finally sold at the end of 2024. Now, it’s available again, but this time, for co-ownership.

Chicago-area real-estate investor John Cooper closed on the home, named Champions Point, at the beginning of December, buying it for $9.5 million, records show. He got a steep discount for the Highland Park mansion, which was initially asking $29 million when it was first listed in 2012, Mansion Global previously reported

Cooper is turning the more than 32,000-square-foot megamansion into a timeshare, and bids for weeklong shares are available starting at $1 million, plus 2% of annual expenses, estimated at approximately $25,000 per co-owner, according to a news release on Thursday.

Lizzo’s Modern Beverly Hills Home Just Hit the Market for $16 Million

After buying Jeremy Renner’s snazzily revamped midcentury residence, the “Truth Hurts” singer has opted to sell her 90210 property once owned by Harry Styles.

Now that Lizzo has doled out $12.4 million for actor Jeremy Renner’s longtime midcentury digs in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, the Grammy-winning singer, rapper, and classically trained flutist has decided to put her other home that’s tucked away in a celeb-favored enclave in the mountains above Beverly Hills on the market. The ask is an impressive $16 million, which is a whopping million dollars more than she paid for the place a little more than two years ago.

‘Dumb and Dumber’ Producer Brad Krevoy

‘Dumb and Dumber’ Producer Brad Krevoy Lists His Ocean-View Malibu Estate for $8.5 Million

The Motion Picture Corporation of America CEO purchased the beach getaway in 2019 for nearly $7.8 million.

Brad Krevoy doled out a speck under $7.8 million for a bluff-top estate in the heart of Malibu, in the Sycamore Park enclave across Pacific Coast Highway from the Pacific Ocean, back in 2019. Now, five years later, the veteran entertainment industry executive’s coastal getaway has popped up for sale. But if you’re hoping to score the property, you’re probably out of luck. Records show it’s already under contract to be sold after barely a week on the market.

Listed by Kathryn Bentzen of Coldwell Banker Realty for a speck under $8.5 million, the roughly 1.7-acre parcel is tucked away behind high walls and gates. Multiple structures include an Australian farmhouse-style main home, plus a guesthouse, a pool house with changing facilities and a gym—for a combined total of seven bedrooms and nine baths in about 6,400 square feet.

‘Masters of Sex’ Star Lizzy Caplan

‘Masters of Sex’ Star Lizzy Caplan Lists Her Hollywood Hills Home for $2.85 Million

The 3-bedroom modernist retreat above L.A.’s Bronson Canyon has a peek-a-boo view of the famed Hollywood Sign.

About four years before Lizzy Caplan married English stage and screen actor Tom Riley (and not too long after she split up with late actor Matthew Perry), the veteran film and television actress plunked down a tad more than $1.8 million for a circa 1961 modernist home in Los Angeles that nearly a dozen years later has popped up for sale with a $2.85 million price tag. Patricia Ruben of Sotheby’s International Realty—Los Feliz Brokerage holds the listing.

Alternatively, the 2,100-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bath Hollywood Hills home, on a quiet street above Bronson Canyon in the Los Feliz Oaks neighborhood, is also available for rent at $15,000 per month, down from the original ask of $17,500 per month.

Beyond the gated courtyard entry and through the front doors, an atrium is bursting with lush greenery. Pale wood floors flow into the living room, anchored by a whitewashed raised hearth brick fireplace. Glass sliders open the room to the backyard, and clerestory windows bring tons of light into the fashionably eclectic space. A cozy adjoining sitting area is decked out with a curvaceous built-in sofa alongside built-in bookshelves.

The nearby kitchen, fitted with chef-grade appliances, emerald-green laminate cabinets and a rustic butcher block island set below two Moroccan lanterns, is open to a relaxed dining area that spills out to the backyard through more sliding glass doors.

Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward’s

Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward’s Manhattan Pied-à-Terre Can Be Yours for $10 Million

The Oscar-winning Hollywood legends owned the terraced Fifth Avenue penthouse since the early 1980s.

One of Hollywood’s most successful and enduring couples, Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, long made their home on a 6.8-acre spread in Westport, Connecticut. For decades, they also maintained a penthouse pied-à-terre that Woodward, sixteen years after Newman’s death, has just hoisted onto the market for $9.95 million. Maintenance charges tally up to more than $13,000 per month, according to listings held by Noble Black and Jennifer Stillman of Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

 

According to The New York Times, the couple acquired the penthouse in the early 1980s and used it for weeks-long stays in the city and for entertaining prominent, high-powered friends such as Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Tom Cruise, Cher, and Harry Belafonte. The sale is being handled by the couple’s children on behalf of Woodward, who largely retreated from public life after she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2007. Carefully maintained but not updated much in recent years, the top-floor spread retains original prewar features like nearly 11-foot ceilings, herringbone wood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and decorative wood moldings and built-ins.

The apartment is one of two penthouses atop a handsome, J.E.R. Carpenter-designed limestone-clad building, which was completed in 1925 and stands at the corner of East 93rd Street and Fifth Avenue across from the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir. One of the more distinguished cooperative apartment houses on Fifth Avenue, other notable residents over the years include another entertainment industry couple who have been married for decades, Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan, and James Gorman, the former CEO of Morgan Stanley, who will become chairman of The Walt Disney Company next year.
