Speaking to the Lincoln Journal Star, the buyer of the legendary mansion revealed himself as 42-year-old John Cooper of Lincoln, Nebraska. Cooper works at the HAN Capital real estate investment firm in Lincolnwood, Illinois and moved to the Windy City over a decade ago.
Cooper held his 42nd birthday party at Michael Jordan’s old home that initially hit the market for $29 million in 2012. Cooper said he has “exciting plans” to announce for the home in the new year, though he emphasized they won’t include significant renovations of any kind.
