TALK ABOUT ROLLING IN THE DOUGH!!!
Celebrity divorces happen every day, and so do those big payouts to respective spouses. Word is that Chicago bank officer, Juanita Vanoy (Michael Jordan’s ex-wife for the slow ones) is going to be getting PAID!!! I’m talking to the tune of 150 million dollars!!!
According to Forbes Magazine, this settlement could end up as the most expensive in entertainment history, if Juanita walks away with some of his fortune. That blows that Strahan chick out of the water.

Couples should talk about retirement
There are many reasons why I agreed to marry my husband, but one thing that clinched it for me was his answer to a question I asked early in our courtship. "Where do you see yourself when you retire?" I wondered. "I see myself in a rocking chair ...
Talks about abuse hard for parents
LOS ANGELES -- Sinister allegations of abuse by at least two teachers in a Los Angeles school have forced awkward discussions as parents warn youngsters that people they trust -- pastors, teachers, even relatives -- might do things that could ...
It’s Like I said, Get Lawyered Up and Get Paid!
BALLIN!
Dayum!!! I heard he’s a cheating dog, so she deserves that money.
Juanita is definitely about to get paid, she’s put in her time I think its well deserved.
Mike now probably refers to her as Cookie Monster. Tee hee!
Once again I married (and divorced) wrong!!! Man!!! Gotta get it right next time!
For that kind of money, he best go beg for Juanita’s forgiveness and go to therapy or something. Before it even starts, don’t diss Juanita just because you watched Michael Jordan play bastketball a decade ago. His athletic ability does not make him a superhuman in his personal life.
I said she is a gold digger.
She shouldn’t get half from Mike. How about 1/8 of Mike’s fortune. She only raised his kids thats it. The millions that Michael is worth is all by his own doing. DAMN GOLD DIGGERS
Rich men !!!!! Heed my warning ….. divorce is sumarian for financial castration . Stop it !! 70 percent of all divorces r filed by women . It’s their ultimate revenge . Wise up …….
Big money!Money talks for real..
Seriously, if my spouse stood to gain that much money off of divorcing me, I would try to go to some sort of counseling and make sure that there was no chance that the marriage could be saved first. People are way too quick to get married and way too quick to give up on matrimony these days. In the words of the old divorce court judge: “Look deep before you leap!”
And Juanita was a good woman, from what I could tell. She put up with his momma, helped him through his addictions, ignored his white woman fettish…
How can this happen? I mean do these dudes not sign pre-nups…mind-boggling.
You cant trust these fe’s mess around get divorced and she gonna take my unlimited EBT funds lol, not a good look.(disclaimer: don’t own a EBT card, nothing wrong with it tho, get that free money!)
They were together a long time, but, hey, when enough is enough, u gotta do what u gotta do.
Don’t know why the dollar amount she is to receive is a surprise to anyone…hello, does anyone NOT know who Michael Jordan is? I think he shits gold…
thats probaly why she stayed with him so long, so that PTO COULD ADD UP!!
PAID TIME OFF!!
co-sign @ Decysive.. You are so right!
Don’t worry Jordan I’m gonna go to the Derby next month and “K-Fed” one of these celebrity chicks…get them pregnant, get married and then divorced and recieve child support of $25,000/month. These celebrity females better bring condoms and contreceptives cause I aint!!!
Are u saying Mike’s worth 300 million? It seems as though he would be worth more than that.
I’m glad Juanita is getting her money. But in all fairness, I do think when dealing with Large sums of money like this…A large portion should be put in2 a trust for the kids.
Still, Mike must be thinking it was cheaper to keep her.
kind.
And u females tell me what in the world she did that’s worth 150 million . Raised kids …. got ppl for that . He cheated ….. so did she !!! Rich niccas better open they collective eyes . Marriage is fucking niccas way more than the wife did in the respective years !!!!
Got Damn!! Money, money, money! MONEAH!!
Shooot the way kids get up at 3 and buy J’s she could get that much.
So what? She put in mad years with Mike when he was just starting out and she has his children. Not like another athlete that I read about whose wife kept having abortions with his kids and she’s still gonna get paid.
Cosign Sharonda, Mike might be a lil hurt, but he’s still far from broke.
Is Mike looking for a new wife now? Cause hey, I’m available. I want $150 million too!!!

Hold up. Men completely undervalue a woman’s contributions to the marriage (especially when they aren’t financial). Birthing & raising children is priceless enough.
And Juanita Jordan is certainly no dummy, trust.
TODAY WILL BE A SUCKA FREE FRIDAY! SIKE! THE BUNY RABBIT GOT WHAT HE DESERVED.
MARRIAGE IS A SERIOUS THING, NO ONE MAKES YOU GET MARRIED AND HAVE KIDS YOU CHOOSE TO. IF MIKE WANTS TO LIVE THAT PLAYERS LIFESTYLE THEN HE SHOULDN’T HAVE GOTTEN MARRIED!
SHE GETS THE MONEY FOR PAIN AND SUFFERRING. WE FLY HIGH WE BALLIN. GO GIRL!!
This is just a shame ! Do anybody even stay together anymore?
Lol i know right Sharonda! I be trippen when i hear about how fights be breakin out when the last size is gone lol I be like damn is it that serious? I LOVE MJ he is da SHIT, but ive never owned a pair of Jordans. But damn 150 mil is a lot, but he probably cheated on her and shit im sure she deserves that money and much more.
@19 GO get your bitter sounding self in the corner! How do you know who was rasing her kids? You always post those women bashing comments! Stop taking your personal issues out on the post!
FOR THE PEOPLE WHO CALL HER A GOLD DIGGER GO AND SIT IN A CORNER!
WHAT THE REST OF AMERICA DOESN’T UNDERSTAND IS WHY THESE MEN WHO ARE WORTH 90 MILLON DOLLARS. SETTLE DOWN AND GET MARRIED AND THEN WANT TO BE PLAYERS. D WADE, CARMELO ANTHONY, TONY PARKER AND LEBRON JAMES.
YOU HAVE TO RESPECT THE SANCITY OF MARRIAGE. YOU DON’T PLAY AROUND WITH THAT. MOST IMPORTANT DON’T INTRODUCE THAT LIFESTYLE TO CHILDREN. NOW SOCIETY WONDERS WHY MEN ACT THE WAY THEY DO!!! BECAUSE OF MEN WHO ACT LIKE THAT!!
I’m not all about an ex-spouse should receive half of the other person’s earnings when filing for divorce. But, that is one woman that deserves every penny of that dough. Do you hear me? She loved him and she gave him so many chances. He has embarrassed her and her family and she’s tired. God and her family only knows what she really put up with. He’ll wish many of days that he was a better husband to her.
I guess they try to work out their problems because everybody in marriage has problems.
And I’m pretty sure Mike is not crying about this, the dude has money for the all of us.
And yes I be hearing about fights breaking out when J’s come out, I still don’t get it and probably never will lol.People where I live will buy Js before their rent is due, thats how MIKE is getting paid.
awwwwww DAMN!!!
WE WANT PRE-NUP!
i never seen her dunk a b-ball before she shouldn’t get shit
THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM IS NOT BASED ON JUSTICE IT ABOUT “SETTING AN EXAMPLE”. IF YOU DO A THEN B WILL HAPPEN. ALL THE OTHER BALL PLAYERS NEED TO WISE UP!! I DON’T SEE THAT HAPPENING BECAUSE ME ARE SO WEAK MINDED!! THEY WILL GET TAKEN TO THE CLEANERS BY THEIR WIVES SOON AND RIGHT FULLY SO. EVEN IN THE BIBLE IT SAYS AN EYE FOR AN EYE TOOTH FOR AN TOOTH. I FIGHT FIRE, WITH FIRE!
WHAT GOES AROUND COMES BACK AROUND!
FAIR EXCHANGE ISN’T ROBBERY…..WE FLY HIGH!
That what he gets!
Looks like Mike shoulda been at home eatin Juanita’s “goodies” every night……….I’m sure he was out bangin some way hotter chicks, but none of those broads is worth $150 mil………He shoulda got that pre-nup in the beginning. He was already in the NBA when he met her. She seems like a good woman though, and Mike did her wrong.
Moral of the story: Better Start Lickin’ Your Wife.
Thats why when women marry men with money, never put yourself in the backburner,get that money!At least thats what my momma told me.Marrying under the eyes of God is different than marrying under the system.
I read somewhere that Micheal agreed to pay her 1/2 his fortune. She deserves it I bet she been to hell and back.
Juanita Jordan is SUPPOSE to receive whatever settlement that she received in her divorce trial.
Here’s Why:
Michael Jordan would have never been able to achieve the success that he had in the Basketball field, had he not had a supportive help mate by his side.
I don’t know how long they were married, (I know it was at least 20 years), but when she married him, he had just came out of college and was just starting his career.
She had to raise the kids (a lot of times by herself) get them off to school, help them to study, create a warm and inviting atmosphere in the home…..
Since Man can not concentrate on his performance at work without his affairs at his HOME being on point, it would stand to reason, that
The wife is a significant partner is the marriage agreement, and she SHOULD reap some of the rewards of that marriage if any.
Many people are tripping over the figure, but Michael Jordan is worth (and has earned) Three times that amount.
The Judge has probably awarded her HALF his present net worth
The Bible says that if you put away your wife through divorce that you MUST provide for her.
Yep, GOD said that…..
Co-sign with 30. Wow, she ONLY raised his kids, essentially single handedly as he was having a career, supported her husband throughout his career and stood by him even after he cheated. Some of you stated that she cheated. She doesn’t appear to be a stupid woman so I sincerely doubt that. She might have seen someone while they were separated. No one with a brain cheats on the very wealthy breadwinner.
Actually, the 50:50 thing is only done in California. In some states, she would only get child support which I don’t think is fair at all. She was with him before he became a superstar I believe so all his money is communal property.
When YOUR man repeatedly cheats on you after numerous attempts to save your marriage and essentially treats you like a dog, then tell me YOU don’t deserve his money.
Darnell, IF that statistic is right, your thinking is completely wrong. Of all those people, how many do you think are wealthy and seeking “revenge”? Money issues (= being broke) top the reasons why Americans divorce. The sad part is that you’re probably poorer apart than you are together.
150 million aint hurting Mike. Thats like chump change to him. And Coko you’re right he does shit gold.
And the moral of this story is…It’s cheaper to keep’her.
Gosh
Decysive, what you said about men undervaluing the contributions that women make to the marriage is SO TRUE.
Darnell, woah babe, I don’t know why you have your “manties” in a bunch but I really think you need to look at the sanctity of marriage, what it really represents & the sacrifices that are often made by the female half of the relationship in regards to dealing with the male & his inabilities to honor ALL his vows.
THis sentence right here is a GOOD reason why Juanita is LEGALLY & RIGHTFULLY entitled to HALF (said in my best Eddie Murphy Raw voice)
“On July 21, 2006, a Cook County, Illinois judge determined that Jordan did not owe a former lover, Karla Knafel, $5 million.[100] Knafel claimed Jordan promised her that amount for remaining silent and agreeing not to file a paternity suit after Knafel learned she was pregnant in 1991. A DNA test showed Jordan was not the father of the child.[100]”
Drama & infidelity is still DRAMA & INFIDELITY no matter HOW PAID YOU are!!!
You know what Im tired of these men getting married, be with they wive for years on out!!! They wives support them, hold them down, and have their children, take care of the household when they was broke and ugly. Then they blow up BIG, and CHEAT and LIE to they wives for CHEAP, GOLD DIGGA WOMEN. And as soon as the divorce happens she gets half like she is suppose too! Then corny broke guys want to holla PRENUP? What happen to death do us part? When your married everything is 50/50. I dont believe in divorces anyway. The truth is marriages are JOKES these days and everyone wants an easy way out of it. I lost all respect for MJ when his mistress came to light. Yall know pimpin aint easy…..
DAAAAAAAAAAAMN GO HEAD JUANITA DAMN!
IM STILL MAD THEY DIVORCING NOTHINGS COOL ABOUT THAT, HE CANT BE MAD ABOUT HER GETTING THE MONEY, IF HE’D ACTED RIGHT THEY’D STILL BE TOGETHER AND BESIDES SHE STUCK BY HIM THROUGH IT ALL AND GAVE HIM 3 BABIES SO SHE DESERVES IT ALL…
Juanita and MJ were married for 17yrs. They have 3 children. Juantia put in her time. She dealt with his mother not liking her (thats why the snuck and got married in Vegas), she dealt with his habitual cheating and even reconsiled w/him after it became wide spread public knowledge that he had a girlfriend for several years! (ya’ll remember that white girl in the papers) Soooo, Its not Juanita trapped him, or conspired to swindle him out of money. He should be honored that all he is losing is $150Mil (possibly a little more) MJ is worth that amount multiple times over…..6 NBA Rings, all his ball camps and his sneaker regin, plus endorsements….that man will NOT be hurting nor will he even feel that money missing.
Mike was my all-time favorite ball player and although he’s retired, he still holds that rank w/me. I still love me some MJ. But, still I have to give credit where it is due….and Juanita is DUE that credit and that $$$$!!!
Hey Bill, WELL SAID, & I am glad to hear it from the perspective of a MAN. (and I do NOT use that word lightly)
brothers beware marriage I’m in my mid 30′s and I’ve never beeb engaged don’t these celebs knoqw when it’s all about the money.
who wants to get married not me not ever mike better start doing some more ballpark commercials.
you know what?? said:
“awwwwww DAMN!!!
WE WANT PRE-NUP”…..Don’t let Kanye Hype ya’ll up,
In the REAL WORLD it’s mostly SISTERS that need the PRE-NUPS!
kind.
Bashyboo, yeah I have to agree with you that is SUCKS that they are divorcing. To me they were the quintessintial couple who could withstand anything. sigh…. SMH
Juanita deserves all that money for all the emotional stress she been through. @ Decysive, say it.
The bottomline is if you’re gonna get married, stay faithful, if you can’t do that and have to pay the price for being a hoe-ish spouse, so be it.
The decisson to give his ex-wife half was not the court decison. It was Michael. I have to give it to him. He knew what he put his wife through, as well as his family. So he had stated previously that she can have whatever she wanted from him. He was a jerr. Don’t get me wrong he is one of the best ball palyers of all time. Can’t no one take that away from Mike. But he played Juanita for a very, very long time. She stood by when when all the other women he was cheating with was taking him to court. In most cases he settled, in a few he fought. Ans yes, she was there.
We tend to underestimate was a mother does daily. Especially a working mother. Juanita was a WORKING MOTHER. She was not just collecting a check from Mike and spending it on frevilous things.
Mike fucked up. He admitted it. A human being can only take so much. I don’t care what this world thinks. When you cheat on a person constantly it will take a emotional toll a person. I am pretty sure Juanita will enjoy this money, but her healing has just begun. She was with this man for many years. It is going to take some time.
KIND, OMG that is so the truth!!! IN the real world, we’re the ones that end up with our credit jacked up, our bank accounts drained, AND the kids to take care of… (and NO I have never been married nor do I have any children but I HAVE been engaged to 2 Broke duds -I mean dudes)
Jordan said, that Juanita was the reason he invested Nike and made the Jordan shoes brand.
Kindancie
I feel ya Kayne COrnball ass got these dudes hype of that Prenup thang buts its
more like sistas need to say ~WE ~NEED ~CONDOMS~ WE ~NEED ~CONDOMS~All these cheatin, lyin, DL men runnin around her gettin they rocks off!
Yes Bill! YES! All those calling her a gold-digger & such. PLEASE don’t get married, apparently you don’t understand what marriage is about.
$150 million???? Wow!
I think she deserves that and more. She raised his kids and kept his household. And for all those people who said that she was not on the basketball court with him, no she was not, but she sure as hell was taking care of his household and putting up with his cheating and disrespect of her. I am not saying that every woman who gets married derserves half of everything, but you have to look at the length of the marriage, the number of kids and the fact that she gave up her career/life to take care of him and his kids. that is why so many women are disrespected now. some of these men do not value their worth until it is too late, and then they want to call her a golddigger because she is due financial compensation.
Some of you men on here act like this was a women he was married to for a year or two. They were together for 17 or something odd years ,So I highly doubt she stratagized a plan years ago to divorce him and take all of his money . She gave him numerous chances after he embarrased her in public with his mistress that was supposedly pregnant. She held down the household why he was away most of the time ,raised the children and still remained a good wife. You dont think she is owed for this?
