If you possessed a net worth of several billion dollars, how would you choose to spend it?
This is a question that NBA icon Michael Jordan continues to answer through his actions.
The retired basketball superstar’s latest acquisition is a unique hypercar.
The Pininfarina Battista Targamerica, in a striking silver and blue color, boasts a tan interior and includes exclusive features such as an aluminum cigar holder and humidor between the front seats.
According to Pininfarina, the car’s engine can produce approximately 1,900 horsepower, nearly twice the power of a contemporary Formula 1 car. It can reach speeds up to 217 mph and accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in just 1.86 seconds.
This vehicle is a one-of-a-kind creation, ensuring that no one else will own the same car.
Recently, luxury car manufacturer Automobili Pininfarina shared a picture of their esteemed client and his latest acquisition on social media.
They posted: “Today, we celebrate a truly special moment—the delivery of a bespoke, coach-built Battista, crafted in Italy with passion for a dear friend.”
“This one-off masterpiece embodies the pinnacle of design and engineering excellence, the result of a remarkable journey shared together. We are grateful to have brought this unique vision to life.”
With a substantial net worth, estimated by Forbes to be $3.5 billion, this impressive hypercar is a minor expenditure for Jordan.
Despite its hefty price, the Pininfarina Battista Targamerica is not the most expensive car in Michael’s collection.
That distinction belongs to his $3.5 million 30 Venom F5 Roadster His Airness, acquired last year.
The sports icon recently made yet another lavish purchase.
Michael invested $70,000,000 for his private jet, with an additional $500,000 spent on a custom paint job.
The Gulfstream 650ER private jet, which is 100 feet long, accommodates 19 passengers and four crew members.
The 650ER is renowned for its speed and has set a record for the farthest fastest flight in business aviation history, according to its website.
The jet features a luxurious interior, including leather seating, a fully-stocked bar, and a private bedroom.
Among the customizations, Michael has chosen a black and silver elephant theme for the jet’s exterior, paying tribute to his signature sneakers.
The iconic Jumpman logo, part of Michael Jordan’s collaboration with Nike, is prominently displayed on the tail of the plane in white.
Indeed, Michael Jordan knows how to travel in style!
