The amount paid is precisely 10,000,091 dollars. A shocking price since experts had predicted that the jersey in question would sell for about… three million!

Of course, this price set many records, including the highest ever for an NBA jersey at auction. It is also the highest price for a Michael Jordan item.

Jordan wore this jersey against the Utah Jazz, in a game where he scored 33 points… and a few days later, won his 6th championship.

Anyway, for the moment, the identity of the buyer has not yet been revealed, which should be done within the next few hours.
