Michael Jordan's 'Last Dance' jersey sells for record $14 million

A jersey worn by Michael Jordan during the iconic "Last Dance" 1998 NBA Finals has been sold for a record $14 million in a private transaction. Hunt Auctions announced the sale on Monday, October 12, 2026, identifying Miami real estate investor Ron Firman as the buyer. This monumental sale establishes a new benchmark for basketball memorabilia, marking the highest price ever paid for such an item.

The specific Chicago Bulls road jersey was from Game 2 of the 1998 Finals, a pivotal game where Jordan scored 37 points, leading his team to even the series against the Utah Jazz. While setting a new record for basketball, the $14 million price is also noted as the second-highest for any game-worn sports jersey across all sports. The only higher sale remains Babe Ruth's 1932 World Series jersey, which fetched $24.12 million in 2024.

This latest transaction underscores the immense value and enduring appeal of Michael Jordan and the 1997-98 Bulls season, which was famously chronicled in "The Last Dance" documentary. It also continues a trend of high-value sales for memorabilia from that particular season, as two other jerseys from the 1998 Finals previously sold for over $10 million each.
