Concierge Auctions says the sale will take place Monday. The company runs the sales of high-end real estate and features Jordan’s Highland Park home north of Chicago on its website.

The former Chicago Bulls star’s home has nine bedrooms, 15 full bathrooms, a pool pavilion and a regulation-size indoor basketball court. It also features what’s been described as a “gentleman’s retreat” complete with a library, full wet bar and the original doors from the Playboy Mansion in Chicago. It all sits on more than seven acres of land.

Jordan’s home was originally listed at $29 million in early 2012.

Jordan now owns the Charlotte Bobcats.
