Michael Jordan's legendary Chicago estate has taken on a new life under its latest owner. After <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/12/42638801/before-his-180-on-climate-change-elon-musk-advocated-for-action-cautioning-that-oceanfront-real-estate-values-would-plummet-2">sitting on the market</a> for over a decade, the sprawling Highland Park mansion finally sold for $9.5 million in December. But instead of keeping it as a private home, the new buyer, John Cooper, is already shaking things up—turning it into a luxury rental at a jaw-dropping $230,000 per month and selling off shares of the property in a unique timeshare model.

</ul>
Jordan originally listed the 56,000-square-foot estate in 2012 for $29 million, but it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42678673/michael-jordan-sells-his-massive-luxury-mansion-for-9-5-million-but-it-took-12-years-to-find-a-buyer-and-he-spent-50-million-building-it">struggled to attract buyers</a>, despite multiple price cuts and the home's deep ties to the basketball legend. The mansion, known as Legend Point, boasts nine bedrooms, 19 bathrooms, a full-size basketball court, a cigar lounge, and even doors from the original Playboy Mansion. After years of markdowns, Cooper, a real estate investor from Nebraska, purchased the property for $9.5 million—a significant drop from its original asking price.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Turning Legend Point Into A Business</h2>
Rather than using the mansion as his primary residence, Cooper quickly set plans in motion to monetize the iconic home. Per Realtor.com, just weeks after closing the deal, he announced that portions of the property would be sold as luxury timeshares under the name &#8220;Champions Point.&#8221; Co-owners can buy a share for at least $1 million, granting them access to the estate for a designated week each year. Owners can invite up to 24 guests and even host high-end events for an extra fee.

Now, in addition to selling shares, Cooper has listed the entire estate for rent, offering anyone with deep enough pockets the chance to live in Jordan's former home for $230,000 a month. The listing describes it as a &#8220;once-in-a-lifetime opportunity&#8221; for those who &#8220;live and breathe sports.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Renters and Co-Owners Get</h2>
The mansion's amenities are as grand as its history. Renters and co-owners gain access to a regulation-size basketball court, an infinity pool with an island, a tennis court, a putting green, a state-of-the-art home theater, a wine cellar, a commercial-grade fitness center, and a cigar room with a custom humidor. High-end add-ons, including private chefs, on-site entertainment, and luxury transportation, are also available for an extra cost.
Cooper, a longtime Bulls fan who has lived in Chicago for the past decade, says he wants to preserve the property's legacy while also making it more accessible to sports enthusiasts, celebrities, and businesses looking for a one-of-a-kind luxury experience.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) CEO Tim Cook has reportedly pledged a significant investment in the United States and a shift in manufacturing from Mexico to the U.S. President Donald Trump made this announcement during a meeting with governors.
What Happened: After <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43876173/apple-ceo-tim-cook-reportedly-meets-trump-as-tariff-impact-looms-on-iphone-sales-and-companys-china-strategy">meeting Cook at the White House </a>this week, Trump revealed that the Apple CEO had assured him of moving iPhone maker&#8217;s manufacturing from Mexico to the U.S.
 &#8220;He&#8217;s&nbsp;investing hundreds of billions of&nbsp;dollars&#8230; That&#8217;s&nbsp;what he told me. Now&nbsp;he has to do it,&#8221; Trump said.
Trump also mentioned that Cook had halted two plants in Mexico and would now be producing Apple products in the U.S. However, Cook has not yet publicly announced any such investment.
"They don't want to be in the tariffs," Trump said.

It's unclear which manufacturing facilities Trump was referring to. Foxconn Technology Group, the maker of Apple's iPhones, already has a strong presence in Mexico and plans to expand further.
Apple did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment. 
Why It Matters: The news of Apple&#8217;s potential shift in manufacturing and significant U.S. investment comes at a crucial time for the tech giant. Like other tech giants, Apple is grappling with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/02/43827658/exclusive-apple-nvidia-tesla-or-boeing-which-company-faces-the-biggest-risk-from-trumps-china-tariffs-35-say-this-stock">rising U.S.-China trade tensions.</a> Trump&#8217;s 10% tariff on Chinese-made goods poses a significant challenge, as China remains Apple's primary manufacturing hub, and the U.S., is its largest market.
According to an analyst at Bank of America, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43839627/apple-may-hike-iphone-prices-by-9-due-to-trumps-tariffs-says-bank-of-america">iPhone maker will need to hike prices</a> on iPhones, iPads, and other products by approximately 9% to counter the effect of tariffs. assuming a minimum 10% tariff applies to all of them. The analyst also expects a potential hit on the sales volume.
On Wednesday, Apple unveiled the iPhone 16e, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43820197/apple-unveils-iphone-16e-with-a18-chip-ai-features-599-price-tag">a budget-friendly successor</a> to the third-generation iPhone SE. Priced at $599, the device is designed to run artificial intelligence efficiently.

Tim Cook Reportedly Tells Trump Apple Will Invest 'Hundreds Of Billions' In US: 'They Don't Want To Be In The Tariffs'

Elon Musk&#8217;s unsolicited $97 billion bid for OpenAI&#8216;s assets has created a valuation challenge for the artificial intelligence leader, potentially complicating its planned transition to a for-profit structure.
Legal experts suggest the offer, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43755069/openai-board-rejects-elon-musks-97-billion-acquisition-proposal-days-after-sam-altman-calls-it-a-move-to-slow-down-a-competitor#:~:text=OpenAI%20Board%20Rejects%20Elon%20Musk's,Slow%20Down'%20A%20Competitor%20%2D%20Benzinga">though swiftly rejected</a>, could force regulators to scrutinize OpenAI&#8217;s corporate restructuring more closely. The bid &#8220;will be more difficult to justify valuing the nonprofit&#8217;s assets at less than $97 billion if there is a concrete offer for that sum,&#8221; <a href="https://www.economist.com/business/2025/02/11/elon-musks-97bn-offer-is-a-headache-for-sam-altmans-openai">according to a report by The Economist</a>.

</ul>
Musk, OpenAI&#8217;s co-founder and now rival, submitted the bid through a consortium on Feb. 11, targeting the non-profit entity that controls the company. The move escalates his feud with CEO Sam Altman over the company&#8217;s shift toward a more traditional corporate structure.
&#8220;OpenAI is not for sale,&#8221; company spokesman Chris Lehane told The Economist.
The timing appears strategic, as OpenAI reportedly seeks to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/43374528/softbank-may-lead-openais-40-billion-funding-round-at-a-300-billion-valuation-despite-deepseek-disruption-report">raise approximately $40 billion from investors, including SoftBank</a>. Musk&#8217;s bid could potentially disrupt the fundraising efforts by raising questions about proper valuation during the company&#8217;s restructuring.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
Jill Horwitz, law professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, said that the nonprofit board&#8217;s fiduciary duty is to act according to OpenAI&#8217;s legal purpose—building safe artificial intelligence that &#8220;benefits all of humanity.&#8221; The mission-focused obligation may provide flexibility in responding to acquisition offers.
Musk&#8217;s legal team has urged attorneys general in California and Delaware, where OpenAI operates, to ensure the nonprofit surrenders control at fair market value during any restructuring.&nbsp;
While company insiders doubt state officials will acquiesce to Musk, Horwitz noted they have &#8220;clear law to apply&#8221; regarding proper valuation.

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
The bid follows recent tensions over the &#8220;Stargate Project,&#8221; a $100 billion data center investment fund announced by Altman and President Donald Trump on Jan. 21. Musk publicly questioned whether the project&#8217;s backers had sufficient funding, allegations they denied.
Altman responded to Musk&#8217;s bid with a facetious counteroffer on X—$9.7 billion to &#8220;buy Twitter,&#8221; as Musk&#8217;s social network was previously known. &#8220;I think he&#8217;s just trying to slow us down,&#8221; <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2025-02-11/altman-says-musk-probably-just-trying-to-slow-us-down-video">Altman told Bloomberg</a>. &#8220;I feel for the guy. I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s a happy person.&#8221;
The offer represents another front in Musk&#8217;s competitive strategy against his largest AI rival. He launched xAI in 2023, positioning it as a direct competitor to OpenAI.

Gavin Kliger, a member of the Department of Government Efficiency that is being led by Elon Musk, visited IRS headquarters in Washington on Feb. 13, requesting detailed information about agency operations and staffing, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/13/politics/doge-visits-the-irs-putting-staffers-on-edge/index.html">according to CNN</a>.
&#8220;My office is hearing that DOGE is now at the IRS. That means Musk&#8217;s henchmen are in a position to dig through a trove of data about every taxpayer in America. And if your refund is delayed, they could very well be the reason,&#8221; Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) <a href="https://x.com/RonWyden/status/1890114168583565673">wrote on X</a>.

</ul>
The visit marks the efficiency department&#8217;s first direct engagement with the tax agency, which employs approximately 100,000 workers. According to CNN, Kliger requested information about each business unit&#8217;s responsibilities and risk factors.
An email shared with CNN that was sent to IRS employees during the visit instructed staff to route queries about &#8220;high-profile visitors&#8221; through proper channels, noting the matter had been &#8220;elevated to Treasury&#8221; for further instruction.
President Donald Trump authorized the IRS review earlier in the day on Feb. 13, telling reporters, &#8220;the Internal Revenue Service will be looked at like everybody else.&#8221; When asked if he expected the agency to be closed, Trump responded: &#8220;No, I don&#8217;t expect it.

Trending: Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.
The audit follows an <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1886847092888310231?lang=en">informal poll on X</a> where Musk asked followers if they favored reviewing the IRS. The poll showed 91.2% support among respondents. The billionaire issued a poll earlier in December <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42380263/elon-musk-asks-if-irs-funding-should-be-deleted-more-than-60-of-respondents-said-yes#:~:text=Billionaire%20entrepreneur%20Elon%20Musk%20sparked,delete%22%20the%20agency's%20funding%20entirely.">calling for the IRS to be "deleted,"</a> which saw 60.4% of respondents agree with the proposition.
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) embraced the scrutiny <a href="https://waysandmeans.house.gov/2025/02/13/chairman-smith-business-as-usual-at-the-irs-is-unacceptable/">in a letter</a> to Acting IRS Commissioner Douglas O&#8217;Donnell. &#8220;Business as usual at the IRS is unacceptable,&#8221; Smith wrote. &#8220;Our government has not been working effectively for the American people, and it needs to change.&#8221;

The price failed to sustain above the Feb. 14 high. For a bullish continuation, it should hold above $94,645 in this potential wave 2. The key invalidation level is $93,450.
Crypto trader CJ explained Bitcoin has tagged last week&#8217;s high and low. It provided clean trades on both sides of the range. The trader awaits to see if mid-range demand holds. Ideally, BTC ranges through the weekend.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin See Friday Blues After Massive $1.4 Billion Bybit Hack

Hooters of America is huddling up with its creditors to cook up a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/bankruptcy">bankruptcy restructuring plan</a>. 
The famous BBQ wing chain has enlisted legal heavyweights at Ropes &amp; Gray to prep the filing, according to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-21/hooters-in-talks-to-prepare-a-bankruptcy-filing-in-coming-months?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">Bloomberg</a>. The court showdown could kick off within the next two months.
Known for its crop-top uniforms and winking owl mascot, Hooters is trying to get its financial house in order with help from turnaround pros at boutique firm Accordion Partners. 
Meanwhile, some of its lenders have brought in Houlihan Lokey to also advise the process.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Else Is On The Bankruptcy Block?</h2>
Hooters isn&#8217;t the only sit-down dining spot feeling the heat of Chapter 11. 
Mediterranean fast-casual chain Rōti, for example, recently sold out of bankruptcy. According to <a href="https://www.chicagobusiness.com/restaurants/roti-sold-out-bankruptcy-edible-arrangements-founder">Crain&#8217;s Chicago</a>, a private-equity firm led by the founder of Edible Arrangements agreed to take it over. 
Rōti will retain 17 of its 19 locations once the deal is complete.
The culprit behind these filings? Fewer customers waltzing through doors thanks to <a href="https://www.emarketer.com/content/dining-inflation-remains-higher-than-food-home--forcing-restaurants-compete-on-value">inflation</a>. Plus, supply chain headaches, and soaring interest rates are pushing menu prices skyward. As a result, more folks are opting to cook at home. 
More than a dozen major restaurant groups or franchisees waved the white flag and filed for bankruptcy last year, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38992673/the-craziest-parts-of-the-red-lobster-bankruptcy-story-revealed">Red Lobster</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/11/41700829/deal-dispatch-tgi-fridays-goes-bankrupt-bhp-backtracks-comments-and-more-m-a-news">TGI Fridays</a>.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Chart Industries Stock In The Last 5 Years

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) more than doubled its bonus plan for company executives after announcing layoffs for about 3,600 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43874069/meta-slashes-employee-stock-awards-by-10-as-zuckerberg-pours-up-to-65-billion-into-ai-race-against-openai-alphabet-and-amazon-report">employees just last month.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: According to an SEC <a href="https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1326801/000132680125000021/meta-20250213.htm">filing</a>, on Feb. 13, Meta approved a new bonus structure that raises the annual target bonus amount from 75% of each named executive officer's base salary to 200% of the base salary. 
The bonus structure excludes CEO Mark Zuckerberg, according to the filing.

The move to increase bonuses for Meta's executives comes after the company announced in January that it would be cutting 5% of its workforce. That&#8217;s about 3,600 employees. 
Meta described the cuts as "performance terminations" aimed at improving efficiency.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve decided to raise the bar on performance management and move out low-performers faster,&#8221; Zuckerberg wrote in an internal memo published by Bloomberg.&nbsp;
Former Meta employees<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43723246/meta-faces-backlash-as-laid-off-workers-say-they-were-unfairly-targeted-despite-strong-performance-records"> spoke out</a> on social media. They claim that some high performers, including those on parental and medical leave, were unfairly targeted in the layoffs.  
&#8220;Meta is now the cruelest tech company out there,&#8221; a former employee posted on Blind, an anonymous forum for tech industry insiders.&nbsp;
The backlash does seem to have affected Meta's stock, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43806703/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-platforms-dips-below-short-term-average-as-it-snaps-20-day-winning-run">which ran</a> on a 20-day winning streak just after the layoffs were announced. 
In the 20 trading sessions between Jan. 16 to Feb. 14, Meta's stock rose 20.22%, and the company added over $350 billion in market capitalization during this period.
Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Meta shares ended Friday's session down 1.62% at $683.55 amid a broad market selloff.
