Was Michael Jordan’s divorce with Juanita Vanoy, that cost him $168 million because of Karla Knafel?

Michael Jordan may have lost a lot of money during his divorce from ex-wife Juanita Vanoy, but he wasn’t just an innocent victim.

Michael Jordan has been a man with a lot of money for quite some time.

The man already has an incredible net worth of $2.2 billion. And given his investments, he’s going to go much, much higher.

In other words, if you play your cards right, you could probably keep your family living a comfortable life for about 3-4 generations.

Now, of course, this level of wealth did not spring up in a day. She built it up over time, especially during the period when he had to go through a painful $168 million divorce settlement with Juanita Voy.

But apparently, it wasn’t just painful for Jordan. No no no, it seems the man caused quite a bit of pain too.

And Karla Knafel had a lot to do with that.

Michael Jordan’s affair with Karla Knafel may have been the main reason he and Juanita Vanoy divorced

Karla Knafel was a lounge singer during Michael Jordan’s playing days, who had relationships with the man for quite some time.

She then became pregnant with his baby, in response to which MJ paid 0,000 just to keep things quiet.

But, as we know today, that did not happen.

Eventually, Knafel began trying to extort $5 million from the man, which led to a fairly high-profile court case. And of course, at this point, Juanita Vanoy was aware of what had been happening.

Now, it is unclear if this was the main reason behind their divorce. But, most marriages don’t survive infidelity, and frankly, this was pretty disrespectful of Michael Jordan.

So was this the most important reason after all?
