It’s confirmed Michael Jordan, 50 is marrying his longtime girlfriend Yvette Prieto, 33, and Prieto has agreed to signing a pre-nup at the request of Jordan. As you may recall, Michael Jordan’s last divorce to wife Juanita Vanoy Jordan surely placed a HUGE dent in his pockets. Juanita walked away with a whopping $168 million dollars of the money that was inherited during the marriage.
Well, this time around Michael is moving more “CAUTIOUS” as he gears up to wed a second time to a much younger woman. In the the new pre-nup, it is reported that upon divorce, Prieto will receive $1 million dollars for every year she is married to Michael along with monthly child support is she conceives a child. If Prieto stays married to Michael for 10 years; she’ll receive 5 million per year if the two decide the split. Michael is said to be in love with Yvette but he will not allow love to cloud his judgment nor his $650 million fortune – reports the National Enquirer.
[nggallery id=94]Sidebar: You know I was often DESPISED by the idea of a PRE-NUP in marriage only because [for me ] LOVE should always over-weigh MONEY and the two should never compromise the other. But let’s face it, we live in a world where MONEY is a necessity in every household and we all know that some people do change and TEND to act differently when introduce to “NEW MONEY ” [that they’ve never had before -including the “athlete” ] so its equally important that both persons are protected. In this case, the athlete gets to “protect” his money earnings and investments required before the marriage while agreeing to shell out a portion of his millions during the marriage and post marriage if the two split. Sounds fair to me.
In related news, Michael Jordan’s “alleged son case ” has been dismissed. As we reported a few weeks ago, Michael Jordan’s ex-girlfriend Pamela Smith [who dated the NBA star prior to his marriage to Juanita] requested a paternity test for her 16 year-old son Grant Taj Jordan. However the case was recently dismissed without prejudice [meaning that Smith could still pursue paternity testing legally if she decided to] From the reports, it is alleged that Michael had seek to quiet the public mayhem of the paternity in attempts to protect his public image but with the recent announcement of his new wedding news one cans only assume his reasons for doing so.
