NBA legend Michael Jordan certainly knows how to travel in style.
The Chicago Bulls icon, 60, flew into Italy earlier this week on his lavish $61million private jet.

Jordan is a billionaire thanks to his global basketball fame and savvy business deals.
He is set to make a huge profit selling the Charlotte Hornets after buying a majority stake in the NBA franchise in 2010.
And MJ arrived in style for an exclusive Google Retreat for the ultra-rich this week in Sicily.
Jordan touched down on the runway in his custom-modified private Gulfstream G-IV.
The 88-foot-long aircraft has a capacity for 13 passengers, along with two crew.
Jordan customized the slick plane with its own paint job in homage to his iconic Air Jordan range of Nike shoes.
The jet originally boasted a powder blue and white wrap in honor of Jordan’s former college in North Carolina.
But in 2017, he splashed out on a gray, white, and black elephant print in homage to his iconic sneakers.
The exterior is completed by a print on the rear of the plane featuring Jordan’s iconic Jumpman logo.
Jordan has extensively modified the jet to improve its performance, with up to 12 hours of cruising available without refueling.
Inside the plane, the level of luxury is consistent with Jordan’s status as one of the world’s richest athletes.
Each member of MJ’s party will travel in the ultimate comfort with giant leather recliners at each window.
There is a separate dining area for meal times, as well as a fully-stocked bar that comes decked out with LEDs and folds out from the furniture.
And when Jordan wants to settle in for a lengthy journey, he can bed down for the night in a plush private bedroom.
The annex features a huge king-size bed and private bathroom for added privacy on long-haul flights.
Airplanes aren’t Jordan’s only vice, with the ex-Bulls superstar owning a fleet of stunning supercars.
Last month, Jordan and wife Yvette Prieto enjoyed a rare public appearance as they attended a Nascar launch party in Nashville, Tennessee.
The NBA GOAT rubbed shoulders with country music star Garth Brooks and Nascar drivers Bubba Wallace and Kurt Busch.
Jordan has reportedly changed his tune about his son’s choice of partner.
Jordan’s son Marcus, 32, has been in a relationship with 48-year-old Larsa Pippen – the ex-wife of Michael’s former Chicago Bulls teammate Scottie – since September.
