Michael Jordan and wife Yvette Prieto arrive in Mykonos on his $115m yacht as their romantic European trip continues

Daily Mail​16 hours ago
NBA icon Michael Jordan is continuing his whirlwind tour of Europe alongside his wife on board his $115million mega-yacht.
The latest stop for the six-time NBA champion and Hall-of-Famer was the Greek island of Mykonos.
Jordan stepped off his boat and onto the famous summer destination wearing a light blue t-shirt, white shorts, and an all-white pair of his iconic Jordan 1 Low sneakers.
He carried a bucket hat with him while accessorizing with sunglasses, a white watch and bracelets.
Coming up the gangplank right behind him was his wife, Cuban-American model Yvette Prieto.
The 47-year-old wore a vibrant Missoni crochet-knit halterneck top and a matching skirt as she stepped out into the Greek sunshine wearing a pair of strappy black sandals.
Like her husband, Prieto also wore sunglasses. She also wore a gorgeous pair of earrings and a gold bracelet while carrying a tan bag.
The couple were traveling with friends who also joined them on the shore for some much needed R&R after sailing on Jordan's floating home.
Jordan, who is worth an estimated $3.6billion, is believed to own an $80million yacht known as 'Joy', with the even-bigger one known as 'M'BRACE', valued at $115million, being what Prieto was seen sunbathing on.
The 244-foot long ship, purchased by Jordan in 2022, is said to accommodate 12 guests with 8 cabins and 24 crew, with an estimated annual running cost of $10m.
The ship has already sailed to the Italian island of Sardinia last month, with Jordan and Prieto, 47, heading to Skradin - a small town in Croatia's Sibenik-Knin County weeks later - as they continue to enjoy their summer vacation.
Jordan living a glitzy lifestyle has been typical of his time away from the NBA since his retirement for good as an active player in 2003.
This summer, it comes with a caveat as he prepares to return to being in front of the league's audience on a consistent basis as part of The Association's return to NBC.
Earlier on the family's European tour, Jordan's father-in-law, Carlos Prieto Sr, and brother-in-law Carlos Jr, and his wife, had also joined the party aboard the striking vessel.
This summer's quality downtime will prove to be even more precious for the NBA icon as he gears up for his new job in the Fall.
It was revealed in May that Jordan will be on the NBC airwaves when the network returns to airing the NBA next season.
The addition of Jordan is a coup, with the network bringing on one of the all-time greatest players in the sport to boost their coverage.
Rather than be a constant presence on-air - much like Wayne Gretzky does with hockey coverage on Turner or Tom Brady does on Fox - Jordan's appearances will be rarer and more specialized, Daily Mail exclusively revealed last month.
'Michael is going to be doing a handful things for NBC when the NBA returns, and instead of commentating, it is going to be more special segments, 60 Minutes style, and occasionally doing halftime analysis,' sources exclusively told DailyMail.com
The source added, 'They are going to make his moments special, and with players in a hands on segment before the game and occasionally stuff after the game, but it isn't going to be full commentary or what Shaq and Charles Barkley do.
Sources said that Jordan's role will make him 'NBC's Oprah for the NBA.''
It had been rumored that Jordan would pocket a staggering $40 million annually from NBC - the twice the figure Charles Barkley earns with TNT - but a report from Fox Office Sports claimed that sum was inaccurate.
'His Airness' is set to go back on the airwaves as NBC returns to covering the league in 2025
A new media rights deal is set to kick in for the league next season - putting NBA games back on NBC for the first time since 2002.
In addition to Jordan, Hall of Famer Reggie Miller will be appearing on the network alongside Carmelo Anthony and Jamal Crawford.
Sources also told Daily Mail last month that Jordan is taking his role at NBC incredibly seriously.
Jordan has had no active ties to the NBA since August 2023, when he sold his stake in the Charlotte Hornets for $3billion.
'There is just enough time in life that you can be on a yacht, spend all your money on having fun and good times and living life to the fullest. Michael does that and will continue to do that, as he has over the years,' the source said.
'But this summer will be different because he is looking forward to resetting his career and have people remember that he is the best.'
Jordan's NBC appearances are sure to kick off a new round of debates as to who the greatest basketball player of all-time is, with LeBron James being the Chicago Bulls legend's most prominent contemporary.
The six-time NBA champion's return to airwaves comes as James has opted into a $52.6million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, putting many of the finishing touches on an unbelievable career, in part, in direct comparison with Jordan's legacy.
Jordan will not have to report for NBA duty until the beginning of the league season in October, giving him three months with Prieto and his family to freely live life in their first-class fashion.

EXCLUSIVE Tourists issued warning over hidden £300 charge in popular European holiday destination as people call it 'disgusting'

Holidaymakers heading to Corfu this summer have been warned of a hidden network charge that could cost them hundreds before they've even stepped out of the airport. Tourists have been left baffled by a 'Welcome to Albania' text message they'd received shortly after touching down at Corfu Airport - despite being on a Greek island. An employee from MailOnline, who recently holidayed at the popular European hotspot, shared a text he'd received upon landing from a service named 'Rate Advice.' It reads: 'Welcome to Albania! Calls, texts and data in Albania are chargeable and do not come out of your standard allowances or UK data add-ons. Roam Beyond data add-ons for this destination are available in the iD Mobile app for as little as GBP5.00. 'If you haven't already purchased a Roam Beyond data add-on, it will cost GBP1.50 per MB. Minutes and texts are not included , and will cost GBP0.60 per text to roam. To protect you from excessive charges, a GBP45.00 roaming data cap is in place.' Though Corfu in the northwestern corner of Greece, it is situated only a short stretch (48.2 km) from Ksamil, a small coastal village in the riviera of Southern Albania. Because of the island's location, the strength of the Albanian mobile phone signals near the coast can cause phones to connect to them automatically, even when the user is in Greece. Some holidaymakers have taken to social media over the summer to warn others of unexpected charges and sky-high phone bills. An employee from MailOnline, who recently holidayed at the popular European hotspot, shared a text he'd received upon landing from a service named 'Rate Advice' Steve Moore, from Chesterfield, shared his experience in the popular Facebook group, We Love Sidari, writing: 'I arrived Sunday, usual welcome text to corfu charges just the same as UK - 2 days later message welcome to Albania this is your charges. 'Wow what a rip off, phoned company and after 45 mins of conversation was told the network must of changed to a different mast. You need to keep an eye on it otherwise it will cost you a lot.' Another Facebook user chimed, 'Only if you go to the east of the island. I did that mistake while on a quad. Using google maps. £128 to drive up road lol,' while a third added, 'We got caught out £298 bill when we got home.' To avoid these charges, travellers are urged to either inform their provider of the situation, turn off 'roaming,' or manually select a Greek network in their phone's settings instead of relying on automatic network selection. One Facebook user suggested: 'All you do is let your phone set it's paired Greek network automatically when you arrive on the island at the airport. 'Once it's selected the correct Greek network, go into your settings and turn OFF "automatically select network". This means your phone will not hunt for or connect to anything else other than your correct Greek network.' They also warned users to 'remember to turn it back on when you get back to UK'. Another urged: 'Just carry on then when you get back tell your provider to do one. You're not gonna pay for a different provider. I did and got all charges stopped,' while a third shared, 'We keep our roaming off at all times and just log into WiFi in bars, hotels, etc.' Some holidaymakers have taken to social media over the summer to warn others of unexpected charges and sky-high phone bills It comes after a travel expert revealed an overlooked phone setting that could end up costing holidaymakers hundreds in unexpected roaming charges. Georgia Brivida, of international SIM provider Sim Local, is urging Brits to switch off the 'autoplay' feature on their phones before boarding their next flight. The setting, she says, could quietly drain data and rack up a significant phone bill - often without users even realising it. She explained: 'Autoplay is a feature that automatically plays videos as you scroll through apps like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube, often without you even tapping play.

Pregnant Vick Hope displays her baby bump in a colourful bikini while holidaying with husband Calvin Harris at their sprawling 138-acre Ibiza farm

Vick Hope showed off her blossoming baby bump while holidaying with her husband Calvin Harris in Ibiza on Wednesday. After leaving her BBC Radio 1 show on maternity leave a couple of months ago, the radio presenter, 35, and her DJ spouse, 41, are preparing to welcome their first child. In the meantime they're spending some time away at their 138-acre farm called Terra Masia, with Vick sharing snaps from the sun-soaked getaway to her Instagram. Captioning the slew 'june bloom', the TV personality looked every inch the glowing mother-to-be as she gazed down at her bump while sporting a bikini top. She also posed for a photo on the beach, cracking a smile for the camera after slipping into a white summer dress. The compilation also revealed that the couple were joined by pals on the Spanish island, with Vick cradling her bump in one photo while stood arm-in-arm with some friends. The radio presenter, 35, announced she was pregnant with her DJ husband's child during an appearance on her BBC Breakfast show in May (pictured March 2025) Vick confirmed rumours that she was pregnant live on her BBC radio show in May, letting her listeners know that she would soon be leaving on maternity leave. During a conversation with co-host Jamie Laing, she revealed: 'I should probably also say this is my final week before I go on maternity leave.' Jamie told her: 'You're an amazing friend, an amazing person, and you're just going to be an amazing mum.' She replied: 'Oh, thank you.' A few weeks later while on stage at Radio 1's Big Weekend, Vick and Jamie curiously asked the thousands of supporters in the crowd for baby name suggestions. Addressing the audience, Jamie said: 'Vick is about to go on maternity leave, and she wants some help with some baby names, so if you can shout some names to me.' As the huge crowd began screaming out suggestions a giggling Vick replied: 'Ok, I got it.' Whenever Calvin and Vick's baby is born, they will likely be raised at the couple's sprawling Gloucestershire mansion. The Scottish-born DJ has reportedly transformed a sleepy village in the county into his own multi-million-pound countryside empire snapping up homes left, right and centre. The One Kiss hitmaker, worth an eye-watering £250million, is set to move into a stunning new five-bed mansion with his pregnant wife later this summer. Calvin is thought to have already bought two neighbouring homes and is eyeing up a third, bringing his total spend in the area to an estimated £15million. One local told The Sun: 'Building work there finally finished, for now, last week and we're expecting Calvin and Vick to move in at the end of the summer after his season playing at clubs in Ibiza has finished. From the road, the house looks amazing. 'No expense seems to have been spared. I am sure they will love living here as a family.' The move mirrors Ed Sheeran's infamous creation of 'Sheeranville' in Suffolk, with Calvin now following suit by transforming the sleepy village of just 700 people. Another resident said: 'Just like Ed Sheeran, he seems to want to buy up the properties that surround his incredible new house. 'We have had to put up with lots of building work going on, for what seems like years but what has annoyed locals most is that a lovely vineyard has gone.' Alongside the main mansion, originally bought in 2019 for £3.6million, which was flattened and rebuilt from scratch, it is thought Calvin also snapped up a six-bedroom property with a three-acre vineyard for £3.6 million, although he insisted the vines be ripped out. The plush pad, made from classic honey-coloured Cotswold stone, features five bedrooms, a swimming pool and tennis court. Other locals joked that the local pub could be next on his list - and suggested the chart-topper might even treat residents to a DJ set. Calvin, who once worked in a fish factory and stacked shelves at Safeway to buy his first decks, has since topped charts with 11 UK No1s and raked in millions from a Las Vegas residency. Ever since he sold his song catalogue in 2020 for a reported £76million and has invested heavily in property ever since. The new mansion features a series of large ground floor rooms including kitchen, dining room and TV snug. Already the owner of a £12million mansion in LA, a £7.5million London townhouse, and a 138-acre farm in Ibiza, Calvin appears to have found his UK base in the Cotswolds, alongside celebrity neighbours like the Beckhams, Kate Moss, and Jeremy Clarkson.
