Michael Jordan and records still go together, even after more than 23 years since he finally retired from active play.
The basketball player who is defined as the best of all time, who will celebrate his 61st birthday in exactly two weeks (February 17), did it again, this time on the auction court, where he put up for sale the shoes he wore in each of the finals in which he won the NBA championship.

And if you have to be precise then the final amount is $8,032,800.
