Michael Jordan, the iconic NBA star, has returned to Costa Rica for the third time this year to participate in a sportfishing tournament set to take place at Herradura Bay in Puntarenas Province.



The retired basketball legend arrived on Tuesday aboard his black-and-white Gulfstream private jet at Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) in Alajuela Province, according to records from the General Directorate of Migration.



This marks Jordan’s third visit to the "Pura Vida" country this year. In January the 61-year-old celebrity traveled two times in the country (from January 4 to 12 and from 22 to 25) to participate in two fishing tournaments held at Quepos Beach, Puntarenas.



Jordan’s luxury yacht has been docked in Puntarenas since the beginning of the year.



The six-time NBA champion with the Chicago Bulls played 15 seasons in the league from 1984 to 2003. Widely regarded as the greatest basketball player of all time, he helped popularize the NBA globally in the 1980s and 1990s.

He remains one of the most marketable athletes in history, endorsing brands such as Nike, Coca-Cola, Chevrolet, Gatorade, McDonald's, Wheaties, and Hanes. Forbes estimates his net worth at $3.5 billion as of 2024, making him the fourth-richest African American.



Jordan is one of many celebrities spotted vacationing in Costa Rica. Last week, Morgan Freeman, the iconic American actor and producer, visited Costa Rica for the second time in less than three months.



In December 2024, Israeli actress Gal Gadot and Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen also visited the country.



Also, Canadian singer Justin Bieber, his wife and model Hailey Bieber, and influencer Kendall Jenner visited the country in December 2024.



Tourism is a key sector of Costa Rica's economy. The country welcomed over 2.6 million tourists by air in 2024, a 7% increase compared to 2023.
