Real Housewives of Miami's Larsa Pippen has been a hot topic recently for many reasons. For starters, she just became the ex-wife of basketball star Scottie Pippen. Secondly, she now has a sizzling romance with Michael Jordan's son Marcus Jordan.
Larsa Pippen has reportedly been dating Marcus Jordan since September 2022 after they were spotted having lunch in September 2022. Rumors spiked even more when the two were spotted kissing at Miami Beach in January 2023. Eventually, they finally confirmed their relationship on Instagram that same month. So far, the new couple are doing great and have created a podcast together called Separation Anxiety with Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan. The podcast explores everything under the sun regarding Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan's experience of being in a relationship with a significant age gap (16 years) as well as their thoughts and opinions on cultural topics.
In their episode titled "Larcus Tells All," Larsa Pippen reveals an interesting encounter she had with a guy in Dubai she was casually talking to, and if it wasn't for her relationship with Marcus Jordan, she could've easily fallen into a significant amount of money.
Even though being the ex-wife of Scottie Pippen afforded her a lot of money from spousal support, Larsa Pippen could have made bank if she wasn't romantically involved with Marcus Jordan, NBA legend Michael Jordan's son.
This claim is due to the fact that Larsa Pippen was offered money to not engage with other men by a guy in Dubai she was casually talking to, according to Essentially Sports. On Separation Anxiety with Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan, Larsa Pippen said that the Dubai man offered to send her a large sum of money monthly in exchange for her loyalty.
"I remember talking to a guy once. We were probably talking for two months... probably by [the] second or third conversation, he was like 'hey, I would send you money every month. If I send you two thousand fifty thousand dollars, you wouldn't talk to anyone anymore."
According to Larsa Pippen, she never once met up with this guy, making the offer questionable. However, the Miami Housewife chalked it up to him wanting to buy time as he figured out if he really liked her.
RelatedMarcus Jordan seemed unfazed by the story, saying, "There are guys that are a little aggressive... I don't know, I have never been that guy." The podcast episode is full of Larsa Pippen candidly recalling dating stories, so Jordan's calm response makes sense.
Despite Larsa Pippen not taking the offer from the mystery Dubai guy, her net worth is still pretty high; it currently sits at $10 million. When looking at Marcus Jordan's net worth, however, it seems like their ages aren't the only place where they have a gap.
Marcus Jordan's net worth is roughly $1.5 million, according to Marca. This is significantly lower than his current girlfriend's. Following in his father Michael Jordan's footsteps, Marcus Jordan decided to pursue basketball and played for the University of Central Florida. However, Marcus Jordan stopped short of college basketball, ultimately deciding against going pro.
RelatedSo, what does Marcus Jordan do for a living? He runs his own business. Marcus Jordan's first entrepreneurial venture was when he founded Trophy Room in 2016. Trophy Room is a boutique inspired by the trophy room in the Jordan household that sells and distributes exclusive shoes.

$750,000 | 2017 |
$1,000,000 | 2018 |

Aside from Trophy Room, Marcus Jordan also co-founded the entertainment and tech venture, Heir Jordan. (At the time, it is unclear how much Jordan made from Heir Jordan.)
Despite the financial differences, Larsa Pippen seems to be okay with earning more than her current boyfriend.
Scottie Pippen and Larsa Pippen finalized their divorce in December 2021. Larsa Pippen filed for divorce for the first time in 2018, according to People. However, the two decided to stay together for a while before their "irreconcilable differences" steered them to their separation once and for all.
After the divorce was finalized, Larsa Pippen expressed her excitement about the new chapter of life she was embarking on as the ex-wife of Scottie Pippen.
"Now that I'm single, I feel like I look better than ever. So my vibe is very Miami. It's sexy, it's fun, and I feel really independent."
Eventually, Larsa Pippen met and kindled a romance with Marcus Jordan. The two officially launched their relationship on January 23, 2023. Their relationship has also caught many people off guard, seeing that Larsa Pippen decided to date the son of her ex-husband's former teammate. However, this isn't the first time people have dragged Larsa Pippen for her dating choices.
