MFM #158: How We're Going to Buy Michael Jordan's House (and Make a Profit)

About this video

Sam and Shaan explore several business ideas including buying Michael Jordan’s house and turning it into a museum or Airbnb experience (inspired by how Graceland generates $21M annually), discuss Big League Advance’s model of offering income-share agreements to minor league baseball players, and examine the startup studio model used by founders like Jack Abraham and Josh Kushner, concluding that focused, single-company ventures typically outperform portfolios of projects.

Key takeaways

• Michael Jordan’s $12-15M house could generate significant recurring revenue as a museum or experiential attraction similar to Graceland ($21M/year), Mount Vernon ($51M/year), or Monticello ($7-8M/year in ticket sales alone), potentially funded through platforms like Rally Road for fractional ownership
• Big League Advance monetizes minor league players’ future earnings through income-share agreements, using data analytics to identify talent; the model works because minor leagues are undervalued, creating arbitrage opportunities similar to how Pipe financializes SaaS contracts
• Startup studios (one founder running multiple projects simultaneously) offer learning retention and multiple shots on goal but suffer from lack of focus and shiny-object syndrome; successful studios like Atomic changed the model by running only one project at a time with do-or-die nine-month deadlines, which Shaan believes outperforms diversified portfolios
