EXCLUSIVE Michael Jordan's daring wife sets pulses racing with risque sunbathing on NBA legend's $115m superyacht
Michael Jordan was not the center of attention aboard his $115million superyacht on Wednesday, as his daring wife, Yvette Prieto, stepped outside for a risque sunbathing session. Prieto, a Cuban-American model, walked onto the deck of the lavish ship in a stunning black bikini for prime time in the sun off the coast of the island of Spetses in Greece. Jordan's wife can seen seen laying on a lounge chair on her back to catch some rays before flipping onto her stomach and removing her top so her bare back could get tan. Jordan, 62, and Prieto have spent plenty of the summer on the NBA legend's superyacht, with several members from both of their families staying onboard as well. 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. Jordan was also pictured in the Greek Isles with the happily-married couple sharing two twin daughters, Victoria and Ysabel, who also joined their parents on the superyacht. The 11-year-old twins were seen in matching blue floral dresses with white shoes standing on a dock with family before getting into a smaller boat on the water. Jordan wore sunglasses, a white fedora, dark green shirt, checkered cargo shorts, white shoes, and completed the look with a cigar in his left hand. When her eye-opening sunbathing session was complete, Prieto reemerged in a romper with her own choices for sunhats. The family was later seen eating at the luxurious Posidonio Hotel, where the cheapest rooms cost $400 per night. In addition to Victoria and Ysabel, 'His Airness' also shares three adult children - Jeffrey, 36, Marcus, 34, and Jasmine, 32 - from his first marriage to ex-wife Juanita Vanoy. 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. Prieto eventually flipped onto her stomach and removed her top to tan her bare back Jordan, 62, and Prieto have spent plenty of time this summer on the NBA legend's superyacht 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 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. 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. The ship has already sailed to the Italian island of Sardinia last month, then to Croatia after Jordan will be away from Prieto after taking a role with NBC as part of its NBA coverage The addition of Jordan is a coup, with NBC bringing on one of the NBA's greatest players ever The family was later seen eating at the luxurious Posidonio Hotel, a glitzy waterfront hotel 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.

Heathrow to pipe 'sounds of an airport' around airport
The hum of an escalator, the rumble of a baggage belt and hurried footsteps are all interspersed with snippets of the lady on the tannoy: "Boarding at Gate 18".The UK's biggest flight hub plans to make your experience at the airport sound, well, even more like an what may be a bid to overhaul its image after a disastrous offsite fire in March, or just a marketing spin for summer holiday flying, Heathrow says it has commissioned a new "mood-matching" sound mix, which will be looped seamlessly and played throughout the airport's terminals this airport says "Music for Heathrow" is designed to help kickstart passenger holidays by reflecting "excitement and anticipation". "Nothing compares to the excitement of stepping foot in the airport for the start of a summer holiday, and this new soundtrack perfectly captures those feelings," claims Lee Boyle, who heads up the airport's the aim, it will raise questions over what additional background noises passengers require, when they already have the sounds of an airport - fussing children, people doing their last farewells into their mobile phone, last calls for late-comers - all around airport invited Grammy nominee "musician, multi-instrumentalist and producer" Jordan Rakei to create the soundtrack, which it says is the first ever created entirely with the sounds of an airport. However, Heathrow said the track also featured sounds from famous movie scenes, including passengers tapping their feet in Bend It Like Beckham and the beeps of a security scanner from Love is conceived as a tribute to Brian Eno's album Music for Airports, released in 1979, which is seen as a defining moment in the growth of ambient music, a genre which is supposed to provide a calming influence on listeners, while also being easy to ignore."I spent time in every part of the airport, recording so many sounds from baggage belts to boarding calls, and used them to create something that reflects that whole pre-flight vibe," said recording also features passports being stamped, planes taking off and landing, chatter, the ding of a lift and the sound of a water fountain, which some people may appreciate as a source of ASMR or autonomous sensory meridian response. Fans of ASMR say certain sounds give them a pleasant tingling sensation.

‘Ridiculous prices' blamed for slump in Las Vegas visitor numbers
Las Vegas visitor numbers have dropped by almost 8 percent and it's the "ridiculous prices" that are keeping people away, according to one Sin City expert. The Nevada gambling mecca welcomed 3.39 million visitors in March, compared with 3.68 million in February, a fall of 7.8 per cent, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA). International arrivals at the Harry Reid International Airport were down 8.7 percent in May compared with the same month in 2024. The drop appears to be part of the " Trump slump", which has seen many international travellers eschewing the U.S. There have been several high profile deportation cases including German backpackers Charlotte Pohl and Maria Lepère, Rebecca Burke from Wales and Lucas Sielaff from Germany. However Anthony Curtis, publisher of the Las Vegas Advisor website and newsletter, told The Times that costs are also a big factor. He told the newspaper: "On the Strip, people get taken for a ride. Once they get here they're like, 'I'm tired of being treated like this. I'm tired of having to pay these ridiculous prices.' "There are fees all over the place — fees to park, resort fees on top of room rates. And people are getting fed up with it. We hear that a lot from our customers." The paper cited the example of one visitor who paid $40 for two coffees and two croissants. Las Vegas expert Michael Trager, who runs travel tips site TravelZork, told The Independent that one way to keep costs down is to "dine off-strip or 'strip adjacent'". He revealed: "You can get huge value by leaving your hotel property to dine at some of the more local places. "A quick Uber can yield incredible value." He also recommends purchasing Las Vegas Advisor Membership, which offers a $50 yearly membership deal that includes a "coupon book on steroids" that will "pay for itself 10 times over".
