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.

You can watch the footage in the video at the top of this story. Daisy-May ran the 5k race within the three-day event, and footage of her crossing the finish line, aided by her dad Alex Demetre, racked up more than 161,000 views on her Instagram page, which has 125,000 people following her journey. "I like to inspire people that they can be themselves, we are normal people and we are exactly like everyone else" Daisy-May told BirminghamLive after the race. Daisy-May was born with born with fibular hemimelia – a birth defect in which the calf bone is missing. She shot to fame in 2018 when she became the face of River Island, and has since walked the catwalk at London Fashion Week and is starring in Birmingham Fashion Week later this year. The determined youngster also won the Child of Courage award at Pride of Birmingham 2019 - touching hearts across the region. Daisy-May's dad Alex told BirminghamLive his daughter completed the Spetses race with "strength, pride, and determination" and described an "electric atmosphere" as people watched her fight to make the finish line. "It was a crazy reaction, my dad was carrying me, I am glad, it was really hard and my dad carried me for some of it" Daisy-May said. "The atmosphere was amazing everyone was cheering her" added Alex. "Team work makes the dream work." Recalling the battle to get to the finish line, Daisy-May told BirminghamLive: "It was hard. "I like doing these sorts of challenges like climbing mountains. "I do acting, some modelling, I like giving talks to people." Despite having both of her lower legs amputated at just 18 months old, an issue that was picked up on her 20-week scan, Daisy-May began modelling and training gymnastics at a young age. Dad Alex, told BirminghamLive: "When she was born I ended up turning to drinking, we found out when my partner was pregnant that she would have to have amputations. "It broke me." Now in year 10, Daisy-May said she only models and runs on her blades so she can raise awareness and encourage others that they face no barriers. She spends her time between her mum and dad's houses in Birmingham and in her spare time, travels around Europe to complete competitions or give talks to community groups.

Daisy-May has now signed up with an agent to pursue acting, which she hopes will take her into the film and television industry, and will be sitting her GCSEs next year. "I use my prosthetic legs for school, for modelling and racing I use the blades" she added. On her future, dad Alex added: "She was amazing, we have climbed Mount Snowdon together. "The Spetsathlon team are amazing, we will probably go out there next year. "Daisy-May has that drive and determination, you can't teach that, I am always in her ear telling her how great she is. "When she has her prosthetics on they look like normal legs, you would not know it does not affect her life."
