To participate in the auction, bidders had to put up a bond worth $250,000.
The 56,00o square-foot-compound went on the market in February 2012 for $29 million and failed to sell even after dropping the asking price to $21 million in January of 2013.
Michael Jordan's spokesperson told CNN:
"We are disappointed that the high bid in today's auction of Michael Jordan's residence in Highland Park did not meet the reserve price...we will be evaluating options for the property in the new year."
