Eddie Jordan - Personal Life

Personal Life

Jordan suffers from alopecia as a result of a racing accident sustained during his youth. As such, he is a noted wig wearer; carrying three to simulate hair growth.

He is married to Marie, a former Ireland Under-18 basketball player. The couple have been married for 35 years and have four children: Zoe, Miki, Zak & Kyle. Their main base is in Ireland where Jordan keeps his personal helicopter, and he has homes in Wentworth, South Kensington, London and Monaco, where he keeps his yacht. In March 2012, it was announced that Jordan had received an honorary OBE for services to charity and motor racing.

Jordan is still a patron of the child cancer charity CLIC Sargent.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    A man’s personal defects will commonly have with the rest of the world precisely that importance which they have to himself. If he makes light of them, so will other men.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I don’t like people who have never fallen or stumbled. Their virtue is lifeless and it isn’t of much value. Life hasn’t revealed its beauty to them.
    Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
