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:

    Glamour cannot exist without personal social envy being a common and widespread emotion.
    John Berger (b. 1926)

    There are two births: the one when light
    First strikes the new awakened sense;
    The other when two souls unite,
    And we must count our life from thence,
    When you loved me and I loved you,
    Then both of us were born anew.
    William Cartwright (1611–1643)
