Mark Cuban’s Mavericks see immense value in Luka Magic. It is why they signed him on a $207 million contract to start the 2023 season. The first season earnings of this contract alone could earn him $40 million. A pretty buck for a fine player.

His net worth is currently estimated at $25 million. That number is sure to change with a new NBA contract, new Jordan Brand contract, and a new shoe line. He’s also on the international stage, representing Slovenia in the FIBA World Cup against his NBA colleagues in Team USA.

His name is in the running for the Michael Jordan MVP trophy. 2023-24 might be when he finally earns it. If he takes the title, he’d do it wearing his signature Jordan shoes and as the face of the Jordan Brand. Doesn’t get more poetic than that!
