The Showtime Los Angeles Lakers remain one of the most exciting experiences in sports history. An act led by Magic Johnson- he became an overnight sensation. Additionally, after an iconic career, Johnson’s business adventures boomed. One of his most successful purchases was the LA Dodgers. A now MLB-winning owner, Earvin Johnson congratulated one of their former pinch hitters, Albert Pujols.

Surprisingly, Johnson made just 6% of his wealth from being one of the flashiest players in NBA history. The leader of the showtime got his true fortune away from the game. Turning $40 million into a whopping $600 million, the Lakers great owes his success to the start of Magic Johnson Enterprises. Investing in a line of lucrative businesses, in 2012, he led the bid to buy the Dodgers. A hefty 2.5 billion dollar price tag for the LA team. Instantly making an impact, 2020 became a year for Johnson as the City of Angels became champions in basketball and baseball.

And now, witnessing one of MLB’s greats, Albert Pujols carve his name in history, Johnson had to show love.
