Magic Johnson had a successful NBA career after playing 13 seasons in the league. He won five championships with the Los Angeles Lakers before his final retirement in 1996. However, he has made quite a name for himself since then through several successful investments. Magic has a net worth of around $620 million and is determined to increase it. He recently appeared on the ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ show and agreed to invest in a new sport.

Magic Johnson is a familiar face in the franchise owners’ circle due to his stakes in a few LA-based franchises. He already has a minority stake in the LA Dodgers as a part of the Guggenheim Baseball Management.
