Notably, the Los Angeles Lakers legend has amassed a massive net worth of $620 million. Likewise, Magic enjoys a life of luxuries. The LA Dodgers owner mostly spends his lavish summers aboard his yacht, the Aquila. Recently, the Hall of Famer appeared on the popular All The Smoke podcast. Without any hesitation, host Matt Barnes asked for an invite on Johnson’s vacation transport.
