Magic Johnson

Magic Johnson is continuing to build up his profile after retirement, joining the board of directors of Cameo which will pay him well with the prices he’s set.

Johnson has made a series of investments over his career and post-career which have helped him retain a massive net worth and be one of the prominent business-men in today’s landscape.

The Lakers point guard is widely regarded as the best point guard to have ever played the game. He’s won five NBA championships, been Finals MVP three times, and has a whole list of other accolades including being a three time MVP, a 12 time All Star, and a nine time All NBA First Team member.

Magic was also part of the storied ‘Dream Team’ in 1992 that won gold for the US in dominating fashion. The stories around Magic are also incredible.

Right from his rookie year, you knew he was going to be great. He showed that much when he filled in at center for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in game six of the 1980 Finals against the 76ers. Magic posted a statline 42 points, 15 rebounds, and seven assists to guide the Lakers to a series clinching win.

Johnson is also super thrilled to be part of the company. “Fans who didn’t connect or couldn’t see me in person can now get a ‘Happy Birthday’ or ‘Happy Father’s Day,’” Johnson explained. “This is a way for 40,000 entertainers and athletes to stay connected to their fans.”
