Magic Johnson | $600 Million

Magic Johnson rose to international popularity during, what journalists call, the Showtime era of the LA Lakers. His rivalry with Larry Bird remains to be one of the best rivalries sports entertainment has ever seen. Magic is a five-time NBA Champion with three NBA Finals MVP to his credit. Like most star athletes, he earned his millions not only from his salary as a former professional basketball player but also through tons of endorsement deals. These include his $2-million contract with Converse and his $3-million agreement with Campofrio. The two-time basketball Hall of Famer retired in 1996, and although he played lesser and lesser games during the last few years of his pro career, he still earned $14.6 million in salary. He also played for the famous Magic Johnson All-Stars, where he earned $365,000 per game. Thus far, he has garnered an impressive net worth of over $600 million.

Magic has multiple real estate properties to his name, including a Beverly Hills pad and a beach house in Dana Point, Orange County.
