LeBron James has been able to become the only active NBA player to join the exclusive billionaire club, this is thanks to his earnings as a player but most importantly his endorsement deals and investments in all kinds of business have made him able to cross that line.

James has a net worth of around 1.1 billion dollars, the other NBA player, better said, former NBA player and basketball legend to be a billionaire is Michael Jordan who has a fortune of more than 2 billion, but both stars have now been joined by no other than the showtime era legend Magic Johnson.

Magic learned from Dr. Jerry Buss and now co-owns four different sports franchises and has other investments that have helped him to ammas an impressive fortune and now according to Forbes he is a billionaire. Magic has joined Tiger Woods, MJ, and LeBron as the 4th athlete to cross the billion-dollar mark.
