Magic & Cookie Johnson | House Tour | $2.3 Million Beverly Hills Mansion

Magic Johnson, the former superstar professional basketball player for the LA Lakers, has often been regarded as the best point guard of all time. With his NBA salary, Magic has bought he and his family some upscale real estate in multiple locations of California and Las Vegas over the years. Johnson and his longtime wife Cookie own a home in Beverly Hills in the gated section known as Beverly Park. The couple also owns a Tuscan-style beach house in Dana Point in Orange County, California. The couple even formerly owned a house in Napili, Hawaii, but it was too far to get to when their children were growing up, so they swapped it for the beach house located only 75 miles south of Beverly Hills. We did a little bit of digging and were able to find that Magic and Cookie also previously owned a luxury mansion in Las Vegas that came with a number of sick features. In these videos we don't reveal any addresses, and even though I've done a house tour of my own place, please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe for anyone. Magic Johnson has had quite the lucrative career in professional basketball, garnering a net worth of $600 million dollars, and during his playing career, Magic earned just over $18 million dollars in salary and several million more in endorsements. Magic's salary and endorsements were well-earned, as he's considered to be the greatest point guard of all time. Sadly, Magic's career was cut short by his 1991 contraction of the HIV virus. However, it was anything but a quiet retirement for him. During his retirement, he launched a business empire called Magic Johnson Enterprises that's valued at over $1 million dollars today, which has helped give Magic that personal net worth of $600 million. In addition, Magic Johnson Enterprises owns Magic Johnson Theatres, a movie studio, and a promotional marketing company. In 1994, Magic paid $10 million dollars to buy 5% of the Lakers, which he then went on to sell in 2010 for a reported $50 to $60 million dollars. In addition, in 2010, Johnson also sold his chain of Starbucks for $75 million. He doubled down in March 2012, as Magic and a group of partners purchased the Los Angeles Dodgers from Frank McCourt for $2 billion. So when you're the GOAT at being point guard in the NBA, and a successful entrepreneur, you're naturally going to live in some pretty solid real estate, and he obviously loves Cali. We're going to take a deep dive on his two California homes, plus the secret Las Vegas home that most fans might not even know about. Hey guys, it's Kara the Vampire Slayer, and I'm bringing you another house tour here on Famous Entertainment. Be sure to hit that subscribe button and ring that bell, we post a new video daily. Today we're checking out 3 of the lavish homes of Magic and Cookie Johnson, a couple who's been together for basically 30 years. If you like this video, we've done plenty of house tours on other athletes like Kyle Lowry and Deontay Wilder, and we'll link to some at the end. As always, don't forget to follow me on Instagram to chat, and now let's get into this video. While Magic and Cookie have a clear love affair with California homes, there was talk that the couple owned a luxurious gated mansion in Las Vegas they listed for 2.5 million dollars. This home is decked out with some sick features perfect for entertaining. The gated mansion is situated on 2.5 acres of land, and was built in 1997 with over 12,000 square feet of living space, boasting 5 beds and 6 baths. So what are these features the 2 story home comes with? Well, for one thing, the mansion features a two-level home theater and wet bar for those who want a date night without leaving the comfort of home. The residence features its very own aquarium and wine cellar, in case the bar doesn't quite cut it. Magic clearly still liked to pump the iron as the home featured a personal home gym and two lane bowling alley perfect for playing with guests. Staying true to his NBA roots, the home features an indoor basketball court and an additional racquetball court in case Magic wants to switch it up. The home featured both a stunning indoor swimming pool and outdoor lagoon swimming pool with grotto. Apparently, this home had something for everyone. There was even a kids beach pool, children's playground, in-ground trampoline, and indoor batting cage. I'm sure their kids absolutely loved all of that. In addition, the home features a floodlit tennis court, and you'll see Magic has a thing for tennis in his next property. There was even a rock climbing wall, making amusement parks look lame. In addition, the home came complete with a 2,500 square foot RV garage where he probably set up some sick family trips. Seeing these photos, it appears the home is perfect for entertaining large crowds, but hey, with your magic, you can do it. Probably the home more fans are familiar with, this Beverly Hills estate was Magic's first big real estate purchase while he was still playing in the NBA. Magic purchased the home in 1990 for 2.3 million dollars, and the home features over 12,000 square feet and boasts 7 bedrooms and 8 baths. Now, it's a good thing he held onto this puppy for so long because if he DID decide to list it today, it could be worth as much as 18 mil. Not that magic is hurting for the cash or anything, but that's a HUGE increase in value. Now this particular home is pretty private, but what we do know is a lot like his previous mansion, the home features an outdoor lagoon swimming pool with grotto and waterfalls. We can see the sprawling grounds from aerial pics of the place, and you can tell the home is amazing. We're talking all the goodies, including that private pool and spa with outdoor entertainment area, bar, barbecue, kitchen and fire pit. In addition, there's a private tennis court, just like his other place, for matches against family members or friends. Magic's home also features a Laker themed man cave that's just decked out with the championship rings. And let me tell you, his trophy room is full of tons of awards, trophies, and the Lakers logo on the floor adds a nice personal touch. Continuing this love affair with California, Magic and Cookie snagged a luxurious vacation home in Orange County back in 2007 for 7.6 million dollars. The Dana Point Mediterranean Home features 3 stories, 7,764 square feet, and boasts 5 bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms that come complete with majestic views of Catalina Island, the coastline, or the ocean from almost every window. I mean, the breathtaking views are inevitable when you own a Tuscan-style villa retreat perched high on a cliff above the ocean. The couple hired some help to create the beach home of their dreams. Cookie mentioned, Our other house is also Mediterranean, so I wanted the decorating to be a little different here, a little more on the contemporary side. The one thing I said is that I really wanted to bring the colours of the water and the beach inside. To compliment the house's light walls and dark woods, they added sandy white cushions and ocean blue pillows. Even Magic's measurements were taken, he's over 6 foot 9, just to make sure he could fit on the furniture, and that the chairs were made deep enough and the sofas high enough to accommodate him. Magic's family room serves as a primary hangout here with a pool table, and the space spills out onto a pool flank patio that features a large flat screen TV and glamorous furniture that matches the interior. Another popular spot for Magic and Cookie is the living room, which features Chanel covered sectionals and another flat screen, usually used for video games. But somehow I doubt it's Cookie playing those. And you'll be happy to know the home features an elevator, for guests too lazy to take the stairs. I just think any home with an elevator is a clear indicator that you've made it. As you might recall from Magic's first house tour, he loves his movie theatre, so before purchasing the home he made sure to say to his wife Cookie, all I want is a movie theatre, and Magic got his theatre. A pretty nice one might I add. The home theatre features a 14 seat media room on the first floor boasting padded suede walls, a 133 inch screen, and a state of the art control system. At night you can find the family here watching old basketball tapes, action movies, and comedies. Continuing the list of features in their beach home, Magic has yet another wine cellar, perfect for wine testing or impressing your guests. Moving outside the backyard features a luxurious terrace patio, chic pool, and lush gardens that offer fruit trees topped off nicely with stunning ocean views. The yard even boasts a private vineyard in case Magic decides to take his entrepreneurial success to winemaking. This space was completed with a barbeque area and fire pits, and in addition, there's another private cozy patio off the master bedroom, and a rooftop terrace that offers spectacular sunset views. Alright, so that's all I got for the homes of NBA legend Magic Johnson and his wife Cookie. The family has definitely lived in some gorgeous homes over the years, and clearly they've held onto their favourites. We saw a former mansion they once owned in Las Vegas, their gorgeous Dana Point Beach home, and what we know about their longtime family mansion in Beverly Hills. After checking out 3 of their properties, which would you like to live in most? Honestly, that's difficult for me, but I'm a big Las Vegas lover, so maybe I'd just take the one that they didn't want anymore. I mean, it really did have all the amenities.
