Magic Johnson Shines Spotlight on Dennis Rodman’s Daughter Trinity Amid $14.6B Franchises’ Perfect Run

What turns $40 million into a massive $1.5 billion empire? Just ask Magic Johnson. The NBA icon has mastered the game off the court, building his fortune through bold and strategic investments across multiple sports, from NBA and NFL franchises to the NWSL. And it’s not just his bank account that’s winning; his teams are on an impressive hot streak, dominating their leagues. Right now, Magic is living the best of both worlds, enjoying financial success while celebrating victories across his $14.6 billion franchises on every front.

Magic Johnson had plenty to celebrate this weekend, and he made sure to share it with his fans. Taking to Instagram, he wrote, “A victorious Sunday for me and Cookie! The Dodgers handled business against the Orioles, our Commanders beat the Giants, and we ended the day watching our NWSL team, the Washington Spirit, beat the Seattle Reign 2-0. Superstar Trinity Rodman scored both goals in today’s victory!” Talk about a weekend full of wins!

Magic Johnson gave a special shoutout to Trinity Rodman, daughter of Dennis Rodman and star of the $130 million franchise. She led the charge as the team extended their unbeaten streak to seven matches with a 2-0 win. In the 13th minute, she sprinted down the left wing, leapt over defenders, and sent a perfect pass to Leicy Santos, whose shot just skimmed over the crossbar.

Then in the 33rd minute, Santos fed a quick pass to Trinity, who calmly poked the ball past the keeper for her second goal of the season. Magic’s admiration was clear — Trinity’s speed, skill, and star power continue to shine brightly.

The $6.8 billion Dodgers, according to Forbes, also secured a win Sunday, beating the Baltimore Orioles 5-2 to snap a five-game losing streak. Shohei Ohtani crushed two homers, Mookie Betts added a solo shot, and Clayton Kershaw pitching against the only team he’d never faced in his 18-year career struck out eight while allowing just two runs over 5 2/3 innings. With this strong showing, the NL West leaders closed out the series on a high note.

The Mantras behind Magic Johnson’s empire

The secret behind Magic Johnson’s successful investments? He broke it down on the Bloomberg podcast. For him, it all starts with preparation. He told his Commander players that practice sets the tone for game day: “You gotta practice the way you’re gonna play on Sunday. So that starts on Monday all the way through.” But it’s not just about individual effort, teamwork matters.

“We lose as a team, we win as a team. It can’t be hidden agendas… that kills you every time,” he said. Once personal goals take over the team’s, everything unravels: “It’s going to kill you. You’re going to lose, and it trickles down within the locker room.” That team-first mentality, combined with relentless preparation, is exactly what drives Magic’s sports and business empire.

He further explained his mantra at Invest Fest 2025, where Magic Johnson got real about what drives his success. “I go to bed at eight o’clock, I’m up at four, I work out for two hours, and then I’m in the office all day,” he shared, giving fans a glimpse into his disciplined routine. Magic called himself “self-motivated” and made it clear he doesn’t need anyone to pat him on the back, his hunger to win comes from within. But for him, it’s not just about stacking wealth; it’s about representation and influence.

“What is our biggest challenge,” he said, “is that we don’t have a seat at the table.” For Magic, real success means using his platform to create opportunities, open doors, and make sure his community has a voice in decisions that matter.
