"I think that New York liberated me in the sense that I moved here when I was 18, so it was a fresh perspective on life. I had been living in L.A. my whole life and I had never lived anywhere else, so being away from family and really making a name for myself was huge for me." EJ Johnson has been in the public eye since completing his studies at NYU. He is involved in many interesting entertainment projects and is now expanding his work to include fashion design.

Magic Johnson and Earlitha "Cookie" Kelly's son, Earvin III goes by the name of EJ. EJ was born on June 4, 1992, in Beverly Hills, California. Now, at the age of 27, he is continuing his role as an entertainer and TV personality while he develops his own fashion enterprise. EJ is well known for his fashion-forward style as well as his outgoing personality. He has spoken on a number of occasions about his desire to start his own fashion line, but few details are publicly known about the endeavor.  The Johnson family is known to be very close, and EJ has often talked about how the support of his parents has helped him to pursue his dreams. 

Famous Father and Entertainment Career

Earvin "Magic" Johnson Jr. is best known for his basketball career, but he is also a very successful businessman and entrepreneur. EJ has taken to entertainment and fashion rather than business, but it is clear that there are big things in store for this young man's future. In 2014 EJ began his entertainment career when he joined the cast of Rich Kids of Beverly Hills. The program ran on the E! Television network from 2014 to 2018 with EJ as a starring cast member for the final three seasons. From there, he moved on to his very own spin-off EJNYC which ran for six episodes. Starting in 2014 he also worked as a news and fashion presenter for the E! network covering events such as New York Fashion Week. Johnson also made a number of guest appearances on some of the network's most popular programs, including Fashion Police and Real Husbands of Hollywood. The younger Johnson also attended the prestigious New York University where he studied event planning and design.

Net Worth, Business Endeavors, and Charitable Works

EJ is currently worth around $2 million. His father, the basketball legend Magic Johnson has an estimated net worth of $650 million. His $2 million net worth is likely a combination of funds from his family with a certain amount that he has amassed from his own efforts. It has not been disclosed how much money he was paid for either of his two reality shows, and the salary for his work as an E! News correspondent is also not known. Many of the projects that EJ has worked on have not made salary details public. What we do know from both EJNYC and Rich Kids of Beverly Hills is that EJ loves the finer things in life. From his stylish and sophisticated wardrobe to his lush living arrangements, EJ always goes in style! In spite of his fabulous style and public persona, EJ also somehow manages to come across as very genuine and down to earth. Perhaps it is his close-knit family that helps him to keep his feet somewhat on the ground. 

Many people consider his father, Magic Johnson, to be one of the best basketball players in history, but they aren't as aware of his business success. Magic Johnson founded his corporate entity, Magic Johnson Enterprises, in 1987. Today, the business is estimated to be worth $700 million. In 2004, he sold his movie theaters to Lowe's Cineplex Entertainment for an unknown sum. In addition to the restaurants, movie theaters, and other business ventures, Magic also has interests in different sports enterprises. He has an interest in the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Los Angeles Sparks, a WNBA team that won the championship in 2016. Johnson is also a co-owner of the Major League Soccer team the Los Angeles Football Club.
