He was arguably the highest basketball IQ ever and has built a personal net worth of 600 million.
He's never going to come off as a polished intellectual, but he obviously knows what he's doing in some areas of life. He's achieved extraordinary success in basketball and business.
He's like Jordan, who also has done poorly as a front office guy. Neither is necessarily a rocket scientist, but they understood basketball and took that money and made solid business decisions with it.
Before you criticize Magic's business acumen, think of how many athletes invest in dumb **** and go broke.

The only smart decision Magic has made business wise was networking and taking the advice of his buddies in the business world. The notion Magic researched business opportunities on his own is lunacy. Someone said, "hey Magic, Starbucks is a great investment", and Magic listened. The guy can barely speak, so I seriously doubt he has any concept of finance or accounting which is required in any business venture.
