His
name is a legend in NBA ranks... but these days, Magic Johnson's
life revolves around big -business-. He owns 35 Starbucks franchises,
a movie Cineplex chain, the Fatburger fast food chain, 24-hour Fitness
Club chain and various other establishments. This former NBA star
has also helped millions of urban children through his foundation.
Now, he's reaching out to help African American adults learn more
about their money and how to save it. He's doing it with a unique
program developed by Phillip Morris and the National Urban League.
It's called "Know Your Money". The 12-week course is being
offered in 5 U.S. cities, including Chicago.
He
was here recently for the Chicago Know Your Money launch party.
That's when he sat down with 190's Liza Cruzat for a chat.
