Basketball billionaire Magic Johnson's heartwarming act as he soaks up the sun on family vacation in Monaco
Johnson was observed on Sunday going into a store, with a large crowd gathering outside to get a glimpse of the legendary point guard.
The former Los Angeles Laker came outside the store with his bodyguards and was happy to stop and chat with fans and take a few photos as well.
Johnson can be seen in a white shirt, green cargo pants, and white shoes standing in a large crowd of people, taking photos and smiling.
The interactions took place along the Princesse Alice Avenue in the heart of Monaco, where many high-end clothing stores reside.
The choices for Johnson to shop at within the block include Saint Laurent, the store where the photos with the basketball legend were taken in front of, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Cartier, Chanel, and Fendi.
Security for Johnson can be seen standing close by at all times as he approaches the store and takes photos with fans.
Johnson is on a European tour of sorts, spending time on the island of Corfu in Greece, as well as in Capri, Italy, Montenegro, and Croatia.
Johnson appears to be staying on his expensive yacht during the excursion, with him posting a video walking on a treadmill from the ship's deck last week.
Although Johnson was wealthy from his NBA days, he has become a billionaire through his business deals.
Johnson is also part of the ownership groups of several sports teams, including the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Washington Commanders.
Even with his massive fortune, Johnson has made time to give back to those that have brought him acclaim, evidenced by the heartwarming act in Monaco.

Major cruise line issues warning for key Greek destinations - in a huge blow to holidaymakers
MSC Cruises has issued a warning to guests travelling to Greece on any of its cruise ships this year. Passengers have been advised that Greece will soon be introducing a tourist tax as part of its sustainable tourism aims. MSC told affected customers: 'Starting July 21 2025, the Greek Government will introduce a new cruise passenger fee for all guests visiting Greek ports, as part of their Sustainable Tourism program. 'This fee, similar those already in place for hotels and other types of accommodation, is designed to support local infrastructure, promote sustainable tourism and enhance visitors' experience. 'Please note that this mandatory fee applies to all guests, regardless of age, who transit through a Greek port - including ports of call as well as the port of disembarkation.' The new fee will be added to passengers' onboard accounts as the cruise line will pay it directly to the port authorities. MSC added: 'If you choose to stay onboard and not go ashore, the expense will be automatically removed from your account within 24 hours.' Cruise holidaymakers will pay the highest fee to visit Mykonos and Santorini, two of Greece's most popular island destinations. Visiting either of these islands in peak summer season - between July and September - will incur a fee of €20/£17.22 per person. In other, less popular ports, cruise guests will be charged €5/£4.30 per person during peak season. The tax is lower in shoulder season - April, May and October - where cruise passengers will be charged €12/£10.28 to visit Santorini and Mykonos and €3/£2.57 at all other ports. It's cheapest in winter when guests will need to pay just €4/£3.43 on the two most popular islands and €1/86p elsewhere. Funds raised from the new tax will be spent on infrastructure and tourism projects in Greece. And Greece isn't the only destination where cruise passengers are getting stung with a new fee. Mexico, a stop on many Caribbean itineraries, will now charge cruise tourists a $5/£3.67 fee per passenger. That fee is set to soar to $21/£15.42 per passenger over the next three years and it has been introduced following criticism of cruise lines from Mexican officials. The new fee will be added to passengers' onboard accounts as the cruise line will pay it directly to the port authorities They've accused the cruise lines of failing to contribute enough to local communities in the ports they visit. Royal Caribbean and other major cruise lines have reportedly fought against the introduction of the tax, arguing that passengers already spend money in each destination. The tax will be paid in addition to the port fees that cruise lines already pay in Mexico. Officials argue that many airlines already charge a tourist tax within the price of a plane ticket to Mexico and they want cruise passengers to pay to.

Tourist outraged as notorious bar charges €1000 for three meals - including €350 for one fish
A tourist visiting the sun-soaked holiday hotspot of Mykonos has spoken out after being hit with a staggering €1,000 bill at a controversial beachside restaurant - including an eye-watering €350 charge for a single piece of fish. Located on the scenic Platis Gialos beach on the Greek island is DK Oyster, which markets itself as a 'high-end destination' catering to those 'seeking special moments of relaxing seclusion '. But in recent years, countless customers have left a string of negative reviews online, claiming their experience had left a massive dent in their wallets. One traveller, known only as Jessica L on TripAdvisor, shared her experience online, calling her visit to DK Oyster 'the worst experience in Mykonos'. In a scathing one-star review, she described how she and her fellow diners were charged over €1,000 (£861) for just three dishes. She wrote: 'The place is an abuse of price. For a whole fish we paid 350 euros and for three dishes 1000 euros. 'The worst experience in Mykonos, because not even at Scorpions, which is one of the best places, did we pay that amount for a dinner for 5 people with a starter, main course, and dessert.' While the restaurant lists prices such as €24.80 (£21.36) per 100g of sea bream, customers allege they are often not informed of the full cost until the final bill arrives - with some claiming they are charged for fish by the gram without prior knowledge. Other TripAdvisor users echoed Jessica's frustration, with several branding the restaurant a 'complete scam.' Describing the venue as a 'shocking scam', one former customer, who goes by Sue, wrote: 'A staff member brought over an additional drink - unrequested - as a "gift" for our group of four. It seemed like a friendly gesture... until it appeared on the bill.' Sue also alleged she had been charged €400 for a 'handful' of alcoholic and soft drinks - including €35 for a Coca-Cola. Another visitor, Amrita, who dined at the restaurant in June 2024, claimed she was 'lured in' with free sunbeds and handed a menu, to which she decided to order the the fish. She added: 'They never explained that the fish is charged by the weight of the full fish. We became aware when they brought a bill for €400. The actual fish served was greater than 1kg.' A third guest, Gabriela, accused DK Oyster of 'theft,' writing: 'They convince you to order a beer that costs 35 euros each. And quickly come with the bill for you to already pay and leave.' Finally, another customer urged future visitors to 'avoid at all costs', adding: 'Lunch and sunbeds for €35. But when we added two bottles of water and a Diet Coke, they added on €51. They then added €5 for use of ketchup and €18 for small fries.' DK Oyster has maintained a controversial reputation over the years, frequently hitting headlines for allegedly misleading pricing tactics. The restaurant, which has plush sunbeds and seaside views, appears to cater to luxury travellers - but many reviewers suggest the concept is overshadowed by extortionate billing The restaurant, which boasts plush sunbeds and dramatic seaside views, appears to cater to luxury travellers - but many reviewers suggest the concept is overshadowed by extortionate billing and aggressive sales tactics. MailOnline Travel has reached out to DK Oyster for comment. It comes as MailOnline revealed in 2024 the owner of the restaurant flaunts his jet-setting lifestyle on social media. Dimitrios Kalamaras, whose initials give the DK Oyster restaurant its name, apparently earns colossal amounts from hapless tourists who order food or drinks without checking the prices. DK Oyster hit the headlines in July 2024 for charging €121 for three scrawny crab legs to a team of undercover MailOnline journalists. Kalamaras was believed to have been the man seen on video arguing with our reporter over his astronomical bill.
