You can upgrade to OS X Mavericks from Snow Leopard (10.6.8), Lion (10.7), or Mountain Lion (10.8). (for free)

If you only had Leopard you had to spend $20 to get Snow Leopard first before getting the update to Mavericks.

Edit: I should say that not all Snow Leopard machines can be upgrade to Mavericks, a bunch of the 2006 models can't.
