Owner: Robert Johnson

Wealth: Television

Bob Johnson founded BET (Black Entertainment Television) in 1979 and was the first black billionaire in the US in 2001. Even today, he is one of only 2 black billionaires in the US (Oprah being the other). Unfortunately, Robert Johnson has the unofficial record for most expensive divorce in history, having forgotten to get a prenup to his wife Sheila Johnson, and losing about $900M to his ex-wife (who's now the 2nd richest woman in America behind Oprah).

Interesting Note: Michael Jordan is a minority owner.

Interesting Note: Nelly (of EI fame) is a minority owner.
