One individual that stands out is Robert “Bob” Johnson, who took a $500,000 investment to start BET in 1979 and transformed it into a $3 billion company. His current venture, the RLJ Companies, is a holding company with a global reach that extends into the financial services, real estate, hospitality, professional sports, film production, automotive and gaming industries. He has created hundreds of jobs in different industries, improved America’s position as a global economic competitor, and he has reinvested the wealth he created into the community with generous, ongoing donations to various local and national organiza- tions that change lives every day.
