    Interesting story in here on the newspaper company he co-founded with Will Jarrett, each investing about 50K of their own money and walking away with about $20 million each:

    I never met Johnson, but I met Jarrett (job interview in Dallas) about a year before he and Johnson started their company. He was incredibly blunt, asking me about a former boss, which I answered diplomatically, and then he said, "Yeah? I think he's an asshole."
