James Wittenborn Johnson (born 1979) is an American heir, filmmaker, and socialite. He is a great-grandson of Robert Wood Johnson I (co-founder of Johnson & Johnson). He has also worked as a journalist and as a fashion designer.

Early life

Jamie Johnson was born in 1979 to Johnson & Johnson heir James Loring Johnson, son of John Seward Johnson I,[1][2] and Gretchen Wittenborn Johnson, sister of screenwriter and novelist Dirk Wittenborn.[3] Johnson grew up with his four older sisters and a brother on a New Jersey estate.[4][5] The family also had residences in East Hampton, New York and Jupiter Island, Florida.[6][7]

He graduated from Pingry School, a preparatory school in Martinsville, New Jersey.[4][8] He graduated with a B.A. from the Gallatin School at New York University in 2003,[9] where he studied Medieval history,[10] American history,[11] and filmmaking.[12][13]

Career

Filmmaking

In 2003, his documentary film Born Rich premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.[4] It discussed his experience, as well as the experiences of ten other young heirs, of growing up with inherited wealth.[14][15] There were sold-out screenings of the film in New York City for weeks.[16] The film was broadcast on television by HBO, as part of its America Undercover series.[4][17] Johnson received two Emmy Award nominations for the film, in 2004: Outstanding Directing for Nonfiction Programming, and Outstanding Nonfiction Special; with Johnson receiving the latter nomination as a producer.[18]

In 2006, Johnson's second film, The One Percent, premiered at the TriBeCa Film Festival. The documentary examines the system that allows a growing wealth gap in America, focusing on the one percent of Americans who control 40 percent of the country's wealth.[19][20] The film featured Robert Reich, Bill Gates Sr., Milton Friedman, and many others coming from various socioeconomic strata, including residents of Chicago's Cabrini–Green housing project and Hurricane Katrina victims.[19][21] The film premiered on television on HBO's Cinemax in 2008.[21]

Television appearances and cameo roles

In 2003, Johnson was interviewed on The Oprah Winfrey Show about Born Rich in a namesake episode that also featured Paris Hilton and Nicky Hilton.[22] He was also interviewed about the documentary on Paula Zahn Now on CNN and CNN Sunday Morning before the film's television debut on HBO.[23][24] In 2004, he was interviewed about the film on 60 Minutes on Australia's Channel 9.[25]

In 2006, he was on Oprah discussing The One Percent in an episode on "Class in America", along with Nicole Buffett, who was in the film.[26] Warren Buffett's disowning of Nicole shortly after the interview garnered media attention and was included in the HBO version of documentary.[27][28] In 2008, Johnson was interviewed about the film on The Early Show on CBS on the day of the film's television debut on HBO.[29]

Johnson was on Oprah in 2009 discussing how the recession affects rich families[30] in an episode about the declining American middle class.[31] The wealth gap widened in the Great Recession that occurred after the 2006 episode on social class,[31] where Johnson stated that historians always list a growing wealth gap among the reasons for the decline of great civilizations.[26] In 2013, Johnson commented on meritocracy in America on All In with Chris Hayes on MSNBC on the day Prince George was born.[32]

In 2011, he had a cameo role as himself on Gossip Girl.[33][34] In 2012, he had a cameo role as Julie's suitor in Arbitrage.[35]

Writing

From 2008 to 2011, Johnson wrote an online weekly column for Vanity Fair titled "The One Percent" on various perspectives, practices, and issues of the wealthy.[36][37] He wrote an article titled "The One Percent" for The Huffington Post in 2008.[38] In 2014, he wrote for The New York Times about a White House summit for 100 young philanthropists and heirs to billionaire family fortunes where he was an invitee.[39]

Fashion

In 2010, Johnson launched a high-end fashion collection called Black Sweater.[40] The clothing line was launched at Bergdorf Goodman in 2011.[41][42] He started by making garments for friends and family after friends commented on custom clothing he had designed for himself.[43]
