Robert Woods Johnson No. 4 is an heir to the Johnson & Johnson health care fortune, who heads his own personal investment company. He bought the NFL’s New York Jets for $635 million in January 2000. Johnson attended a ’98 hunting get together that Pioneer Heinz Prechter hosted for Bush and 12 top GOP fundraisers at his 10,000-acre Texas ranch. Bush emerged from this bird hunt as the GOP moneyed elite’s candidate. Johnson also was a hit. He amused the other big guns on the hunt by whipping out an elephant gun.
