In 2003, at the age of 23, Jamie Johnson, heir to the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical fortune, captured the rituals, worries and social customs of the young Trump’s, Vanderbilt’s, Newhouse’s Bloomberg's and more in the documentary special, Born Rich.
Before the film was finished a few of the people he interviewed thought that perhaps they may have said too much and threatened to sue. Jamie thumbed his nose at them and released the film, which was nominated for 2 Emmy awards.
In 2006 Jamie finished the next documentary, The One Percent which focus’s on the top one percent of Americans in terms of wealth, who controlled 42.2 percent of total financial wealth in the United States in 2004.
