America’s richest black man weds longtime sweetheart

America's richest black man, Robert Louis Johnson, has made it official with his longtime heartthrob, Lauren Wooden. The two who began dating in 2010 said '"I do" over the weekend in Napa Napa Valley, California on Saturday, May 7. Robert Louis Johnson, 70, is an American businessman, media magnate, executive, philanthropist, and investor. He is the founder of Black Entertainment Television and is the richest black man in the US...worth over $3 billion (Oprah is the richest black woman, both of them run media empires, though Johnson sold BET to Viacom in 2001). Lauren, on the other hand, is an international business-management doctorate student. Congrats to them. Source: America's richest black man weds longtime sweetheart
