Johnson. Together they founded the entertainment network BET. They sold the company to Viacom in 1999. They have two children. In an interview, Sheila Johnson said she herself is "ashamed" of what the BET has become. "I don't watch it. I suggest to my kids that they don't watch it," she said. "When we started BET, it was going to be the Ebony magazine on television. We had public affairs programming. We had news... I had a show called Teen Summit, we had a large variety of programming, but the problem is that then the video revolution started up... And then something started happening, and I didn't like it at all. And I remember during those days we would sit up and watch these videos and decide which ones were going on and which ones were not. We got a lot of backlash from recording artists... and we had to start showing them. I didn't like the way women were being portrayed in these videos."[11] After her divorce from Robert L. Johnson in 2002, she was estimated to be worth about $670 million. In 2009, Forbes magazine estimated her net worth to be $400 million.[12] In May 2017, Johnson's net worth was placed at $750 million.[1] On September 24, 2005, she married Arlington County Circuit Court Chief Judge William T.

In early October 2009, Johnson mocked the stutter of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Creigh Deeds at a rally for McDonnell's campaign. She later apologized.[15] In April 2010, Johnson condemned Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell for his proclamation honoring Confederate History Month because it omitted any reference to slavery.[16] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/profile/sheila-johnson/| title = Sheila Johnson| website= Forbes| accessdate = September 29, 2018}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=7 things I learned from the first black female billionaire|url=http://www.bizjournals.com/bizwomen/news/profiles-strategies/2014/09/7-things-i-learned-from-the-first-black-female.html?page=all|website=BizWoman|accessdate=14 November 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web |last=Garman |first=Erica |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/26/AR2008092604200.html |title=Spa Aims to Turn Cold Shoulder Into Warm Embrace |work=Washington Post |date=September 2008}} 4. ^{{cite web |title=Sheila Johnson |work=The Biography Channel website |url=http://www.biography.com/people/sheila-johnson-17112944 |accessdate=30 May 2013}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Sheila Johnson|url=http://www.biography.com/people/sheila-johnson-17112944|website=Biography.com|accessdate=14 November 2014}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.care.org/campaigns/sheilajohnson/index.asp|title=Home|first=|last=careadmin|date=29 August 2013|website=CARE|accessdate=17 January 2018|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081127163900/http://www.care.org/campaigns/sheilajohnson/index.asp|archivedate=27 November 2008|df=}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://archrecord.construction.com/projects/interiors/archives/08_johnson/default.asp|title=Architectural Record - News, Continuing Ed, Products, Green Bldg|website=archrecord.construction.com|accessdate=17 January 2018}} 8. ^VH1 "DR.
