Though Bob Johnson is known for his contributions to media, he’s also known for his fortune, which earned him the title of the nation’s first African-American billionaire. But in 2006, he began to focus on the world of financial business. He launched RLJ Equity Partners, a middle-market private equity firm focused on generating long-term capital appreciation by investing in profitable and growing businesses.  RLJ originates, structures and invests in traditional buy-outs, recapitalizations and growth capital infusions. RLJ primarily invests in North American companies with enterprise values between $50 million and $250 million.
