About Jamie Johnson
At the TriBeCa Film Festival in 2006, Johnson’s second feature film, titled The One Percent, had its world premiere. The one percent of Americans who control forty percent of the wealth in the country are the primary focus of the documentary, which investigates the system that contributes to the widening wealth inequality in the United States.
The documentary featured Robert Reich, Bill Gates Sr., Milton Friedman, and a large number of other individuals hailing from a variety of social strata. These individuals included residents of the Cabrini–Green housing project in Chicago as well as victims of Hurricane Katrina. In 2008, the movie made its debut on television for the first time on HBO’s Cinemax.
Pingry School, which is located in Martinsville, New Jersey, is a preparatory school. He graduated from there. It was in 2003 when he received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the Gallatin School at New York University, where he majored in filmmaking in addition to studying American history and medieval history.
In 2003, Johnson was a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show to discuss his book Born Rich. The episode was titled after Johnson’s book and also featured interviews with Paris Hilton and Nicky Hilton. Before the documentary was shown for the first time on HBO, he discussed it in interviews that aired on Paula Zahn Now and CNN Sunday Morning, both of which were shown on CNN. In 2004, he was a guest on the 60 Minutes program on Channel 9 in Australia, where he discussed the movie.
Between the years 2008 and 2011, Johnson was the author of an online weekly column for Vanity Fair titled “The One Percent” in which he discussed various viewpoints, behaviors, and problems associated with the wealthy. In 2008, he contributed to The Huffington Post with an article that was titled “The One Percent”. In 2014, he contributed an article to The New York Times in which he discussed a summit held at the White House for one hundred young philanthropists and heirs to rich family fortunes. The event was also attended by him.
In 2009, Johnson appeared on Oprah and discussed how the recession impacts wealthy families during a program that was on the decline of the middle class in the United States. The wealth gap widened after the 2006 episode on social class, in which Johnson stated that historians always list a growing wealth gap among the reasons for the decline of great civilizations. The Great Recession, which occurred after the episode on social class, caused the wealth gap to widen even further. On the day that Prince George was born in 2013, Johnson spoke on All In with Chris Hayes on MSNBC and discussed the meritocracy that exists in the United States.
Johnson presented a high-end fashion line under the name Black Sweater for the first time in the year 2010. In 2011, Bergdorf Goodman was the store that introduced the new clothing brand. He got his start in the garment industry by manufacturing clothes for his family and friends, after friends complimented him on the unique apparel he had developed just for himself. In the 2011 season of Gossip Girl, he appeared in a cameo appearance as himself. In the movie “Arbitrage,” which was released in 2012, he appeared briefly as a potential suitor for Julie.
