In 1979, John Malone, nickname "Cable Cowboy" funded BET with half a million dollar investment. 

Robert Johnson is important because he is the world's first black selfmade billionaire 


BET is Black Entertainment TV

He achieved this status when he sold BET to Viacom for $3 Billion in 2001

Then he underwent the most expensive divorce of his days (2002) and his wife Sheila Johnson came up with $400 million settlement 



Two years later, Sheila Johnson would marry William A. Teaman 

Newman was the judge who awarded the $400 million 

Thus Sheila Johnson and Judge Willima A.  Newman lived happily ever after
