Robert Wood Johnson II
Person
Born
The son of a Johnson & Johnson co-founder, Robert Wood Johnson II ran the company for decades and left nearly all of his J&J shares to the foundation that bears his name when he died in 1968. Since 1972 the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has been one of America's biggest health charities. It diversified away from J&J stock over time, so it now has no controlling relationship with the company.
