He holds Bachelor of Science degree in political science from University of New Mexico. While studying, Johnson earned extra cash by working as a door-to-door handyman. This experience paid him off. So how he amassed his amazing fortune? Gary Johnson founded one of the largest construction companies in New Mexico called Big J Enterprises. Johnson eventually sold the company in 1999 when it had over one thousand employees.

He’s also an accomplished writer. In 2012, Johnson published Seven Principles of Good Government: Gary Johnson on liberty, people and politics. In late 2016, his second book hits stores and it’s called Common Sense for the Common Good; Libertarianism as the End of Two-Party Tyranny. Quite an interesting title, especially considering that Johnson really got very close to his objective during 2016 presidential election.

Johnson married his college girlfriend. However, Dee Johnson died of hypertensive heart disease in 2006. Three years later, he got engaged to real estate agent Kate Prusack. Since 2014, Gary Johnson is a president and CEO of Cannabis Sativa Inc, company that distributes marijuana for medical use.
