Jazz Johnson Merton Net Worth
So what is Jazz Johnson Merton net worth? The Johnson family, whose patriarch Robert Wood Johnson founded Johnson and Johnson is worth over $6 billion, according to Forbes.
That is only part of the Johnson estate, much of which went to Johnson’s charitable foundation and his mistress. The money flowed through Jazz Johnson Merton’s grandfather, John Seward Johnson, who left behind around $500 million.
Most of that went to his mistress, however, and only about $200 million ended up in the hands of Jazz Johnson Merton’s parents, according to a lawsuit filed by the family.
In the end, we estimate Jazz Johnson Merton net worth at about $25 million. A nice sum of money, but nowhere near what the family started with.
