Knowing how to cut a deal and make the most out of a transaction is the basis of being a great businessman, and Johnson proved it when he bought his current residence. But his entrepreneurship skills aren’t limited to making deals. He has two leading brands, the Teremana Tequila and the Zoa energy drink. Both of which are equally making strides in their respective market.
