Thanks. Yeah LBJ left office as the wealthiest President with the exception of maybe Geo Washington. Washington inflation adjusted was supposedly a billionaire.
What is weird is after he left office the family almost disappeared off the radar.
Really, really off topic but kind of interesting. For many, many years LBJ controlled all broadcasting in Austin with only a single TV station they owned that carried content, as they wanted, from all three networks.
When they were finally pressured into opening up the market they arranged that any new stations were broadcast on a UHF channel which, at the time, only newer televisions could receive (this was long before cable).
It's no longer an issue but to this day there's only one VHF channel in Austin.
He ran Austin like his personal fiefdom and it hurt Austin for many, many years.

Washington or Johnson?
