15. John J. Fisher- Oakland Athletics- $2 Billion
In addition to being the majority owner of Oakland Athletics, John J. Fisher also has stakes in Scotland’s Celtic F.C. and in Major League Soccer’s ‘San Jose Earthquakes. He is the son of Donald and Doris F. Fisher, who founded Gap Inc. He first worked in real estate for a company that collaborated with his parents’ businesses before becoming president of his parents’ investment company, Pisces Inc. He then jointly bought some hotels with Lewis Wolf and invested in the Oakland Athletics. He currently lives with his wife, Laura, in San Francisco.
1. Charles Johnson- San Francisco Giants- $6.4 Billion
Topping the list of the richest MLB team owners is Charlie Johnson who has a level of wealth that many may describe as excessive. With a personal net worth of $6.4 billion, it is just surprising that he hasn’t bought half the teams in the MLB. Charles ‘Charlie’ Johnson was born in Montclair, New Jersey, on January 6, 1933. His father, Rupert Harris Johnson, founded a metal fund company in 1947. Charles Johnson and his half-brother, Rupert Johnson Jr., co-chaired this company, which was called Franklin Resources. In 1992, Charles Johnson bought the San Francisco Giants for $100 million. At the moment, he takes a back-seat in terms of the day-to-day running of the franchise and the team control duties are in the hands of Larry Bear, the head of the ownership group. Charles Johnson is married to Ann Demarest Lutes who qualified as a doctor after raising her family. The couple has seven children together, although one is now deceased. Gregory, his son, is now the chairman and CEO of Franklin Resources.

Westside vandals are waging a guerrilla war against pay-per-mile scooters. These Bird electric scooters were left on the Venice Beach boardwalk. (Gabriel S. Scarlett / Los Angeles Times)
They've been crammed into toilets, tossed off balconies and set on fire. They’ve even been adorned with dangling bags of dog droppings.
As cities like Santa Monica and Beverly Hills struggle to control a rapid proliferation of electric pay-per-minute scooters, some residents are taking matters into their own hands and waging a guerrilla war against the devices. These vandals are destroying or desecrating the vehicles in disturbingly imaginative ways, and celebrating their illegal deeds on social media — in full view of authorities and the public.
“They throw them everywhere: in the ocean, in the sand, in the trash can,” said Robert Johnson Bey, a Venice Beach maintenance worker who regularly comes across scooter parts on the Venice Beach boardwalk, Speedway and adjoining alleys.
“Sunday, I was finding kickstands everywhere,” Bey said. “Looked like they were snapped off.”
The vandalism echoes a rash of pellet-gun attacks on so-called Google buses in the Bay Area and appears to be motivated in part by resentment over the increasing presence of tech corporations along the Southern California coast — what is now dubbed Silicon Beach.
But unlike the attacks on buses that ferry workers to their Google and Apple offices, the scooter destruction has elicited little sympathy or outrage — to say nothing of criminal investigations. The Los Angeles Police Department’s Pacific Division has received just one report of scooter vandalism that resulted in an arrest, but the case was rejected by the prosecutor. The Santa Monica Police Department said it hasn’t received any such reports.
Lt. Michael Soliman, who supervises the LAPD Pacific Division’s Venice Beach detail, said he’s aware of some vandalism — his team has seen scooters left in a pile 10 feet high. But because people aren’t reporting such incidents, it’s not something officers are responding to, he said.
“If we have to prioritize the allocation of our time and resources, first and foremost we’re going to prioritize the preservation of life,” Soliman said. “Protection of property comes second.”
Hailed as a cheap, clean-energy solution to urban gridlock when they first arrived in Los Angeles a year ago, Bird and Lime scooters now find themselves on the receiving end of a public and bureaucratic backlash — especially on the Westside, where they’ve established a buzzing omnipresence.
In Venice, where Bird is headquartered, City Council members voted to cap the number of scooters on city streets while officials craft longer-term regulations. Beverly Hills officials ordered them banned for six months. Los Angeles City Councilman Paul Koretz asked officials last week to take “all available measures” to outlaw the scooters within the city.
While most tech entrepreneurs expect some criticism and calls for regulation when they introduce new and potentially disruptive products, they don’t necessarily anticipate the outright destruction of their property. They also don’t expect to see such carnage celebrated and encouraged on social media.
Yet mayhem directed at dockless scooters is the order of the day on Instagram’s “Bird Graveyard,” whose contributors relish publishing photos and videos of scooters that have been set aflame, tossed into canals, smeared with feces and snapped into pieces. The account has more than 24,000 followers.
