Lonnie Johnson invented the Super Soaker in 1990 and by 1991 it sold over $200 Million in sales. After the company was acquired by Hasbro in 1995, he designed the modern-day Nerf Gun. In 2013, he learned he was being severely underpaid in royalties and successfully sued Hasbro, thus awarding him $73 Million for his work. His current net worth is $400 Million and by 2015, Super Soaker sales exceeded $1 Billion. -Born in Mobile, Alabama -Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering -Master's Degree in Nuclear Engineering -Honorary Ph.D. in Science from Tuskegee University -Worked for the Air Force and NASA #BlackHistory ✊🏾

Get acquainted with #inventor #LonnieJohnson, a spacecraft systems engineer, who came up with the idea for the toy while tinkering with a new type of heat pump for refrigerators & air conditioners during his spare time in 1982.

My favorite genre of music is the blues, and one of the best blues of the early 20's is Mr. Johnson, so I just want to share this with people.
