    According to Idol Net Worth, Johnny had an estimated net worth of $6 million. Johnny had established himself both in the music industry and politics. 

    He stepped into music in 1959 and went on to create some of the biggest hits of all time. Some of his famous tracks include Capulla y Sorullo, Que Se Sepa, La Rubia and La Vida vs la Muerte among others. Meanwhile, he was elected as the mayor of Santo Domingo in 1998. 

    In an interview with lawyer Lenis Garcia, talking about his political career, Johnny had said, "What does an artist have that does not allow him to be part of the solutions to his country's problems? The artist is more sensitive than most human beings, it is scientifically proven, this means that such a sensitive person suffers more from bad actions that are done in politics."
