John Paul DeJoria Life

John Paul Jones DeJoria (born April 13, 1944) is a Greek-Italian-American entrepreneur, a self-made billionaire and philanthropist best known as a co-founder of the Paul Mitchell line of hair products and The Patrón Spirits Company.

Early life and education

John Paul Jones DeJoria was born the second son of an Italian immigrant father and a Greek immigrant mother on April 13, 1944, in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. His parents divorced by the time he was two years old. When his single mother proved unable to support both children, they were sent to an East Los Angeles foster home and stayed there during the week until he was nine and returned to his mother. At nine he began selling Christmas cards and newspapers with his older brother to support his family.

Personal life

DeJoria is married. He and his wife, Eloise (née Broady), have contributed over $4,000 to the political campaigns of Senator Ted Cruz and over $5,000 to Texas Governor Rick Perry, among others, as well as to the DNC and many Democratic political candidates.

DeJoria is a supporter of Mobile Loaves & Fishes, Food4Africa, Mineseeker, and Blazer House. In 2008, DeJoria traveled to sub-Saharan Africa to join Nelson Mandela in his efforts to help feed over 17,000 orphaned children through Food4Africa. In the same year his company Paul Mitchell helped provide over 400,000 life-saving meals for the children. Dejoria is a co-creator of Grow Appalachia, an organization begun in 2009 which helps promote healthy food and teaching farming skills.

In 2017, a documentary named Good Fortune was released depicting the struggle and philanthropic work of DeJoria which later won the Audience Award for Best Documentary at Sundance.

In 2012, using a video, he showed his support for Captain Paul Watson of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, when Watson was detained in Germany for interfering with shark finning operations.

In 2019, he purchased the 80-acre (32 ha) former McDonald's global headquarters campus. This acquisition includes the Hamburger University training facility, in addition to the Hyatt-branded and managed hotel, The Hyatt Lodge.

Locals could be left homeless if plans to convert Scotland's castle into a "billionaires' playground."

www.dailymail.co.uk, July 29, 2023
The Kenmore village in Highland Perthshire (pictured) is the result of change, a complete re-drafting of the area to make it into a 'billionaires' playground,' according to critics. A 7,000-acre parcel of Scottish land will be unveiled as part of the US real estate corporation's new 'worlds.' To buy into it, eyewatering sums will be needed. Other 'worlds' - or "luxury lifestyle residential communities" have sprouted in the most coveted of locations in Florida, Hawaii, Bahamas, and Dubai, to name a few. However, the Perthshire 'world', with the magnificent Taymouth Castle as its centrepiece, is the first in the United Kingdom. It will have 167 new high-end homes for rent, each lining a private golf course that is currently landscaped on the former public golf course's site. It is predicted that in time it would be seeded with the 'American grass' that is so popular by foreign visitors.

Developers in Kenmore, a tiny Scottish village, have been 'trangled.'

According to campaigners, a picturesque Scottish village with a 19th-century castle is being'strangled' by US developers who have bought up the majority of the area. Kenmore, Perthshire, is best known for its wildlife, woodland estate, and Taymouth Castle, which was a filming location for the 1997 Judi Dench film Mrs Brown. Locals are furious over Discovery Land Company's proposal to create a 320-hectare gated community on the Taymouth estate and neighboring Glenlyon Estate. They fear billionaires are attempting to create a 'playground' for the super wealthy in Kenmore, which has seen the local hotel and post office close. 'Protect Loch Tay', a new online group, has been launched with the intention of stopping development and safeguarding the area's wildlife and natural beauty. Locals in the village, which only has 100 people, are particularly worried about the local populations of beavers, otters, birds, and rare species. The Taymouth estate, which had been open to walkers, now has 'path blocked' signs and security warnings, according to them, with the castle, which was built in 1806, covered in scaffolding as part of a major £300 million renovation program. Discovery Land Company and John Paul DeJoria, a hairdresser who co-founded Paul Mitchell hair products and is married to Eloise Broady, a former Playboy model, purchased the castle in 2018.
