Meet John Morgan, The Billionaire Lawyer Behind $350 Million A Year In Ads
His personal injury law firm did $2 billion in revenue last year and his business empire includes a crime museum with O. J. Simpson's white Bronco.
www.forbes.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent public reporting:
- John Morgan, the prominent Florida attorney and political donor, announced in early 2026 that he would not run for governor of Florida, though he indicated ongoing plans to pursue a new political party. This ends widespread speculation about a gubernatorial bid in the 2026 cycle.[3][5]
- Reports in early 2025 indicated Morgan floated the idea of launching a new political party and hinted at further political involvement, after previously being associated with Democratic-leaning causes and independent positioning. He has publicly described himself as oriented toward policy and people rather than party labels.[1]
- Coverage around late 2024 into 2025 framed Morgan as a major political donor with influence in Florida politics, including commentary on his past stance and potential future moves, though no definitive run materialized at that time. Forbes has highlighted his prominence in political advertising and his broader business footprint.[4][7]
