NICOLA TESLA
Everyone on here should know who he is....
Tesla died of heart failure alone in the New Yorker Hotel, some time between the evening of January 5 and the morning of January 8, 1943, at the age
of 86. Despite selling his AC electricity patents, Tesla was essentially destitute and died with significant debts. Later that year the US Supreme
Court upheld Tesla's patent number U.S. Patent 645,576 in effect recognizing him as the inventor of radio.

Bet he was good with the ladies: "Wanna go to my lab and check out my death ray??"
