Nikola Tesla is responsible for some of the greatest technological advancements our world has seen. But creations like AC electricity and wireless technology weren’t enough to keep his pockets lined before he died. Thomas Edison didn’t help with that either.
Edison offered Tesla 50,000 dollars in exchange for his works on currents but backed out of that deal. Mix that in with Tesla’s inability to make wise business relationships, he ended up forced to live in a hotel. Tesla died in 1943 with no money.
