Genius Inventors Who Died Incredibly Poor

It's possible to be a genius and still do stupid things. Things like forget to save your money, or leave your priceless invention out where someone else can steal it. Or even do everything right but forget to take out a patent. These are just some of the bad things that can happen to smart people, even if they created things that you use every day. That includes the guy who made it possible for you to watch this video: Philo Farnsworth. Never heard of him? Well, that's exactly our point.
