By just about any standard Paris Hilton is more successful. Tesla may
have been pretty smart but virtually everything he tried to do,
failed.

Financially, yes ... technically the guy was beyond genius ... which is
likely why he failed financially.

He literally knew just enough to be dangerous.
One of the schemes that drove him into bankruptcy was trying to "beam"
usable electrical power into homes with a megawatt transmitter and an
antenna on your roof.

Modern day experiments have proved his concept to be viable and
technically achievable.

He was a space shot, no question, but without him we'd have waited much
longer for induction motors and the distribution of AC power. If Edison
had his way, we'd be working off a horrible DC distribution system.

Gregg admires Paris Hilton more because she made a lot more money than
Tesla. Paris Hilton also makes a lot more money than Jonas Salk ever
did, and assuredly more than Albert Einstein ever made.

I sometimes admire Paris Hilton but not for her money.

Albert is one of the highest grossing dead people!
