    Tesla was a world-famous inventor who demonstrated seemingly miraculous inventions, but spent much of his money from patents on experiments. While he made a great deal early on, living in hotels in New York City, later bankruptcy led to diminished circumstances. He continued announcing new inventions to the press at birthday parties and gained a reputation as an eccentric "mad scientist," dying alone in a New York hotel room in 1943.

    Tesla's achievements and his abilities as a showman demonstrating his seemingly miraculous inventions made him world-famous.

    [7] Although he made a great deal of money from his patents, he spent a lot on numerous experiments. He lived for most of his life in a series of New York hotels although the end of his patent income and eventual bankruptcy led him to live in diminished circumstances.[8] Tesla still continued to invite the press to parties he held on his birthday to announce new inventions he was working and make (sometimes unusual) statements.[9][10] Because of his pronouncements and the nature of his work over the years, Tesla gained a reputation in popular culture as the archetypal "mad scientist".[11] He died in room 3327 of the New Yorker Hotel on 7 January 1943.
