Howard Hughes

Howard Robard Hughes Jr., born on December 24th, 1905, Humble, Texas, U.S, was a business magnate, investor, record-setting pilot, engineer, film director, and philanthropist, known during his lifetime as one of the richest men in the world. Hughes first rose to fame as a movie producer then as an influential figure in the aviation industry. Howard became known for a reclusive lifestyle, exhibiting eccentric behavior later in his life, partly due to a worsening obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), chronic pain from a near-fatal plane crash and increasing deafness.
