From an extremely young age, Howard Hughes’ eccentricities began showing themselves. From his childhood inventions like a homemade motorcycle, to his willingness to spend obscene amounts of money on anything he was passionate about, like his movie Hell’s Angels, it seemed like Howard Hughes was consistently trying to one up himself, but never content to do the same thing for too long, eventually becoming bored before moving to the next thing, a characteristic shared by his father, Howard Hughes Sr. But where the two men differed was just how successful they would become, with the younger Hughes going on to become one of the wealthiest men in the world, but not without a cost. Many of the characteristics that made the general public think of him fondly as an eccentric billionaire would end up costing him extreme amounts of money, and cost others their lives, leading to him spending the final decade of his life a recluse from society.
