One of the most obvious examples of this is the Howard
Hughes fortune, which came from the patent of the double
cone bit, which made oil drilling a reality in Texas.
It was not Howard Hughes' (Sr.) invention at all, and in
fact designs similar to his had been floating around for
some time. But he had the savvy (he had attended Harvard
Law School for a while) to know that whoever holds the
patents gets the monies, so he patented it, and got
rich. Of course, his son became more (in)famous and
even richer.
