The fact that you can't name them does not mean they didn't get recognized and/or wealthy for their inventions.

- Consultant32452 7y agoIt's not my understanding that most inventors are recognized and/or wealthy. I feel like the cultural references we know are the exceptions that prove the rule. Edison, for example, is credited with inventing the light bulb. He was definitely wealthy, but there were a number of other inventors who contributed but have little to no recognition and did not become wealthy.
