Tesla thought that chastity enhanced his success, so he never had any relationships. Later in the life, he apparently said he fell in love with a pigeon in New York City. Weird…

Earhart was always independent and wanted a prenup when she got engaged to George Putnam. Part of it read, “I shall not hold you to a medieval code of faithfulness to me, nor shall I consider myself bound to you similarly.”

12. King Henry VIII of England
