Tesla was Edison's enemy, Mark Twain's friend and J.P Morgan's client. Tesla made his first million before he was 40, yet gave up the royalties on his induction motor invention as a gesture of friendship to George Westinghouse and died almost in poverty. Handsome, magnetic and elegant he was the "catch" of New York society. A lifelong bachelor, he led a somewhat isolated existence, devoting his full energy to science.

Nikola Tesla's primary rival and enemy in the world of science and technology was Thomas Edison. The two had differing views on electrical systems and engaged in a famous battle known as the "War of Currents" over whether AC or DC technology would prevail in the development of electrical infrastructure. Tesla's innovations in AC power transmission ultimately proved to be more successful than Edison's DC system.
