Anyone else feel sorry for Hughes?

All that money, and yet he was never happy.

Yes, and later he had mental problems.
Though I've read somewhere that they exaggerated his quirks to discredit him.
However, Howard Hughes was a genius...that's for sure.

Yes, he seemed like an obsessive, tormented guy.

I don’t think they had the mental health expertise to help guys like him back then.

Pretty impressive guy though, despite whatever illness that was.
