I love a particular quote from Howard Hughes........'some people say that I am a paranoid deranged millionaire....Goddamit, I'm a billionaire'

@monkoman100 During the hearings they bugged him in Carlon Hotel. That made him paranoid. But he was morphine then codeine addict after that accident. He used to self inject. I think in that situation money does'nt help you. It allowed him to indulge himself.

A lot of Hughes mental illness was linked to syphilis which he got when he was younger. His OCD was more prominent after his plane crash in 1946, When he recovered from his injuries he locked himself in the screening room for months before he was subpoenaed to show up in front of a committee led by senator Bruster from Maine. Hughes was under investigation because of the planes that the US government paid for but never received. After the hearings Hughes flew the Spruce Goose.

"sat in the dark naked watching movies(I wonder what kind of movies porn??. And he ordered lost of tissue paper..

ima try that sometimes

Isn't it obvious he was hooked on psych meds? They cause all kinds of weird effects. He didn't start out nuts. They made him that way.

I don't blame him for being paranoid. Everyone was after his money, how would he know who his real friends were. He couldn't trust anyone. Read some of the biographies about his life.

It is no accident his fortune went to medical/psychiatric/biochemica­l research.
