This Guy Got Screwed!
Elad and I recently got into a discussion about the wonderful "George Foreman Grill" and how Foreman must be a rich man right about now because of it.But this guy (in the picture) is the real inventor of the "Short Order Grill" and only gets a "modest semimonthly paycheck." So Foreman wasn't the inventor? And he actually is making 40% of the profits, just because he is the face of the company.
Doesn't something seem wrong here? I guess the sales wouldn't be so high without Foreman? Who knows? But this guy definitely deserves more.
Check out "I Invented the George Foreman Grill" for this man's story, and other less-known inventor's stories who get zero credit for huge inventions.
