Did Nikola Tesla become rich

Tesla was completely penniless for the last couple decades of his life. He was far more interested in advancing science and technology than making money. For example, in order to make it possible for George Westinghouse to continue to get financial backing for an AC electrical distribution system, Tesla agreed to forego patent payments that were, by all legal rights, his own.
