Robert Morris once owned more American real estate than any other person. However, he owed more to his lenders than his land was worth. Despite his innumerable financial contributions to the American Revolution, he was forced into bankruptcy and spent time in debtor's prison. He was eventually released at George Washington's urging and spent the remainder of his life surviving on his wife's annuity and their friend's gifts. There were a few trinkets, but virtually no monetary wealth relative to his estate upon his death.
