Timothy Dexter
Timothy Dexter (January 22, 1747 – October 23, 1806) (self-styled Lord Timothy Dexter) was an American businessman noted for his eccentric behavior and writings. He became wealthy through marriage and a series of improbably successful investments, and spent his fortune lavishly. Though barely educated or literate, Dexter considered himself "the greatest philosopher in the known world", and authored a book, ''A Pickle for the Knowing Ones'', which espouses his views on various topics and became notorious for its unusual misspellings and grammatical errors.
