Yeah, but he made his first million off the Popeil Pocket Fisherman, a compact fishing rod (that worked really well - I had one as a kid.) He also had the device that cut glass bottles into drinking glasses, the five-tray food dehydrator, the Popeil Pasta Make and dozens more...

He practically invented the infomercial and is the founder of Ronco
