CELEBRITY COLLECTORS

In the "just for fun" category, let's compile the E-Sylum list of past and present celebrity numismatists - not famous collectors, but famous people who collect. These are people who are (or were) famous in their own right and generally known to the population at large. Examples would include actors, sports figures, authors, political figures, etc. In the world of philately, for instance, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was known to be a stamp collector. So who are the brightest stars to grace the numismatic stage? Send me your nominations and I'll compile a list.
