Michael Jackson is known as the King of Pop, but did you know he was also an inventor? Although he made most of his dance moves through talent and practice, when he and fellow dancers leaned at a 45 degree angle, they were wearing special shoes Michael created. Michael patented the special shoes as Patent 5,255,452, Method and means for creating anti-gravity illusion.
Michael is not the only celebrity who has a patent. Wikipedia has an A-Z list of celebrity patent holders including Hedy Lamar for her Patent 2,292,387, Secret communication system, which is the basis for modern wireless communication systems such as cordless telephones and WiFi Internet connections.
