Toward the end of his life, billionaire Howard Hughes was known for storing his urine in bottles.


During Hughes’ later years he was probably best known for the dramatic eccentricities he displayed. He became extremely germophobic, insisting that anything handed to him be wrapped in tissues. A painkiller addict, Hughes also refused to cut his hair or fingernails and wore Kleenex boxes as shoes.

During the last decade of his life he would travel sporadically, working for days without sleep and in complete solitude in darkened hotel rooms. And yes, he used to store his pee in large jars.
