John F. Kennedy 35th president (feb 18, 1917 – may 24, 1963)
Description:
JFK received $1 million on his 21st birthday (all nine brothers and sisters got the same), but that generosity did not extend to the Harvard recommendation letter his father wrote for him. He wrote that Jack was “careless and lacks application.” He got in anyway.
