Except he never made any money because those with money stole it and since he wasn't wealthy he couldn't stop it from happening.
Later in his life, he went into a deep depression so he froze himself and went to the year 2950 to work at a robot manufacturing company. He quit his job to start a delivery company to fund his private research. In the year 3000, his distant uncle unfroze and started to work at his company as a delivery boy partnered with an alcoholic robot.

Yeah them electrons
it seems that inventions are not always created entirely by one person but are works in progress by different contibutors from different countries. Sometimes people have the idea of combining ideas together? It seems a bit suspect to me that a 14yr old farmer could have 'invented TV', and it seems more likeley that each country would laud their own contributors as THE inventor..... some inventors inventions are methodologies to mass produce a thing, or they invent machines that make machines.

Farming means early to bed, early to rise... dawn to dusk work. Television kept farmers up late at night, leading to the demise of family farms that we see today. Farmers were found sleeping in barns and haystacks across America, and many lost their farms to TV.
