John Eleuthère duPont
                                        
John Eleuthère duPont (1938-2010) was an American billionaire and member of the prominent du Pont family. In 1997, DuPont was convicted of murdering Olympic Gold Medalist wrestler Dave Schultz the year before and sentenced to 13 to 40 years in prison. Among his interests was a passion for stamp collecting. He died in prison on December 9, 2010. In a 1980 auction he paid $935,000 for one of the rarest stamps in the world, the British Guiana 1856 1c black on magenta pictured above. This stamp is set to be worth 5 - 6 million dollars now. His estate is still in possession of the stamp.
