Tesla may not have had money but he was taken care of. Westinghouse was  
paying his bill.
 
As for him be remembered only people involved with power and distribution  of 
power and hobbyist are even aware of his name.
 
Guglielmo Marconi gets lions share of credit for radio and Edison get lions  
share of credit when the only thing Edison contributed to electrical power is  
the light bulb. Even DC is disappearing with the advent of frequency  drives.
 
Another example of people not getting credit is Hedy Lamarr, the  actress 
whose invention is used daily for cell phones.
