Well, George Westinghouse was a strict capitalist, and was the one who gave
him the job in the first place. While he did indeed profit immeasurably
from the work of Nikola Tesla, the relative levels of fame and wealth
possessed by Mr. Tesla at the time of his death were not the responsibility
of Mr. Westinghouse.

If you don't count Tesla letting Westinghouse off the hook.

The agreements between Westinghouse and Tesla called for the
businessman to pay the inventor a royalty of two dollars and fifty
cents - for every horsepower of AC equipment sold. Even a century ago,
the royalties would be enough to make Tesla one of the wealthiest men
in the world. (Were such royalties to be paid on equipment in use
today, the royalties on AC generators alone would be worth more than
seven and a half billion dollars.)
