    He was definitely a celebrity.  I'm pretty sure he invented more things than anyone else in the world.  This includes those flipper thinks scubadivers wear on their feet.

      It is true that he was also an inventor.  In 1752, Benjamin Franklin made one of the earliest demonstrations of electricity. By flying a specially rigged kite during a thunderstorm.  Franklin was able to attract an electric charge from the atmosphere. He used this experiment to invent the lightning rod, which has since saved many homes.
