Edward Steichen, JP Morgan (1903).
Like other rich douchebags, Morgan paid $300 (adjusting for inflation, about $7k today) to get out of serving in the Civil War. A war in which he made a fortune buying old rifles from the government for $3.50 each, retooling them, and then selling them back to the government for $22 each.
