* Sean Flynn, son of movie actor Errol Flynn, took photos of the Vietnam War for Time Magazine, GoingForTheBigScoop. He disappeared (and was apparently killed) while traveling by motorcycle in Cambodia some time around 1970. Flynn wasn't in Vietnam because he needed the money, and, according to Michael Herr in "Dispatches," none of the press corp respected him until they actually saw the photos he was taking. He occasionally left Vietnam to star in motion pictures, then returned to get shot at some more.

Although he takes his kingly duties seriously, AQUAMAN actively looks for various adventures, and spends all his time ''not'' adventuring by boisterously recounting his various exploits to whoever happens to be standing next to him - complete with Hardy Boys-esque titles.

A DeadHorseTrope which used to be common in adventure, mystery, and espionage fiction where the hero was an independently wealthy (or at least doesn't do much work for a living) "gentleman of leisure" whose adventures were initially motivated by a [[InHarmsWay lust for adventure]], even if the character ultimately acted for heroic/patriotic motives. It seems probable that the RichIdiotWithNoDayJob is an outgrowth of this character type. Has some overlap with the AdventurerArchaeologist. Often ends up a CoolOldGuy. His DistaffCounterpart is the LadyOfAdventure.
