Julius Ceasar
When kidnapped by a band of pirates in his 20's, he quibbled with them over his ransom price. They were asking for 20 talents of gold, a sizable sum, he insisted that they ask for 50.
He was also the first Roman leader to print his own bust on a Roman minted coin and when he reformed the Roman calendar to contain 365 days with 12 months, he included his own name among them, July.
