Many did, including some of the most widely recognized people of the time; however, the person's 2 or 3 most favorite celebs weren't among them. It was still a notable accomplishment.
I once wrote a check for something like 30 billion dollars to a friend during college. She never tried to cash it, thankfully. I wouldn't be able to handle the bounced check fees. We were all amused.
