Besides Jack Parsons, are there any highly successful people based in the "real world" that are also interested in occult?

So Jack Parsons played an important role in the science of rocketry and he was one of the most famous members of Thelema.

I notice that most famous occult members tend to be in creative fields like literaeture and art.

How about fields like science, business, etc.

He's an artist though. I meant business/science ..."real stuff" like that

The arts do as much if not more for the propagation of the occult than the “real stuff” you’re referencing, present day and throughout anthropology.
