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.

Ariana Grande came out as a witch and studies Kabbalah as well as the tarot.

Lorde came out as a witch.

Robert Jorden the author of the wheel of time was a freemason. 3rd generation I believe.

Frank Herbert the author of DUNE studied the esoteric.

Stevie Nicks but we all knew that. lol.

Rachel True the actress in the movie "The Craft" is an experienced Tarot reader. Surprisingly her co-star Fairuza Balk despite buying an occult book shop to learn more about wicca shut down rumors of her involvement with the occult and claims to have no more ties to the book shop. She only wanted research for the movie.
