Thurston Howell III was the name of a character on the 1960s television show Gilligan's Island. Howell, played by Jim Backus, was a millionaire known for tireless buying and selling, an incongruous fixation for a man stranded on an island.
There is also a rap artist called Thirstin Howl III whose stage persona emulates the cash-flush Gilligan's millionaire.
