>Channeling Ed Wood as a past life.
I don't know if Ed Wood's well enough known for Iconomancy, but (this is a thought that just occured to me) how about Bela Lugosi? (I think he'd make the 100 million mark, but I"m not certain)
The beauty of using Lugosi is that his portrayal of Dracula has influenced the American mindset in reference to vampires so much that the book Dracula and any actual vampire legends bear little resemblance to what most people think about vampires. Thus, you could have a couple Iconomancers channeling Lugosi and behaving like stereotypical vampires (only go out at night, talking with a bad eastern accent, wearing tuxedos, etc) but have a twist ending, when they find they're just normal people who can do some weird stuff by acting like weirdos. Kind of a half way Scooby Doo ending.
