The first five-star admirals were Admirals Leahy, King, and Nimitz. Bill Halsey got his fifth star in December, 1945.
Did he actually do anything to deserve that fifth star, other than having a crackerjack public relations team?
I think it's fair to say that the Allies racked up some big victories in the South Pacific and Philippines under Halsey's command. Leyte Gulf alone was a massive battle and really important for the Allies. But I'm not an expert on naval warfare or the Pacific Theater, so there are much better people to ask about that than me.

when halsey said ‘From a tender age i was cursed with rage’ then ethel cain said ‘I am the face of love’s rage’ then florence welch said ‘Waiting for you side of stage, suppressing all my private rage’ & then hayley williams said ‘rage is a quiet thing. well, you think that you’ve tamed it but it’s just lying in wait’.

When I was reading the book on distinguished American Naval Commanders (either that, or another book on distinguished admirals of the world) on Internet Archive, and there is a chapter on Halsey, and on the portrait page of Halsey there's this doodle on the bottom of the page 😂😅😭😅🙈

"As a bird swoops down on it's prey, and assumes this land bound wretch into heaven, so did Romeo steal her lips before they fled him again. Suspended somewhere between cherubs and devils, his quarry ceased to buck, and he spread his wings wide and let the rising wind carry them off across the sky, until even the predator himself had lost every hope of returning home. Within that one embrace, [he] became aware of a feeling of certainty he had not thought possible for anyone - even the virtuous. With her in his arms, all other women, past, present, and future, simply ceased to exist."
- Anne Fortier, Juliet
