The stars of cinema and show business, who have made millions of fortunes, enjoy life. Many of them live in luxurious, expensive mansions, in which it is easy to get lost with no habit. But not all famous people were born rich.

Here are ten successful and famous people who were once poor and homeless.

10. Hilary Swank

In adolescence, the actress moved to California, along with her mother, and at first they had to live in a trailer. Thanks to her hard work and acting talents, Swank received two Academy Award. And she, the owner of the 40 millionth fortune, is unlikely to spend the night in a car.

9. Steve Harvey

The popular comedian Steve Harvey in an interview with People Magazine said that at the beginning of his career (in the late 1980s) one or two concerts failed, and he suddenly turned out to be homeless. Harvey lived in his Ford Tempo for three years until he received an invitation to star in the It’s Showtime at the Apollo series.

8. Jennifer Lopez

At 18, the beautiful Jay Law left home. She wanted to become a ballerina, and her mother wanted her daughter to go to college. The rebellious Lopez had to sleep on the couch in a dance studio. Now she is one of the most successful singers (more than 55 million albums sold).

7. Jewel Kilcher (Jewel)

This American singer recorded her debut album Pieces of You when she was 19 years old. Once the boss suggested Jewel to sleep with him, and having been refused, he did not give the girl her check. Because of this, she could not pay the rented housing and was forced to live in a car for a month. Subsequently, Jewel recalled that she nearly died in the emergency room because she did not have insurance and the doctors did not want to take it. But such trials did not break the future celebrity, and the path “from dirt to jewelry” was successfully completed.

6. Christopher Gardner

The millionaire’s childhood was marked by poverty, domestic violence, alcoholism, and illiteracy. Already being an adult, he, along with his young son, lived on the street. At that time, Gardner was trying to make a career in finance, despite the lack of any experience. Today, he is the CEO of Gardner Rich & Co LLC and has released two best-selling books under his own name. Based on Christopher Gardner’s autobiography, the film “Pursuit of Happiness” was filmed. The main role in it was played by Will Smith.

5. Daniel Craig

Before playing the role of agent 007, Craig had to master the role of the homeless. The inhabitants of London homeless shelters for homeless people would know that the future James Bond is sleeping next to them.

4. Seuss Orman

Susse Orman, financial adviser, motivational speaker and TV presenter, spent four months in the van. That was in 1973. However, difficult times did not harden her heart. In the book “9 Steps to Financial Freedom,” Orman said that she donated money to charity when she herself did not have enough money for a living.

3. Dr. Phil McGraw

When America's most famous psychologist Phil McGraw was 12 years old, he lived in a car with his father, who had an internship in Kansas City as a psychologist.

2. Holly Berry

Deciding to become an actress, Holly Berry moved to Chicago. Once, when she had no money, her mother did not help her and the future Storm from People-X had to stay in a shelter for the homeless for some time.

1. Jim Carrey

Headed the list of homeless stars with the inimitable “Mask”. When Jim was 12 years old, his father lost his job, and this sensitively hit the budget of a family of 6 people. Later, the actor recalled that "it was a really traumatic blow to the stomach." To financially help his family, after school he had to work at an enterprise that produced steel rims and tires. For a while, the Kerry family lived in a camper van.

But don't be too sorry for Jim. In 1996, he was the first comedian to receive $ 20 million for the movie The Cable Guy. In addition, this world famous comedian once admitted that difficult times helped him develop a sense of humor.
