Think again. Before Leonardo rose to fame, he had quite a difficult life. As a kid, he was poor and used to live in the mean streets of Los Angeles. He was constantly surrounded by drugs and prostitution, but he didn\u2019t let that get in the way of his dreams. Even though his youth was overrun by violence and crime everywhere, he sought acting as an escape and look where it got him.<strong> With the net worth of $245 million<\/strong>, he\u00a0is the one of the most respected actors of Hollywood.<\/p>\n<h1>11.

Our childhoods would have been pretty boring without this genius man. Walt Disney was raised in a farm and barely was able to make money. He started off drawing pictures to sell to his neighbors. In one phase of his life, he was jobless and no one would hire him, his brother at that time helped him get a job. He went from rags to riches, <strong>from drawing pictures to animating his own cartoons<\/strong>. His net worth at the time of his death was <strong>$80 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h1>10.

SRK\u2019s family did not have enough money even to take him to the theater (Now he\u2019s seen in theaters all around the world. Irony.). He slept on streets and had to support himself on his own. His parents died early which resulted his sister to be admitted in a mental hospital. But to think that the same person, escaped the chaos and went to pursue a career that was as hard as impossible. His success came from his struggles and the urge to improve. <strong>SRK\u2019s net worth today is $600 million.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h1>9.

In his early childhood, he failed Primary School exams twice, middle-school exams thrice, and failed entrance exams for universities thrice. He wrote to Harvard University ten times and got reject every single time. After his Bachelors, he applied for different jobs and got rejected 30 times. When KFC first came into town, 24 people applied for it and 23 people were accepted, he was the only one to be rejected. But his rags-to-riches story is now a sensational one. Now he is known as the founder of E-commerce store Alibaba, whose value is more than Facebook and process goods more than eBay and Amazon combined!<strong> Net worth: $30.8 billion<\/strong><\/p>\n<h1>8.

When the name Ronaldo comes up, we think about a world class rich soccer player however it wasn\u2019t always like this. Cristiano grew up in a tin roofed house as his fathers worked as a gardener with his blood sweat &amp; tears. Eventually his father started drinking which costed\u00a0him his life in 2005. Her mother being responsible for feeding her children started working as a cook and cleaning person.

He never got to know his father and so, his mother raised him. A poor lifestyle where his mother couldn\u2019t stay on a job for more than some months and for that reason, he had to change schools frequently. He was bullied violently in schools.

When he successfully established the company, he was kicked out of his own company.
