Being rich is what every human on this planet dreams about. This is because people are under the impression that rich people have an easy life and that they can have anything they want. Well, to be honest, that is true, but there are some situations when this rule does not apply. Many rich people have not always been rich. They were born poor and they worked very hard to get were they are today. With ambition, talent, perseverance and a little bit of luck, they managed to become rich people and to have an immense success.

Examples to illustrate this fact there are many. One of the most relevant cases of rich people who were born poor is Roman Abramovich, a billionaire who is also known as the titan of oil and aluminum. He became an orphan when he was only 4 years old and he was raised by his relatives. He did not have an easy life, but by 2005 he became on the most rich people in the world. Another example of rich people born poor is the international superstar Oprah Winfrey. She is the queen of daytime talk-shows, but prior to becoming a celebrity she had a rough time. Oprah was born by a teen mother and she was raised at a farm, by her grandmother. As a child, she was a victim of sexual abuse, but that only made her stronger, as she is now one the most powerful and rich people in the world. J.K.Rowling is also part of the rich people born poor. Although the Harry Potter books and movies are extremely popular, prior to their success Rowling confessed that she was broke and depressed and that she even contemplated suicide.

Other rich people born poor are Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple, Li Ka-shing, the executive of two Chinese conglomerates, Micky Jagtiani, the creator of Landmark, Larry Ellison, the founder of Oracle software, and John Paul DeJoria, the co-founder of the Paul Mitchell brand. As you can see, there are many billionaires who were born poor, but they worked hard and they made their way to the top. Now they are considered very rich people and they have fortunes that ordinary people only dare to dream about.
