Life isn't always easy, but it gets better, that's one thing that's
sure. We've decided to look beyond all the money, glamour and fame and
see how 10 celebrities grew up, in different tough ways. Click on the
pics for inspiration (EVERYONE can do it, as long as you believe in
yourself!), and read everything about stars such as Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Mariah Carey
grew up in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Long Island, in near
poverty. Lack of any toys or other fun things to do, she found her own
"fun" by doing things like poisoning her dog and setting her parents'
car on fire. Later, she moved to NYC to try her luck. She met a Columbia
Records exec by coincidence at a party, and not very long after that
she was introduced to the world.
Yeah, you may curse his name now, but a few years ago Justin Bieber
was nearly miserably poor. According to Bieber himself, before becoming
famous he grew up in a rat-infested home with an empty fridge. He had
to sleep on a pull-out couch and lived off a diet consisting mostly of
macaroni and cheese. Today, he's worth around $65 million.
Halle Berry
is known as an Oscar-winning actress and international beauty, but she
didn?t always live the high life. Early in her career, Berry moved to
NYC to pursue her dream as a model and actress. Berry, while trying to
find work in New York, stayed in a homeless shelter. At the age of 21,
this star never gave up and had no financial help from her parents. Now,
she's a multiple award winner and an unforgettable talent!
Like a lot of famous rappers, Snoop grew up
in squalor. In his early days selling drugs was everything he had. But
after a few short stints in jail, Snoop started making tapes with his
friend who just so happened to be the step brother of Dr. Dre.
Today, Jay-Z
is the leader of a real financial empire, but he grew up in a family
where even bread was a luxury item. Ever since he was a child he got
used to violence and to lack of money, but through ambition he managed
to become one of the richest men in the world!
Mark Walhberg dropped out of school at the
age of 14 and went to work as a street thug. After a couple years of bad
actions: making drug deals and getting high, he was convicted of
assaulting two men and sentenced to 50 days in prison. After that his
older brother Donnie helped him out and got him a record deal! And yea,
you know the rest of the story...
Leonardo DiCaprio
grew up in Hollywood surrounded by drug dealers and prostitution. But:
despite these unhappy surroundings, Leo skipped out on the "low road"
and found himself landing acting gigs that helped him to the very top of
the Hollywood A-list!
As a child, Demi Moore
spent part of her years in a trailer park, and had the misfortune of
having an abusive father who spent his days drinking instead of working.
But she just couldn't take that living situation, so she dropped out of
school and moved to Hollywood at age 16.
Before J.K. Rowling started writing the Harry
Potter series, she was struggling as a single mother living off of
welfare. As the story goes, Rowling had a four-hour delayed train trip
to thank for her wealth. Apparently, while waiting for the train, the
idea of a young boy attending wizard school appeared in her head. Now
she?s one of the richest celebrities in England (reportedly worth over
$1 BILLION).

When Jim Carrey
was in high school, he was living out of a camper van with the rest of
his family, and worked full shifts at a tire factory. But Carrey dropped
out of school at 16 and moved to LA to make it big in Hollywood. The
young Jim happened to catch the eye of Rodney Dangerfield and now he's
one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood.
