It looks like some people have it all in life: power, fame, influence, and money while most of us, everyday people, often look up to them and dream about becoming just like them. What would you say though if we told you that some of the most famous celebrities and successful people out there struggled way more than your average Joe and had to deal with poverty and homelessness the same way “everyday” people do? On this list you will read about 25 rich and famous people that give new meaning to the saying “Everything comes with a price,” and who used their struggles in life as their main inspiration to achieve their greatest goals.
25. Jimm Morrison
There are so many stories and rumors about the legendary frontman of the Doors that we can’t be sure where the truth begins and ends. However, some things about one of the greatest poets and rock stars in music history are undoubtedly true such as him being homeless when he was still struggling with his music and writing career.
Most of his fans will tell you how Jim lived during his short but great career in a cheap hotel on La Cienega Boulevard in Los Angeles, but not many know that before Morrison made it big he used to be homeless and slept in just about anyplace you can literally imagine. Rumors has it that he even spent quite a few nights under the pier at Venice Beach.
24 Hilary Swank
The “Million Dollar Baby” from Nebraska is one of Hollywood’s and this generation’s most talented actresses with an estimated net worth of $40 million, two Academy Awards for Best Actress in a leading role under her belt, and a luxurious home in the mecca of the movie industry.
Back in the early ’90s, however, when she and her mother moved to Los Angeles and before Hillary started her acting career, they had to sleep in the car.

Sam Worthington went from a homeless actor to megastar overnight, and that’s not even an overstatement.
