2. Lil’ Kim
This rapper’s early life was plagued by abuse and poverty before her mother left her abusive father when she was nine-years-old. When her mother left her abusive father, it left both of them with no roof over their heads. “There was a time when my mother and I were living out of the trunk of her car,” the rapper has said. Things didn’t fare better when she was put in her father’s custody – she ran away and spent time living either with a series of boyfriends or on the streets. But being discovered by up-and-coming rapper Biggie Smalls, also called the Notorious B.I.G., changed all that. Now the 41-year-old is worth $18 million.
