5. Puff Daddy
Sean “Puffy” Combs, Puff Daddy, P. Diddy … we know him by many names and just as many roles. He’s a rapper, a producer, and an entrepreneur. It’s hard to believe it, but one of the most famous rappers in the world was once living in the projects in Harlem. His mother was a struggling model and his father was murdered when he was about five years old. However, he and his mom later moved to Mount Vernon where they finally had enough money to send him not only to a private Catholic School, but also to college. But for several of Combs’ formative years, he and his mother were incredibly poor. Rumor has it, Combs is worth about $500 million now after several platinum albums, his own clothing line, and producing a variety of other rappers in his production company, Bad Boy Entertainment.
