15 filthy rich celebrities who were once homeless (With Pictures)

12. Jewel

Now worth around $30 million, Jewel was once penniless and homeless. The singer-songwriter grew up in a small house in Alaska where her and her father had no indoor plumbing. After that, she also lived in a van for sometime, desperate to make ends meet while she tried to make her singing career work out. When her breakout hit “Who Will Save Your Soul” hit the charts in the 1990s, Jewel knew she had finally made it. Millions of albums later, the singer has a lovely home with her husband and her son. She’s even published an autobiography and a poetry book. Jewel is the very pinnacle of success in the face of adversity!
