Not everyone was blessed with good fortune from birth. Before becoming wealthy, rich men had to endure every adversity and strive through every challenge. The same is true of famous people. Many famous people have been putting in a lot of effort to succeed. Many of us find it difficult to comprehend the extraordinary journey of people who rose from nothing to become famous figures. When someone has been going on red carpets, collecting checks, and munching on avocado toast for years, we tend to remember them for their glory days. They are even viewed by others as being solely dependent on luck.

Tom Cruise

He was undoubtedly one of the busiest and most prosperous Hollywood actors of his era. Additionally, Cruise has to have a very early habit of working. I've always had a work ethic, the star said. I've worked since I was around eight years old, doing things like raking leaves, folding paper, and selling Christmas and Easter cards, he continued.

The 60-year-old has undoubtedly paid a price for his success by working in charity. That involves raising money for a children's charity and giving to an impoverished rural community in Africa.

Cameron Diaz

The 49-year-old actress claimed that despite having "great parents" and a content childhood, she had a difficult upbringing. We are not fortunate, rather the opposite, she explains. My family will gather Coke cans so that we can sell them and get extra money.

Diaz also stated that her upbringing has continued to affect her way of living. I come from a thrifty upbringing, therefore I won't just toss my money away, she declared. But Cameron is willing to assist those who are in need. The actress has participated in numerous charitable activities and even established her own fund, Starting Today for Tomorrow, in 2001 to promote a variety of causes.

Jim Carrey

Jim Carrey, who is one of the most influential comedians in Hollywood, also faced a difficult childhood. His family lost their home and had to live in a van. Young Jim had to drop out of school at the age of 15 to help support his family.

And though he hasn’t opened up about his charity work, Carrey is known for backing a list of foundations. And in 2005, he founded a foundation of his own, named “Better U Foundation”.

Demi Moore

Demi Moore had a complicated childhood and her mother struggled to make ends meet. he explained, “We weren’t dirt poor, but we didn’t have a lot of money.” She noted, “I entered this career with no background or connection to acting. I had so little, I had nothing to lose and everything to gain.”

Demi has always given her all to her charitable endeavors, and she has received recognition for her commitment to using her organization to fight human trafficking.

Mila Kunis

The 38 year old actress, moved to the US with her family when she was a little child. She mentioned that their standard dinner is "ketchup soup. Ashton Kutcher, an actor who also hails from a less fortunate upbringing, is Kunis' husband. She added, "we are both highly self-sufficient and very well aware of the worth of a dollar," and that they were careful not to splurge just because they had the money.

The actress, who became successful in Hollywood, now utilizes her influence to aid charities and those in need. For instance, she accepted a position as a global brand ambassador for a business that engages in ethical mining in Africa.

Chris Pratt

At the beginning of his career, the actor had to rely on food stamps because his family occasionally faced financial troubles. As he recalled his early years, Pratt said, "We had some difficult financial times, and I'm not ashamed to say that there were times when my family needed to eat from a food bank. There's nothing wrong with requiring such aid, he continued.

The actor is now committed to battle the famine and make amends. He gave $10k to a food bank in 2021.
