Hi guys,

I'd like to get the names of some well-known people who started out poor/middle class but have become wealthy. I'm taking Fox's course from his Web School and in one section he says it is a good idea to think of a person who became successful and preferably started out in a similar place as you. This way you can draw some motivation from them.

Prior to this, I liked to read bios of wealthy/famous people and I liked to read about their backgrounds. Things like where they were born, their education, their family and family dynamics, people they met, jobs they held, their processes leading up to their success, and so on. I think this stuff is interesting and it gives you insight into the ways people find success, especially if they didn't come from a wealthy background.

Who are some well-known people that fit this criterion?
