We live in a time where you don’t need to have rich parents to become part of the world’s elite. Today, a talented student can wake up famous after the launch of a startup and an ordinary entrepreneur can make a fortune on a reality show about their life. Of course, the lives and the way people look before and after they become famous are very different.
We have found some early photos of billionaires everyone knows today.
So scroll down to look at these billionaires who were very different people at the start of their careers.
