Through extraordinary grit and perseverance, individuals across the globe have beat the odds and achieved their own rags-to-riches stories. Although some of the world’s billionaires became wealthy through riches passed down from generations, and some were able to multiply family inheritances into billions, however, there are those who had nothing passed down to them or no inheritances to multiply but simply big dreams they have been able to turn into extraordinary realities today.
