Rags to Riches: Snakkle Reveals 13 Celebrities Who Went from Poor to Posh
If the Real Housewives have taught us anything, it’s that big dreams and Botox are as ubiquitous in Beverly Hills as a lost tourist looking for the Hollywood sign. But not everyone in Tinseltown has lived the luxurious life since birth. In fact, some of our favorite tabloid residents of Malibu and Bel Air came from humble beginnings, calling home to shelters, trailer parks, and even the back of a car.

William Shatner—Today
After the Star Trek series ended, Shatner went on to star in T.J. Hooker from 1982 to 1986 and in the six successful film follow-ups to the Star Trek TV show. Today, he is worth a whopping $300 million. The former Priceline Negotiator was said to have made a $600 million deal to be the company’s spokesperson, but Shatner denied it on Twitter, tweeting “Someone stupid said a stupid thing about me making $600M. It ain’t so. Relatives are coming out of the woodwork. Too bad it never happened.”
