Oprah Winfrey
The famous self-made billionaire is also on this list by merit. She is often at the top of every Hollywood invitation list and is a success in her own right. However, life was not always this glamorous for her. She was born into poverty by teenage parents. Not long after she was born, she had to start living with her grandparents because her parents split up. She was raped by numerous of her family members at the tender age of 14.

By the time she moved to live with her father, she discovered that she was pregnant. She gave birth to a premature little boy who could not survive and died after two weeks. These events could have affected her and make her drop her head in shame and sadness. However, she chose to let go of her past and focus on her future.
She concentrated on her studies and did not allow her past to get the best of her. Winfrey buckled down and got good grades in school. She eventually rose to the top because she chose to look on the bright side. She rewrote her story, and we are glad she did because her story has inspired many people today.
