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.

Kelsey Grammer—Today
Grammer has certainly attained the high life after his tragic beginnings. The five-time Emmy winner got his break in 1982 with his role as Dr. Frasier Crane on TV’s Cheers, which he parlayed into an equally successful stint on Frasier (1993-2004). He’s gone on to more success as a producer and actor on shows such as Hank (2009), Medium (2005), and Boss (2011). Today, Grammer is said to be worth $120 million—though ex-wife Camille Grammer is said to be receiving $50 million of it in a divorce settlement.
