Arnold Schwarzenegger
The ‘Terminator’ star, 75, lived in poverty as a kid in post Second World War Austria before getting into bodybuilding aged 15 and embarking on a journey that saw him being crowned Mr. Universe and become one of the biggest action stars in Hollywood.
In 1997, he said: "I was poor, because I didn't have anything. I had no money, I had no things, we had no TV, we had no refrigerator. We had nothing as kids."
