Oprah Winfrey is the living embodiment of the age-old saying "from rags to riches"! Until she was six years old, the presenter lived with her grandmother in poverty because her mother was unemployed. She then lived with her mother until she was fourteen. She moved out shortly after her fourteenth birthday as she was being sexually abused by male relatives, but was forced to sleep on the streets for a short period. Oprah is now one of the richest women in the world!
