Charlie Chaplin
Chaplin was born in England on April 16, 1889. His youth was marked by poverty and hardship. His father deserted him, and his mother developed mental illnesses and was sent to a mental institution. He was left alone with his brother Sydney, who was suffering from depression as a result of their poverty. At a young age, he used to act on stage throughout his school days. He also joined a clog dance company to supplement his income.
By the age of 13, he had self-dropped out of school without alerting his mother. He worked a variety of jobs in order to support himself and pursue his ambition of becoming an actor. Despite all of these setbacks, he never loses trust in his ability to succeed. He becomes a hugely successful international actor. Now he is a modern-day perfectionist who can achieve everything in his films. With a net worth of $400 million, he died in 1977 as one of history’s wealthiest persons.
