Where is Michael Jackson
I think Steve Jobs had a rough childhood but I don't care enough to Google it. However, on the premise it's true, based on wealth gained he should have been #1.
Poverty is no joke. What's worse is that people in first world countries don't think it could be a way of life in their country. Let's look at the US, my home. In the northeast and southwest, most of you foreigners assume that all Americans are like that, not considering that the south, midwest, and northwest might be living in poverty.
number 1 should be sylvester stallone
So basically every rapper
Where is logic, he witnessed his mother and sisters getting raped, he was kidnapped, his brother sold crack to his father…. wtfddf

Hey, even the greatest of us all have to start off somewhere, especially if that place happens to be in the gutter. An for those people, it couldn't be any further from the truth than it already is, man! I offer my congratulations and tip my hat off to them for their strong rise to fame!
