Not every famous and rich celebrity was born in a wealthy environment. Beyond the glamorous and glitzy threads, there are touching stories of celebrities who faced poverty and trauma before hitting it big. Shania Twain’s childhood was no fairy tale. She was born and raised in a remote and impoverished home in Ontario, Canada. She lost her parents in a car accident and ended up, mistreated at the hands of an abusive stepfather.
She discovered her voice at three and started singing at eight. At that age, Shania used her voice to earn cash for a family of five including his stepfather. Money was the constant problem in her family and Shania was their only ticket to a better life. The singer recalls that she spent most days hungry because her parents couldn’t afford to feed the entire family.
Music became an escape that helped her cope with the difficulties at home and the sadness in her life. Twain is a lot of things to a lot of people: a rockstar, pop queen, sentimentalist, and country artist. women want to be like her while men adore her and her compelling voice makes us love her more.
Twain’s fortune changed when she started singing with over 80 million albums sold around the world. She is not that hungry and fearful looking girl, but a wealthy lady with over $350 million.
