Answer:
Since, India is overall a poor country so you will find plenty of stories about these rags to riches billionaires coming from there. Though, I am really not sure as sometimes it is because of the overall development of a country and we as human beings have always had better generations coming in who have lived better than the previous ones comparatively.
There is one story of a similar business tycoon who went from India to London only to become the most richest person in the UK.
Though, I highly doubt it as his father was the founding chairman of JSW Ispat steel which has a revenue well in $1.5 billion as of 2010.
Born to a poor family in the Indian state of Rajasthan in 1950, Mr Mittal established the foundations of his fortune over two decades by doing much of his business in the steel industry equivalent of a discount warehouse.
In 1976, due to the curb of steel production by the Indian government, the 26-year-old Mittal opened his first steel factory PT Ispat Indo in , , .
Until the 1990s, the family's main assets in India were a cold-rolling mill for sheet steels in and an alloy steels plant near . Today, the family business, including a large integrated steel plant near , is run by his younger brothers and Vinod Mittal, but Lakshmi has no connection with it.
He would buy the unwanted assets of other steel groups or snap up worn out state-owned plants.
Mr Mittal's son, Aditya, told BBC Radio 4's Profile programme that one of the reasons Rajasthan had successful entrepreneurs was that there was very little there in the first place.
Though, there are plenty more stories of many billionaires who had to work really hard and didn’t even have a normal childhood but, I have always been astonished by the story of this lady ‘Oprah Winfrey’.
Born to an unwed teenage mother, Oprah Winfrey spent her first years on her grandmother’s farm in Kosciusko, Mississippi, while her mother looked for work in the North. Life on the farm was primitive, but her grandmother taught her to read very early, and at age three Oprah was reciting poems and Bible verses in local churches. Despite the hardships of her physical environment, she enjoyed the loving support of her grandmother and the church community, who cherished her as a gifted child.
Her world changed for the worse at age six, when she was sent to Milwaukee to live with her mother, who had found work as a housemaid. In the long days when her mother was absent from their inner-city apartment, young Oprah was repeatedly molested by male relatives and another visitor. The abuse, which lasted from the ages of nine to 13, was emotionally devastating. When she tried to run away, she was sent to a juvenile detention home, only to be denied admission because all the beds were filled. At 14, she was out of the house and on her own. By her own account, she was sexually promiscuous as a teenager. After giving birth to a baby boy who died in infancy, she went to Nashville, Tennessee to live with her father.
‘Vernon Winfrey’ her biological father was a strict disciplinarian, but he gave his daughter the secure home life she needed. He saw to it that she met a curfew, and he required her to read a book and write a book report each week. “As strict as he was,” says Oprah, “he had some concerns about me making the best of my life, and would not accept anything less than what he thought was my best.” In this structured environment, Oprah flourished, and became an honor student, winning prizes for oratory and dramatic recitation.
