6. John Paul DeJoria
6. 约翰-保罗-德约里尔

Born to Italian and Greek immigrant parents, this billionaire had to sell newspapers when he was nine to support his family. He has lived in a foster home, been part of a street gang and jumped through a number of jobs. With a loan of $700, he began what is now known the world over as the Paul Mitchell line of hair products. He went on to own 70% of The Patron Spirits Company, the world’s ultra-premium tequila brand. If this is not a rags-to-riches story, we do not know what is.
约翰出生在来自意大利和希腊的移民家庭,在成为亿万富翁之前,九岁的时候,他不得不靠卖报纸来补贴家用。他住在收养家庭里,曾经是个街头小混混,换过许多工作。用700美元的贷款,他开始经营今天享誉全球的保罗-米切尔美发产品。之后他获得了培恩烈酒公司70%的份额,该公司是世界顶级的龙舌兰酒品牌。如果这都不算白手起家致富的话,我们都不知道还有什么可以算了。
