10. Tyler Perry

Tyler Perry has become a mogul in the entertainment business, being worth about $400 million, but it wasn’t always so. In the early 1990’s he had a play flop in Atlanta that led to his sleeping out of his car and sometimes pay-by-the-week hotels. These days he owns a few homes and even a private island. In his case, persistence certainly paid off.
