AceShowbiz - World-class star Halle Berry is known for her elegant and calm demeanor, but not many know she had a rough childhood. As a young girl, she witnessed her mother being abused by her father. When her parents separated, she and her older sister were raised exclusively by their mother and barely had contact with her father. But that's not the end of her hellish situation.
After some success in the beauty pageant circuit as a teen and coming in sixth in the Miss World 1986, the Oscar-winning actress moved to New York City to pursue modeling. Reaching her dream, however, wasn't as easy as saying it as at one point, she ran out of money and had to live in a homeless shelter in 1989. Her big break came when she starred in 1992's romantic comedy "Boomerang" alongside Eddie Murphy. She has since landed numerous awards and lead roles, with her net worth being estimated at $90 million in 2021.
