Viola Davis has a net worth estimated at $25 million. She is one of the highest-paid actresses in the world, earning roughly $ 15 million between September 2019 and September 2020.
In her candid memoir, Davis recalls a childhood spent in poverty, witnessing domestic abuse between her parents and being regularly bullied by classmates for her appearance and her family's way of life.
The actress was born in St. Matthews, South Carolina, in her grandparent's house, where her grandfather was a sharecropper on a plantation. The family lived in a one-room house with no running water or indoor toilets.
This story is a perfect example that demonstrates that you don’t have to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth to achieve great things in life — though it certainly helps. Still, many of today’s billionaires had very humble beginnings.
