Shania Twain

At just eight years old, Shania Twain began singing to help her family afford food. By age 14, her mother moved Shania and her siblings to a homeless shelter to escape their father. Shania described the shelter as “a crowded, sweltering place with cot-like beds in large, open rooms.”

Now, with a net worth of $400 million, Shania is dedicated to using her fortune to support underprivileged youth and give back to those in need just as she once was.
