From zero to hero

Im tired of the political posting here all the time. Lets have a thread about people were born under harsh circumstances but didnt give up and made it to top eventually. There is hitler, stalin, and who else? Im sure history is full of "self made man" like them.

he has came back again, Justinian the Great II shall rule once again

hes basically what happens when you give a lower class white dude from queens 4 billion dollars

I wont accept Trump in this thread. I dont have anything against him but he simply doesnt fall in this category. His family was well off, he was one of the most powerful/rich man on the planet already. He just moved a few positions up.
Meanwhile may have been noble as well but he was a small time noble and worked as an artilery sergeant. He made it to the top from the bottom pretty much
Trump was the at the top all the time

It wasn't zero but Caesar was almost no one when he started

PRAISE THE UNCONQUERED SUN

Egyptians were white.

Nah, he's someone like Augustus. He just inherited a fortune and made good use of it by expanding his business empire. Sure he had to fight for the presidential position but so did all the others who came before him. In fact he had much more advantage than many other previous candidates due to his wealth.

I wouldn't want to be known to "the masses". That repulses me. And I despise "them" (as an ideological construct).

Genghis Khan did pretty well for himself. Nomad to conqueror of Asia.

This guy almost got killed in the Tusti pogrom of 1959, fled to Uganda with his family and grew up in a refugee camp.

And during the Rwandan Civil War he spent some time in the Virunga Mountains with his guerrilla army.
