Life hasn't always been easy for Steve Harvey.

In a new interview, the 59-year-old TV star revealed he was once homeless and living out of his car. But, after years of hard work, Steve is now worth a whopping $100 million!

"That was an ugly period, just very painful," he said of becoming homeless in the 1980s.

"It kills me when I hear very successful people say, 'I always knew I would get here,'" Steve recently told People. "I didn't. I always hoped I would get somewhere, but this is above and beyond. My imagination didn't even go this big."

The Oscar-winner moved to Chicago to become an actress in her early 20s, but soon ran out of money and was forced to stay in a homeless shelter.

"It taught me how to take care of myself and that I could live through any situation, even if it meant going to a shelter for a small stint, or living within my means, which were meager. I became a person who knows that I will always make my own way," she told Star Pulse.
