If you think you are at the lowest ebb of your life, never mind you are not the first. The listed celebrities are at one time in their life homeless but they are now living in million dollars homes:

Jennifer Lopez

In the new issue of W Magazine,Jennifer Lopez reveals that she was homeless at a time in her life.

The now 43-year-old star couch-surfed at the age of 18 after her parents disagreed with her decision to pursue a career in Hollywood.

“My mom and I butted heads,” Lopez tells W. “I didn’t want to go to college -- I wanted to try dance full-time. So she and I had a break. I started sleeping on the sofa in the dance studio. I was homeless, but I told her, ‘This is what I have to do.’ A few months later, I landed a job dancing in Europe. When I got back, I booked 'In Living Color.' I became a Fly Girl and moved to L.A. It all happened in a year.”

Halle Berry

Berry lived in homeless shelters at the age of 21 after she tried to pursue a Hollywood career, despite her mom's disapproval. ''After a month or two, I ran out of money and called her, I said,'Mom; Ihate to ask you this , but could you send me some money? I just have rent money. I can't eat this week'' she said in 2007. And she said, I'm not going to start this calling home asking Mom for money. No. Figure it out or come home.' I was so mad. I did not speak to her for a year and half.

Kelly Clarkson

Before getting her big break on ''American Idol,'' Clarkson lived out of her car after LA apartment burned down. She allegedly showered daily at a health club where she had a membership.

Lil' Kim

Before she made it in Hollywood, Lil'Kim was just getting by in Brooklyn, NY. Her father kicked her out as a teenager, and for a while, Kim was homeless. During her struggle, she met the Notorious B.I.G who helped her go from a couch-surfing girl to Grammy-winning performer.

Tyler Perry

The actor and director lived in his car after one of his projects flopped in Atlanta.

Sylvester Stallone

The actor spent three weeks sleeping in New York City's Port Authority bus station after being evicted from his apartment. Out of desperation, Stallone took a role in an adult film, which paid $200 and helped him get back on his feet.

Djimon Hounsou

In the early 1980s, when he was in his teens, the African-born future model and actor was a homeless youth in Paris. "I lived on the streets for some time -- fighting for survival, searching out nothing more than my daily necessities for a meagre existence," Hounsou told a U.S. Senate panel in 2008, according to People.

Drew Carey

Carey lived out of his car for 18 months while trying to earn a spot on "The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson."

Carmen Electra

"You know, I had a couple of years of being homeless in Hollywood," Electra told the Review Journal. "A lot of people don't even know this."

She was in her early 20s when her boyfriend stole all of her savings and left her stranded. "I remember sitting on a park bench in the valley," she says. "I was crying because I was stranded. It was over 100 degrees outside."

Sean Parker

 In an interview with Jimmy Fallon, Parker said that he could "easily have been a one hit wonder and drifted off into obscurity," after Napster, but instead forged on, trying to build a consumer product. Until the PayPal IPO in 2002, Parker was forced to live a vagrant sort of life, "sleeping on couches," and setting up rules "about how long I'd freeload off of any one individual."
