ImperialYoruba:
Ogun state have two operating laws, a civil law, a customary law.

Under customary law this outcome is acceptable.

I think the federal law vetoes all other law.

It's against the law arresting someone for the crime of another except the individual stood as a surety. Lawyers in the house can clear my doubt.

The former Arsenal star is reportedly eyeing a move away from Old Trafford and is out of the Champions League clash with the Italian giants
Alexis Sanchez will miss Manchester United's Champions League clash with Juventus on Tuesday, Jose Mourinho has confirmed.
Alexis was absent from the training session ahead of the game with Juventus, and Mourinho says the forward will play no part in the pivotal European encounter.
"The players you saw at training are the players available. Sanchez is not available," he told reporters.
Sanchez's absence comes amid rumours he could be set to force a move away from Old Trafford, with The Times claiming over the weekend that he is unhappy with Mourinho and that his agent is on standby to talk to interested clubs should they come calling in January or next summer.
Sanchez has struggled for form so far this season, scoring a single goal in seven Premier League appearances.
He has played 90 minutes just once this season, in the 2-1 win over Leicester City on the opening day, while he featured for just five minutes in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Chelsea.
After being signed from Arsenal in January 2018 in a swap deal that saw Henrikh Mkhitaryan join the Gunners, Sanchez has made 26 appearances for the Red Devils.
He has scored just four goals and provided six assists in that time, with Mourinho using him sparingly.
Sanchez was left out of the squad to face West Ham earlier this season, and has been substituted numerous times.
Jesse Lingard, Diogo Dalot and Marouane Fellaini were also absent from the session, as the club prepare for the biggest game in their Champions League campaign so far.
United have so far played Valencia and Young Boys in Europe, and sit second behind the Bianconeri, having drawn with the Spanish side and beaten the Swiss outfit.
Of course, the match with Juventus offers the chance for United to renew acquaintances with the iconic Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been enjoying life at his new club since a stunning move from Real Madrid.
Ronaldo has so far scored five goals and registered five assists in nine Serie A games.

Quite unfortunate. I found myself in a similar situation some years back in Enugu. I took a bus from Abakpa liberty going to Obiagu, on our way the conductor kept on picking and dropping passengers; immediately we got to Artisan the traffic light turned red, the driver had to turn right ( towards ebeano tunnel) since the light was still green. A matured lady (probably in her sixties) looked around and realized it was all guys in the bus, she started shouting in igbo ( Jesus o, jesus o, Kidnappers o, Kidnappers o) she wanted to jump out of the bus, but the conductor held her inother to prevent her from inflicting injuries on herself. To cut the long story short, the driver dropped the woman on the road. Since then I have been thinking about what would have happened if our bus was eventually stopped by irate youths probably we would have been mobbed whereas we were innocent.

LESSON: Everybody is entitled to fair hearing, don't kill a life when you can't create one, handover suspected criminals or kidnappers to the police; there may possibly be more culprits.

It took 10 minutes to convict 14-year-old George Stinney Jr. It took 70 years after his execution to exonerate him.
By Lindsey Bever
December 18, 2014

George Stinney Jr was executed in 1944 for the murder of two white girls. (Reuters)

In March 1944, deep in the Jim Crow South, police came for 14-year-old George Stinney Jr. His parents weren’t at home. His little sister was hiding in the family’s chicken coop behind the house in Alcolu, a segregated mill town in South Carolina, while officers handcuffed George and his older brother, Johnnie, and took them away.

Two young white girls had been found brutally murdered, beaten over the head with a railroad spike and dumped in a water-logged ditch. He and his little sister, who were black, were said to be last ones to see them alive. Authorities later released the older Stinney – and directed their attention toward George.

“[The police] were looking for someone to blame it on, so they used my brother as a scapegoat,” his sister Amie Ruffner told WLTX-TV earlier this year.

On June 16, 1944, he was executed, becoming the youngest person in modern times to be put to death. On Wednesday, 70 years later, he was exonerated.

Stinney’s case has tormented civil rights advocates for years.

He was questioned in a small room, alone – without his parents, without an attorney. (Gideon v. Wainwright, the landmark Supreme Court case guaranteeing the right to counsel, wouldn’t be decided until 1963.) Police claimed the boy confessed to killing Betty June Binnicker, 11, and Mary Emma Thames, 8, admitting he wanted to have sex with Betty. They rushed him to trial.

After a two-hour trial and a 10-minute jury deliberation, Stinney was convicted of murder on April 24 and sentenced to die by electrocution, according to a book by Mark R. Jones. At the time, 14 was the age of criminal responsibility. His lawyer, a local political figure, chose not to appeal.

Stinney’s initial trial, the evidence – or lack of it – and the speed with which he was convicted seemed to illustrate how a young black boy was railroaded by an all-white justice system. During the one-day trial, the defense called few or no witnesses. There was no written record of a confession. Today, most people who could testify are dead and most evidence is long gone.

New facts in the case prompted Circuit Judge Carmen Mullen to vacate his conviction on Wednesday – 70 years after Stinney’s execution.

“I can think of no greater injustice than the violation of one’s Constitutional rights which has been proven to me in this case,” Mullen wrote.

The case has haunted the town since it happened, but garnered new attention when historian George Frierson, a local school board member raised in Stinney’s hometown, started studying it some years ago. Since then, Stinney’s former cellmate issued a statement saying the boy denied the charges. “I didn’t, didn’t do it,’ ” Wilford Hunter said Stinney told him. “He said, ‘Why would they kill me for something I didn’t do?’ ”

In 2009, an attorney planned to file statements from Stinney’s family members, but waited because he heard a man in Tennessee, who was not related to Stinney, could offer an alibi for the youth. The man never came forward. It reportedly delayed the new trial, but didn’t stop it.

“South Carolina still recognizes George Stinney as a murderer,” defense attorney Matt Burgess told CNN earlier this year. “We felt that something needed to be done about that.”

New details started to emerge. Stinney’s family claimed his confession was coerced, and that he had an alibi that was never heard. That alibi was his sister, now Amie Ruffner, 77. She said she was with him at the alleged time of the crime, watching their family’s cow graze near some railroad tracks by their house when the two girls rode over on their bicycles.

“They said, ‘Could you tell us where we could find some maypops?’ ” Ruffner remembered them saying, according to WLTX-TV. “We said, ‘No,’ and they went on about their business.”

Stinney was accused of murdering the girls while they picked wildflowers.

Stinney’s family fled their home. His brother, Charles, who is now in his 80s, said in a statement they never came forward because they were terrified.

“George’s conviction and execution was something my family believed could happen to any of us in the family. Therefore, we made a decision for the safety of the family to leave it be,” Charles Stinney wrote in his sworn statement.

Earlier this year, the case picked up speed. At a hearing in January, Stinney’s family demanded a new trial. Mullen heard testimony from Stinney’s brothers and sisters, a witness from the search party that discovered the bodies and experts who challenged Stinney’s confession. A child forensic psychiatrist testified this week that Stinney’s confession should have never been trusted.

“It is my professional opinion, to a reasonable degree of medical certainty, that the confession given by George Stinney Jr. on or about March 24, 1944, is best characterized as a coerced, compliant, false confession,” Amanda Sales told the court, according to NBC News. “It is not reliable.”

Still, some argued Stinney’s admission of guilt was clear.

At the time a law enforcement officer named H.S. Newman wrote in a handwritten statement: “I arrested a boy by the name of George Stinney. He then made a confession and told me where to find a piece of iron about 15 inches long. He said he put it in a ditch about six feet from the bicycle.” Few other documents from that time exist.

James Gamble, whose father was the sheriff at the time, told the Herald in 2003 he was in the back seat with Stinney when his father drove the boy to prison.

“There wasn’t ever any doubt about him being guilty,” he said. “He was real talkative about it. He said, ‘I’m real sorry. I didn’t want to kill them girls.’ “

Indeed, just 84 days after the girls’ deaths, Stinney was sent to the electric chair. Today, an appeal from a death sentence is all but automatic, and years, even decades, pass before an execution, which provides at least some time for new evidence to emerge.

Stinney was barely 5 feet tall and not yet 100 pounds. The electric chair’s straps were too big for his frail body. Newspapers at the time reported he had to sit on books to reach the headpiece. And when the switch was flipped, the convulsions knocked down the large mask, exposing his tearful face to the crowd.

Frierson and Stinney’s family maintained that they never wanted a pardon.

“There’s a difference: A pardon is forgiving someone for something they did,” Norma Robinson, George Stinney’s niece, told the Manning Times. “That wasn’t an option for my mother, my aunt or my uncle. We weren’t asking forgiveness.”

Instead, they sought what’s called a “writ of coram nobis.” It means, in essence, mistakes were made.

Liverpool and Manchester City take their rivalry onto the European stage this week with their first ever meeting outside of domestic competition.

This tasty Champions League quarter-final tie pits together the Premier League's two highest scorers, netting a combined 163 times between them so far this season, in what should be a classic showdown.

Liverpool
The Reds may trail their opponents by 18 points in the English top flight, having played a game more, but they remain the only side to halt the City juggernaut in the Prem this term.

A memorable 4-3 win at Anfield in January ended the Citizens' hopes of going the entire domestic campaign unbeaten, as Liverpool adopted a perfect gameplan of fighting fire with fire, leading 4-1 with 68 minutes played before almost completely capitulating.

Key to the Merseyside outfit's success in 2017-18 has been the form of forward trio Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino - described as "almost unstoppable" by opposition boss Pep Guardiola - boasting 19 between them in this competition alone.

Firmino has been responsible for seven of those, and the Brazilian forward has also played a direct part in seven goals against City in the past, finding himself on the losing side in just two of the previous seven encounters.

Still, it is Salah who remains the focal point of this Liverpool side thanks to his incredible maiden campaign at Anfield, which has seen him net 36 times overall - the most recent being the winning strike against Crystal Palace last time out.

The Reds have also looked far more assured at the back since Virgil van Dijk's arrival from Southampton in January, keeping a clean sheet in six of their last 10 outings, yet as Palace showed at the weekend there remains an underlying fragile nature that is waiting to be exposed.

Just six losses in 45 matches overall this season shows just how tough to beat Liverpool have been, though, particularly at Anfield where that record reads played 23 and lost just one. In all but three of those matches have Jurgen Klopp's men scored; only twice in their last 19 overall have they failed to do so.

More importantly than all that could well be the five-time European champions' pedigree on the continental stage, however, up against a City side competing in the last eight for just the second time in their history. Anfield, it is fair to say, is far more used to European nights of such magnitude.

Manchester City

While Liverpool were cruising to a 5-0 win over Porto in the first knockout stage, City were making similarly light work of Basel as they opened up a four-goal advantage ahead of the second leg.

Unlike the Reds, though, the Citizens succumb to a 2-1 loss in the reverse fixture to make it two defeats in their last three European outings, the other coming away to Shakhtar Donetsk in the final group-stage match.

Some context is needed in that regard, however, as both of those defeats essentially counted for very little in the grand scheme of things. Indeed, take those dead rubbers out of the equation and City have only suffered two meaningful losses all campaign - one of which came against Wednesday's opponents just a few months back, the other at the hands of Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup.

Guardiola's men have been consistent all season long and are now just one win away from adding the Premier League title to the EFL Cup won a little over a month ago, with victory over arch-rivals Manchester United in-between the two legs with Liverpool the perfect way to wrap things up.

A domestic double would mark a successful campaign for Guardiola in his second season in English football, yet there would no doubt be a twinge of disappointment if his side fail to make their mark on the European stage. Only by going all the way and lifting a first Champions League crown would they avoid that feeling of disappointment.

City have certainly gone about their business in the right manner, cruising into the last 16 of the competition with wins in each of their first five group-stage matches prior to the loss in Ukraine with a weakened side pre-Christmas.

Winning on their travels does not tend to be a problem for them, either, having done so in 19 of their 24 matches away from the Etihad Stadium - keeping a clean sheet in half of those - and they have picked up club-record 4-0 wins against both Feyenoord and Basel already in this year's competition.

As Guardiola has already pointed out, however, this match is on an entirely different scale to those that have come before it. This two-legged tie carries far more jeopardy than the clash with United later in the week by virtue of its winner-takes-all nature, as Guardiola attempts to add a third European crown to his collection.

Team News

Liverpool are expected to be without Adam Lallana for the rest of the season after the influential midfielder pulled up just five minutes into his return to action against Palace.

Emre Can has struggled with a back problem over the past fortnight, too, so there may be a chance for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to impress in a three-man midfield, potentially alongside two-time City title winner James Milner.

Klopp was given a boost by the return of Nathaniel Clyne to his subs bench last time out, but it is highly unlikely that the full-back will come in for his first appearance of the campaign in such a big match.

In terms of the visitors, the big question mark surrounds the fitness of Sergio Aguero, who has missed the past few weeks with a knee injury and is touch-and-go to start on Wednesday night.

The Argentina international has never previously scored at Anfield, though, and Guardiola may therefore be tempted to stick with Gabriel Jesus through the middle, flanked by Leroy Sane and ex-Liverpool ace Raheem Sterling.

John Stones will return from a concussion layoff but faces an uphill battle ousting Vincent Kompany and Nicolas Otamendi in the heart of defence, while Oleksandr Zinchenko is expected to deputise at left-back in Fabian Delph's prolonged absence.

A number of players are one booking away from incurring an automatic one-match ban, meanwhile, with Danilo, Fernandinho, Ilkay Gundogan, Jordan Henderson and Alberto Moreno all walking a tightrope.

Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Karius; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Henderson, Milner; Salah, Firmino, Mane

Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Bravo; Walker, Kompany, Otamendi, Zinchenko; De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Silva; Sterling, Aguero, Sane

Head To Head

This may be the first European meeting between these two sides, but Liverpool certainly have plenty of past experience when it comes to facing English sides on the continent.

The Reds have been paired against a club from the same country on 10 occasions - compared to the Citizens' one - including five times in the Champions League knockout stage.

City and Liverpool have met 178 times overall, with the Merseyside outfit winning 87 of those to City's 45, and they have won both previous two-legged affairs in domestic competition.

LIVERPOOL VS MANCHESTER CITY

Anfield's atmosphere is legendary. The stadium comes alive for big games, especially European matches. Liverpool's Champions League quarterfinal first leg against Manchester City on Wednesday night is expected to be raucous in the tradition of the epic nights of continental competition.

If the noise reaches the levels of some of the great matches of the past, it will be truly memorable. These are three of the most famous occasions.

European Cup quarterfinal, Liverpool vs. Saint-Etienne, March 16, 1977

Certain games define eras and change the course of a club's history, and in the spring of 1977, it felt like Liverpool were at a crossroads. They had become a power on the continental stage, winning the UEFA Cup in 1973 and '76. What they craved, though, was the European Cup.

This was their time, and the window for success could have been closing. Kevin Keegan, the dominant English forward of the decade, had made it clear that he was leaving the club in the summer. Keegan was the Kop's talisman. Without him, the future was uncertain. Liverpool were drawn against Saint-Etienne, another team that felt they had an appointment with destiny. The French champions had contested the previous year's European Cup final, losing unluckily 1-0 to Bayern Munich. They were confident that they could go one better.

In the first leg, the teams were well-matched, and it became clear that the margins between the sides were small. It was close for 80 minutes before Dominique Bathenay gave the home side the lead. They ended the match with a 1-0 lead to protect at Anfield.

Les Verts were good, and Merseyside recognized that this was a critical moment. The Liverpool team bus left for the stadium earlier than usual. Word came back that the streets around the ground were filled with people.

"Supporters had been queueing since midday," David Fairclough said. The 20-year-old Scouser was earning a reputation as an impact substitute. "It didn't take a genius to sense this was no normal Anfield night. It had the feel of something different."

The gates were closed hours before kickoff. A large contingent of French fans mingled with the home supporters in the paddock and Anfield Road end as anticipation ramped up in the hour before the game. "I've never known tension like it," said Phil Neal, Liverpool full-back. "It was the only European game where I was distracted by the crowd."

The terraces of the Kop were jammed. It was a damp night, and steam rose from the standing hordes, with the roar of the crowd audible in the city's docklands two miles away. "It was the most incredible atmosphere I ever experienced," said Ray Clemence, Liverpool goalkeeper. "There might have been only 50-odd thousand in the ground, but it felt like 250,000."

The supporters went into rapture when Keegan leveled the aggregate score after just two minutes. He drifted a ball in toward the back post, and the wind caught it, taking it into the net.

Things changed six minutes after halftime, when Bathenay turned the tie on its head. He picked up the ball in the centre circle, rode a tackle, advanced into the Liverpool half and lashed in a shot from almost 30 yards that left Clemence without a chance.

Liverpool needed to score two goals to progress, and the home side stormed forward. Ray Kennedy restored the lead after 58 minutes, but Saint-Etienne had the advantage of the crucial away goal. The Anfield crowd urged their heroes forward, but the French side remained composed.

With 17 minutes left, Bob Paisley sent Fairclough on to replace John Toshack. The substitute was tall, with fiery red hair and pale, improbably thin legs. As the seconds ticked away, the mood in the ground became more frantic.

Six minutes were left when Kennedy sent a ball forward toward the Kop and Fairclough latched onto it. He chested the ball down and was hit by a heavy challenge by the burly Christian Lopez. The willowy Scouser shrugged him off and set off toward the penalty area. With the vast terrace behind the goal howling in desperation, Fairclough shot. It was an untidy, bobbly effort but one with the pace and direction to beat Yvan Curkovic and give Liverpool the lead on aggregate.

Anfield shook. "It was the only game where I was distracted by the crowd," Neal said. "The whole stadium seemed to be moving."

"There was so much passion emanating from all sides of the ground, it was almost frightening," Fairclough said. It's considered by many veteran fans to be the standing Kop's finest moment.

Liverpool vs. Chelsea, Champions League semifinal, May 3, 2005

The old-time supporters were cynical. The Anfield atmosphere was good, but such wild nights were seemingly a thing of the past. Seats had killed the Kop, with the swaying, seething and screaming frenzy of the past somewhat muted in the new age. They were wrong.

Liverpool's 2004-05 Champions League had more than its share of memorable matches. Steven Gerrard's last-gasp goal against Olympiakos in the group stage sparked crazed celebrations, sending the home team into the knockout round in the most unlikely of circumstances.

Then the quarterfinal brought Juventus to Anfield. It was an emotional night: the first meeting between the two sides since the Heysel Stadium disaster 20 years previous, when 39 fans died in a tragedy precipitated by Liverpool supporters. Rafa Benitez's team surged forward in a whirlwind attacking start that stunned the Italian giants and continued the improbable advance toward Istanbul.

The semifinal paired Liverpool with Chelsea. Jose Mourinho had lobbied for the job at Anfield and been spurned, but in his first season in west London, he led the Blues to the title. Chelsea were heavy favourites, too: the first leg at Stamford Bridge was a 0-0 draw and set up a titanic clash in front of the Kop.

The famous stand rose to the occasion. The craving for success was all-consuming at Anfield, and the packed stadium was pulsing with excitement.

"The supporters took the atmosphere to a new level that night," Gerrard said. "It's probably the best I've experienced at Anfield. The feelings I was getting inside my body were incredible."

Liverpool attacked the Kop. Four minutes into the game, Gerrard flicked the ball into the Chelsea area, Milan Baros helped it on, and Luis Garcia touched it over Petr Cech. William Gallas charged back and cleared the ball, claiming it had not crossed the line, but the crowd were already going wild. The referee awarded a goal, and while Chelsea raged, Anfield bounced.

The "ghost goal" gave Liverpool a crucial advantage, but Mourinho's team began to turn the screw. Chelsea finished 37 points ahead of their rivals in the Premier League and were a much better side, but on this night, it was more than 11-on-11. All around Anfield, the supporters screamed themselves hoarse beseeching their team to hold on to the slender lead.

"I get goosebumps thinking about it," Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann said. "For the final 15 minutes, Liverpool fans basically kept the ball out of the net -- and that's after they helped it in for Luis Garcia's goal."

Chelsea had one last chance when, in stoppage time, Eidur Gudjohnsen shot across the Kop goalmouth. A gasp of fear ran down the huge stand, but the ball went wide. Liverpool had reached Europe's biggest game for the first time in two decades. At the end, Mourinho stood in the centre circle and stared at the Kop, his hand cradled reflectively under his chin. The scene before him was one of wild celebration.

"Anfield erupted in a way it had not done for 30 years," Hamann said. "It was truly momentous."

Liverpool vs. Borussia Dortmund, Europa League quarterfinal second leg, April 14, 2016

Jurgen Klopp had managed Dortmund to two Bundesliga titles in his seven years at the Westfalenstadion, and now, six months after taking over at Anfield, the two clubs were drawn to play each other.

But there was another dynamic. Dortmund's Yellow Wall had become the go-to section for atmosphere in Europe. It was fresh, vibrant and exciting, with German terrace culture viewed with envy by fans around the world.

The Kop appeared a little tired by comparison, and the Liverpool team looked equally jaded in the opening exchanges of the second leg at Anfield. With the score at 1-1 from the first leg, Dortmund silenced the crowd and seemingly broke the game apart by scoring twice in the first 10 minutes. Divock Origi pulled one back early in the second half, but the Germans responded with a third goal just before the hour. The mood around the stadium was a mixture of grim acceptance and an uncompromising request for resistance. The Kop were not demanding victory; they wanted their players to battle to the end.

If the representatives of the Yellow Wall present at Anfield believed that they had now assumed the mantle of Europe's most partisan and committed crowd, they were about to be taught a lesson by the Kop.

After Philippe Coutinho reduced Liverpool's deficit on the night, Kopites scented blood. "There is a chemistry at Anfield," the Guardian wrote, "that is simply not replicated anywhere else in the country and probably in few places in the world."

The reaction on the pitch was explosive. Mamadou Sakho levelled the scores at 3-3 on the night, but Liverpool still needed another goal, and time was running out. There was now confidence on the Kop, and the sense of inevitability transmitted itself to both sides. "The stadium seemed to know what would happen," Thomas Tuchel, the Dortmund coach, said. "It was as if it was meant to be."

And it was. In stoppage time, Dejan Lovren joined the wave of attackers and rose to meet James Milner's cross in front of the Kop. His header powered into the back of the net to give Liverpool an unlikely 4-3 win on the night and send them into the next round.

"I believe in atmosphere," Klopp said. "And this was the perfect proof of what atmosphere can create. Without noise and without a crowd, there was no chance in this game."

The Liverpool manager will hope the Kop remembers his words when City come to Anfield this week.

6.Ingvar Kamprad
Ingvar Kamprad was born on a farm in rural Sweden. His family was so poor that he began working at six years old to sell matches to people in town. At 10, he rode his bicycle around, trying to sell Christmas decorations door-to-door.

Kamprad had dyslexia, which made it difficult for him to get good grades. But he tried his best to overcome his disability. When he was 17, his father gave him a small reward for getting such good grades in high school. He decided to use that money to start a business called Ingvar Kamprad from Elmtaryd, Agunnaryd (aka “IKEA”).[5]

After years of trying to sell to his neighbors, he realized that everyone needed furniture and home decor. So he began selling products at lower prices than his competitors. The local furniture businesses began to boycott him to stop him from buying wholesale.

If he wanted to sell furniture, they said, it needed to be his own design. He decided to create furniture that was simple, modern, and cheap. Today, there are over 350 IKEA stores worldwide.

Ingvar Kamprad died at 91 years old in January 2018. At the time of his death, he was worth $58.7 billion.
5.Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey was born in a tiny town in Mississippi to a teenage single mother who worked as a housemaid. They had to rely on family to help them survive. When she was just nine years old, multiple men from her family raped her repeatedly. She moved to Tennessee to live with her father, but the sexual abuse never stopped.

At only 14, she got pregnant. The baby died soon after birth. Though Oprah had been through hell and back at such a young age, it only made her have more empathy for the pain of others.

She was incredibly smart and excelled in school. She got a scholarship to college and a job at a radio station. She worked her way up to being a news anchor. There was something truly special about her personality. When she was 30, she became the first black woman in history to have her own talk show. Today, she is worth $2.7 billion
4.John D. Rockefeller
When you hear the name “Rockefeller,” it’s hard not to associate it with wealth. However, it didn’t start out that way. All the way back in 1839, John D. Rockefeller was born in Richford, New York, but his parents were poor and needed to move to Ohio.

As a young man, Rockefeller took an accounting class. This helped a business owner trust Rockefeller as a bookkeeper for a produce shipping company when he was only 16 years old. At 20, he was ready to start his own business. He began earning commissions on selling essentials like hay and meat but later realized the real money was in oil.

Rockefeller opened his first oil refinery when he was just 24. Soon enough, his business skills helped to grow it into the largest refinery in the area, and it became Standard Oil. In 1916, he became the world’s first billionaire. When he died in 1937, his assets were worth 1.5 percent of the entire US economy.[7]
3.Gabrielle Chanel
A young girl named Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel was born in 1883 but abandoned by her father at an orphanage in France at a very young age. At the orphanage, nuns taught her how to sew, and she was able to use those skills as a professional seamstress.

At night, she worked as a singer at a bar for extra income. At the time, women were not allowed to open bank accounts, vote, or own property on their own. Determined to succeed, she met a rich man at the bar and began living with him as a mistress when she was 23 years old. This helped her learn how to speak and act like wealthy woman so that she fit in with high society.

Once she firmly established friendships in the upper class, she set out to create clothing made with “poor” fabrics. At the time, women were wearing feathers, corsets, and heavy brocade fabrics.

Chanel called this “vulgar” and began creating comfortable sportswear and simple, chic dresses. Her designs in Paris influenced fashion everywhere in the world. She opened boutiques, and soon enough, she never needed to seek the help of a man again.[8]

Today, Chanel products are incredibly expensive and a symbol of total luxury. The current owners of Chanel are worth $19 billion.

There is a saying that “you need money to make money.” This is true for the vast majority of millionaires and billionaires who were born into rich families and started their own businesses.

Education, wise investments, and access to opportunities unavailable to most people make it easy for rich kids to continue making a lot of money. However, there are a few wealthy individuals who truly did work hard to rise above their humble beginnings and become extremely rich.
10. Leonardo Del Vecchio
Leonardo Del Vecchio was born in Milan, Italy, in 1935. Just a few months earlier, his father had died. His mother could not afford to raise him alone, so she gave him to an orphanage.

When he was a teenager, he became an apprentice to a tool and die maker and then got a job at a factory called Johnson that produced medals and badges. The factory had a program that paid for art school tuition, so he studied at night and worked during the day. After graduating, he was given the new job of head machinist, stamping badge patterns into metal.

After years of working in these factories, he began noticing how many small metal cast parts went into making eyeglasses and he knew that there was a huge demand for them. He used his skills to open his own studio to manufacture eyeglasses in Milan.

When he was 26, he learned that a town called Agordo was offering free land to anyone who opened a factory there. So he left everything behind in Milan for that opportunity. After a few years, he realized that he needed to create the name Luxottica so that every company that created their glasses in his factory would carry his brand.

Del Vecchio continued to make wise businesses decisions over the years, and the corporation now produces Ray-Ban, Coach, Oakley, Prada, and much more. According to Forbes, Del Vecchio has an estimated $22.6 billion net worth. During an interview, he said, “When I was starting out, I never thought I would get this far. I was always just trying to do well for myself.”[1]
9.Peter Dinklage
Fans of Game of Thrones will know and love Peter Dinklage for his portrayal of Tyrion Lannister. Looking at his talent, it’s easy to assume that he always had success in life.

The reality is that he was born in New Jersey to parents who didn’t have a lot of money. He had aspirations to be an actor, so he went to college and got a degree in theater. After graduating, he had a huge amount of student loan debt. He couldn’t afford an apartment, but at least his friends let him stay on their couches in New York City.

Dinklage started getting day jobs cleaning. When he finally pulled together enough money to share rent on an apartment, it was only enough to earn him a permanent spot on the floor. After two years of searching for work, he finally got a full-time office job doing data processing. The money he made was only enough to stay in an industrial loft without heat.

He hated this job, couldn’t find a girlfriend, and drank constantly to ease the pain as he snuggled with his cat, Brian, in the cold apartment. When he turned 29, he promised himself that he would take the next acting job and leave his miserable data processing job behind.

Even then, it took years of building his acting resume to land the lucrative role in Game of Thrones, which eventually paid him over $1 million per episode.

During a speech, he said, “Don’t search for defining moments. They will never come. [ . . . ] Don’t wait until they tell you you’re ready. Get in there. I waited a long time out in the world before I gave myself permission to fail. Please. Don’t even bother asking. Don’t bother telling the world you are ready. Show it. Do it.”[2]
8.Do Won Chang
In 1981, Do Won Chang moved from South Korea to the United States with his family. (Sources conflict on his exact age, but he was in his twenties.)

He began applying for jobs right away in Los Angeles and worked in a coffee shop washing dishes for $3 an hour. He took a second job at a gas station. Then he decided to start an office cleaning business, so those three jobs kept him working from the moment he woke up until midnight every single day.

Whenever he saw a man driving a luxury car at the gas station, he asked, “What do you do for a living?” He began to notice a pattern: Many of them worked in the clothing industry. So, he quit washing dishes to work at a clothing store to learn everything there was to know about the garment industry.

Through his three jobs, he was able to save $11,000. He used the money to open a store called Fashion 21, which sold wholesale clothing at low prices. He began to open more stores and changed the name to Forever 21.[3]

During the Great Recession of 2008, Chang chose to open even more Forever 21 stores instead of cutting back on expenses. His goal was to create 7,000 new jobs every year, which also helped his company. Today, Do Won Chang has a net worth of $3.1 billion.
7.Magnus Walker
As a teenager living in Sheffield, England, at the peak of the punk rock era, Magnus Walker dreamed of owning a Porsche someday, but he was far too poor to do so. He knew that he wanted to move to the United States, but he was broke. So he signed up for a job through a summer camp program in Detroit, which gave him a free flight. When the summer was over, he took a bus to Los Angeles.

He dropped out of school at 15. Instead of looking for a traditional job, he started going to thrift stores and finding cool clothes, like Levi’s jeans and motorcycle jackets, to resell on Venice Beach.

He quickly realized that people loved his own clothing items, which were custom patched jeans. He began selling his own designs, and his profits went through the roof. His clothing business, Serious Clothing, began selling to Hot Topic and styling rock stars. He earned enough money to buy a Porsche. Then he began collecting, customizing, and reselling them, too.

After getting married, his wife suggested buying a dilapidated building in the Arts District of Los Angeles. At the time, it was home to squatters and a hotbed of criminal activity, so they gave it a complete makeover.

The style was so cool that it quickly became a perfect filming location to rent out. According to CNBC, Walker’s personal Porsche collection alone is worth $7.5 million, and that doesn’t even count his businesses and real estate assets.[4]

Authorities say a Texas woman is dead and her suspected killer is behind bars after the woman’s body was found in a large garbage bin in Texas earlier this week, PEOPLE confirms.

Andres Rios Ramirez, 30, is charged with murder in the slaying of 24-year-old Camille Garcia, described as a “young mother” according to two Tom Green County Sheriff’s Office news releases and online jail records reviewed by PEOPLE.

The relationship between Ramirez and Garcia, if any, was not immediately clear.

Tom Green County deputies discovered Garcia dead from a single gunshot wound on Tuesday after responding to call about a body in a dumpster in San Angelo.
According to the sheriff’s office, Ramirez was identified on Wednesday afternoon as a person of interest in the homicide. That same day he was stopped by authorities after being seen driving without a valid license, deputies claim.

During that stop, a loaded pistol was allegedly found in Ramirez’s vehicle, the sheriff’s office said.

Ramirez was taken for questioning and allegedly confessed, according to the sheriff’s office. He was charged on Wednesday.

Investigators believe a local home that was searched on Wednesday was the site of Garcia’s murder.

Ramirez remains in custody in lieu of $250,000 bond. Attorney information was not available Thursday.

He has not yet entered a plea.
