Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Jack Dorsey: all these eminent entrepreneurs are known by millions of people, so they must constantly think about maintaining a good image for consumers. But this has not always been the case. We found old photos of these rich celebrities to see what these respectable ladies and gentlemen looked like before the number of zeros in their bank accounts multiply considerably.
#Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo started playing football at the age of 8. Since then, he has become the most expensive football player in history (in 2009, for his transfer to the Spanish club Real Madrid since the English club Manchester, 80 million pounds were spent), and several times he was recognized as the best scorer of some championships.
Ronaldo posted the photo of him small on Twitter after another victory in the Champions League. The picture was accompanied by the sign of the Nike brand and the slogan "This boy knew".
Fans noticed that the athlete's t-shirt on the photo was from the Adidas brand, which caused a lot of fun comments on social media.
#Elon Musk
When Musk was 18, he was working on the farm with his uncle and could not even imagine that one day he would become a brilliant businessman and inventor whose fortune would be estimated at billions of dollars.
#Bill Gates
In the 1970s, Bill Gates was twice arrested by the police. In both cases, it was driving without a license. This is one of those times that the first picture was taken.
At that time, Microsoft, founded by Gates, was slowly starting to grow. But later, the company's earnings so increased that over the next 18 years, Bill was considered the richest person on the planet.

#Jeff Bezos
As a teenager, Jeff worked at McDonald's and never thought he would become a billionaire. But years later, he founded the Amazon company, which earned him a fortune of $ 135.6 billion and in 2018 he was recognized as the richest man in the world.
#Jack Dorsey
At age 14, future Twitter creator Jack Dorsey developed the software to call taxis and couriers via the Internet. Previously, in his youth, the multimillionaire future had managed to work as a model. The microblogging network was launched when Dorsey was 30 years old. To date, the fortune of its creator is estimated at $ 5.2 billion.
#Richard Branson
From an early age, Richard Branson tried to start his own business. While still a schoolboy, he tried to grow Christmas trees and raise parakeets to sell. However, both projects failed.
The first successful Branson experience was the creation of Student magazine, in which, among others, Mick Jagger and John Lennon were published. At the age of 17, Richard founded his first charity, the Student Advisory Center.
Today, Richard Branson, 68, is considered one of the richest people in Britain. He is the founder of Virgin Group Corporation, which includes about 400 different companies.
#Mark Zuckerberg
Mark Zuckerberg was born into a big family of four, where he was the only boy. At school, he was passionate about programming. One of his first projects was the online version of the game "Risk".
In 2004, Mark Zuckerberg and a group of people with similar interests launched the Facebook social network. At the time, the promoter was only 20 years old. The popularity of this project explains why, years later, Mark Zuckerberg joined the list of the 10 richest people on the planet with a fortune of $ 71 billion.
