15 Rich And Famous People Who Used To Be Homeless

The co-founder of Canada's largest specialty chain of coffee shops was once homeless because of a drinking problem.

While he was in his early 20s, Frank O'Dea was panhandling and living on the streets, according to John Demont at The Chronicle Herald.

That was, until he and his business partner opened Second Cup, which is the largest specialty coffee chain in Canada today with 360 locations.
