Running with gangs since a young age can give someone fighting skills. Boxing great George Foreman left school when he was only a freshman. He chose to run the streets with gang members before joining the Job Corps in 1965.

After joining the Job Corps, Foreman began training as a boxer. However, his storied boxing career didn’t earn him the majority of his wealth. If you own a George Foreman Grill, you have helped make him rich.
