This is the video that initially popped into my mind, it's from 2008 titled: Homeless Man Used to Be a Banker Before the Recession
Sucks it's only 10 minutes long due to 2008 YouTube, because his story is wild and pretty heartbreaking at some points:
  • ran away from home at 12 with hippies
  • returned home after 1 year, kicked out for good
  • spent ~2 months in every US state over the next 15 years
  • settled in LA, got job in the investing arena (diamonds, indie films, oil/gas)
  • evicted from his home
  • loses storage unit with all of his belongings, including 10,000 pages and a book to his daughter
  • even more
