I like using Wikipedia to find information. Sometimes, it provides me with the best answers to questions that I have about the subject that I am researching. In a particular search for Nouveau Riche, I have found that there are numerous rags to riches stories from fairy tales and biblical stories to contemporary day real life personalities.
The page also has information on people of notable mention that are popular. The once President of the United States of America, William Jefferson Clinton had modest beginnings, like another president Abraham Lincoln. He was born William Jefferson Blythe III on August 19, 1946. His father died 3 months before he was born, and he was left with his grandparents while his mother went to New Orleans to study nursing. In 1950 his mother returned and Married Roger Clinton. At the age of 14 William J. Blythe III adopted the surname of his stepfather, Clinton. William J. Clinton’s memories of his stepfather were that he was an alcoholic and a gambler, and that he also would abuse his mother regularly and sometimes also his half brother Roger Jr.
