Rags to Riches	comment	Character of poor or even modest economic standing becomes wealthy and successful. Can be the gimmick of an entire series, or the plot of a single episode. Could also be the backstory of a wealthy character- explaining why he acts the way he does. Such as explaining why a wealthy man is so frugal (i.e. cheap), or explaining why he feels more at home among the poorer class. Originating in the 18th and 19th centuries, it had been a Forgotten Trope, but the advent of the lottery and prominent Real Life examples have breathed life back into this. The classic "Horatio Alger" version of the trope is that the protagonist lifts himself (or rarely herself) up to economic success by a combination of hard work and virtuous behavior. And a walloping dose of luck, which comes to the protagonist because of their work and virtue. It fell out of favor around The Great Depression and has never quite recovered. More modern uses of the trope are more cynical, and may feature the character getting their wealth through unethical or illegal means, and discovering that wealth doesn't make them happy, (e.g. The Great Gatsby) and might include an Anvilicious statement on why sudden wealth leads to corruption. If the plot for a single episode, will usually feature the character becoming haughty and vain and eventually losing his or her money and returning to normal, showing that they never needed money in the first place. Occasionally played, is the Aesop of preferring personal freedom over the trappings of success, especially when that success comes at the cost of compromising your pride and dignity. In such cases, the person who goes from rags to riches realizes that they are virtually owned by those to whom they owe their success; something that frequently happens in the entertainment industry. The darkest and edgiest versions of this trope sometimes overlap with From Nobody to Nightmare. In the "Rise and Fall" Gangster Arc, the first half of the story will use this trope for the protagonist, and the second half will depict them losing everything, often including their life. This trope is also popular with telenovelas, many of which star a dirt-poor NaÃ¯ve Everygirl from the slums who is swept into the world of the super-wealthy, either through an interclass romance, finding out she's the long-lost daughter of a millionaire, switching places with a lookalike so the latter can run away with her secret lover, or other such shenanigans. In this case, the heroine is meant as an Audience Surrogate for viewers from the same humble origins. As such, these shows are often a form of Wish-Fulfillment and the girl usually keeps her fortune at the end of the series. See also Prince and Pauper and Self-Made Man. When someone goes all the way from poverty to the throne it is Rags to Royalty. An Epic Warrior Prince who, by military conquest, goes from somewhat minor status to ruling an Empire is likely the Young Conqueror. A less noble example is the Nouveau Riche. Other variations can probably be thought of. One is for this to be done by focusing on a group (say a family, a nation, or a sports team) rather than an individual that does this. When a character just as suddenly loses their fame and fortune, that might be the Fallen Princess, Princess in Rags, or Riches to Rags. Not to be confused with the chestnut filly who won the 2007 Belmont Stakes.

Rags to Riches / int_1215a23d	comment	Ningguang from Genshin Impact is an example of this trope as she was born to a poor family, which she eventually moved away from to start her own business. She retains some of her tastes from that time, such as a taste for simple grilled fish, and one of the branches of her Hangout Event has her and the Traveler reenacting her rise from nothing for fun. Zhongli, another character, even says he remembers her walking barefoot through a beach selling her wares.

Winthorpe's former butler Coleman ends up being able to afford a butler of his own. The most notable case is Winthorpe, who begins the movie rich, then is driven to homelessness and nearly suicide, and ends the movie having bankrupted the people responsible for his temporary destitution and it is implied he's far more wealthy than he was at the movie's beginning.

Rags to Riches / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age: This can happen in Dragon Age: Origins for a Dwarven Commoner Warden, who was born casteless (the absolute bottom-wrung of dwarven society) and was thus looked upon as less than a person before becoming a Grey Warden. In the time between the Warden leaving and then returning to Orzammar, their sister Rica moves up in society when she becomes the mother of a prince's son and becomes a royal concubine. After defeating the archdemon, the Warden becomes uplifted to a Paragon, a living legend among dwarves. It can also happen to a City Elf Warden who becomes the Bann of the Alienage, granting the elves a voice in Ferelden for the first time in history. In Dragon Age II, the main quest line of Act 1 centers around Hawke, a refugee in the slums of Kirkwall, attempting to gather enough resources to become a partner in a Deep Roads treasure hunting expedition, which eventually earns them enough money to bring their family back into high society. It can go even further in the endgame, where a pro-Templar Hawke is appointed Kirkwall's new Viscount, although this is temporary. Dragon Age: Inquisition: This can be the case for the Inquisitor. A human Inquisitor is already nobility (being the youngest child of a minor noble from the Free Marches), but the other three are a smuggling dwarf, a mercenary Qunari, or a nomadic elf who lives in the woods. Any of the four possibilities end up as a significant historical figure with a castle, a pile of gold, and their own personal army of devoted followers. This is also Vivienne's backstory. She was the daughter of itinerant merchants who was taken to the Circle as a child when her magic manifested and went from that humble background to First Enchanter of Monstimmard and personal court mage to the Empress of Orlais. She can even end the game by being elected Divine.

Rags to Riches / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem: Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade: Louise was a peasant girl that didn't have much aside from her archery skills, her kind heart, and her incredible beauty. However, after she told a local rich bachelor (Lord Pent) that she'd protect him with her bow and arrows, he chose her as his wife over many more graceful and prettier girls. Now they're very Happily Married. Same goes for Louise's best friend and distant cousin Queen Hellene from Bern. It didn't work half as well in her case. Also sorta happens to Serra, who grew up poor and lonely in a St. Elimine convent located in the Etruria/Ostia border before she was employed in the local court thanks to her healing abilities. She covers this up by acting like a Rich Bitch to hide her abandonment issues. Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War: Deirdre was a young girl living in seclusion and feeling that she was trapped in her forest village, then fell in love and married a local lord, and after her heritage as the long lost child of an imperial prince is discovered, she becomes an Empress. Too bad she had to be mind-wiped first and then have her first husband horribly killed by the second, though. A much darker example is King Gangrel from Fire Emblem: Awakening, as a former Street Urchin who rose to the top of Plegian aristocracy and finally got the crown. And became The Caligula. And lost everything. And if you recruit him via Spot-Pass, he turns into The Atoner. Fire Emblem: Three Houses has a few examples of street urchins finding a better life through wealthy benefactors: Dorothea was a homeless little girl until her natural talent for song and dance attracted the attention of a wealthy patron, who went on to make her the star of the Imperial opera house, then paying her way through the Officers' Academy. Now, she's on the hunt for someone wealthy to marry, so she won't have to fear returning to a life of poverty. Ashe and his siblings were orphaned after their parents succumbed to illness, leaving them poor and forcing Ashe to commit thievery to survive. He was eventually found and adopted, along with his siblings, by the Kingdom noble Lonato. So thankful is Ashe to Lonato for rescuing him and his siblings from poverty that it secured his Undying Loyalty. Such that, in any story rout but the Blue Lions', Rhea's execution of Lonato for dissent following the death of Lonato's biological son is what drives Ashe, in turn, to rebel.

Rags to Riches / int_23b9cc11	comment	The 2014 revival of Cosmos features two examples from history. Tyson is sure to point out how luck and open-minded policy allowed these geniuses to make their discoveries. Joseph Fraunhofer was an orphan and indentured servant in the Bavarian royal glassmaker's factory and house. Ironically, he got his break when the house collapsed and Prince Maximilian led the rescue efforts, subsequently giving Joseph money and an education. Fraunhofer eventually became the head of the Optical Institute because his genius with optical glass turned Bavaria into an economic powerhouse, and he also discovered Fraunhofer lines. (However, he died at the young age of 39; many glassmakers of the time met a similar fate due to the toxic fumes.) Michael Faraday was a poor boy and a tradesman who never finished his schooling, but he impressed Royal Institute scientist Humphry Davy with a book of scientific notes on Davy's demonstrations. Faraday went on to make all sorts of discoveries in electricity and electromagnetism and wound up running the Royal Institution himself.

A human Inquisitor is already nobility (being the youngest child of a minor noble from the Free Marches), but the other three are a smuggling dwarf, a mercenary Qunari, or a nomadic elf who lives in the woods. Any of the four possibilities end up as a significant historical figure with a castle, a pile of gold, and their own personal army of devoted followers. This is also Vivienne's backstory. She was the daughter of itinerant merchants who was taken to the Circle as a child when her magic manifested and went from that humble background to First Enchanter of Monstimmard and personal court mage to the Empress of Orlais. She can even end the game by being elected Divine.

By the middle of the first novel, he's living in a basement room with almost nothing to his name, and having to eat his sister-in-law's 'cooking'. By the end of the eighth novel, he's a billionaire (again). In that particular example, much is made of the fact that he's got next to no poverty-level survival skills, having been trained nearly from birth to be a megabusinessman. It's only after his parents are forced to cough up three hundred million dollars in the first story that he's able to apply his elite financial skills and connections to once again climbing the billionaires' ladder. It's lampshaded by other students at Whateley on his first arrival that while he may have lost his family and 98% of his inheritance, he's still wealthier than almost all of the rest of the campus put together.

He's somewhat reluctant about the whole thing. Harry King started as a street urchin who lived off other people's garbage. He realized that what is garbage to some people is actually valuable to others so he started a garbage collection and recycling business, dealing in everything from scraps to night soil. (It helps that for many things he's paid twice- once to cart it away, and once to deliver it to people that can use whatever it is.) By the time of Going Postal he is one of the richest men in the city. Then he decides to invest in the newly invented steam railway and becomes the Disc's first rail baron.

As you win tournaments, you get bling, like cars, a new house, your own personal basketball court... but the challenge is that to keep it all, you have to win it all. And the producers of the show are biased against you because if you lose, they get everything that would have been yours. The sequel, NBA Ballers: Phenom, has a similar plot. You start as a no-name baller living out of his car. Depending on your decisions and performance, you can either end up becoming a hip-hop mogul or a professional basketball player.

Rags to Riches / int_5425ce75	comment	The plot of pretty much every Grand Theft Auto game involves a small-time criminal going to the top. The worst example is definitely San Andreas, where CJ starts off as a gangbanger in a small ghetto with nothing but the clothes on his back and a bicycle, and within less than a year (In game time. In real time, people have completed the game in a day or less.) becomes a millionaire, manager to one of the greatest rappers in the world, owner of various properties, including an airfield and a share in a casino, and literally controls the entire state of San Andreas. Rockstar has stated that they were tired of the implausibility of these plots, hence their decision to not rehash them in Grand Theft Auto IV. They did have Franklin in Grand Theft Auto V who pretty much goes from Rags to Riches like CJ as well, but that game had multiple protagonists and they (along with various other characters) were all Deconstructions of how GTA protagonists were portrayed.

(Answer: They really aren't that benevolent. Lucio's freedom fighter shenanigans started because of Vishkar oppressing his ghetto)

Rags to Riches / int_6ed7a5ec	comment	Game of Thrones universe: Game of Thrones: Davos grew up in Flea Bottom as the son of a crabber, worked his way up to smuggler captain, became a knight for smuggling Stannis food, and is now King Stannis' Consigliere and was even made his Hand. Stannis even tells him, "You'll be the first crabber's son to ever be the hand of the King." All this before he even learns how to read. Littlefinger worked his way up from the very lowest of the nobility to Lord of Harrenhal and consort to the Lady of the Vale through his skill at moneymaking and Xanatos Speed Chess. Xaro Xhoan Daxos rose from a penniless immigrant to one of the foremost men in Qarth. Bronn begins the series as a grubby sellsword in the Riverlands and successively becomes Lord Commander of the City Watch, a knight, and finally is set to marry into a lesser noble house. The marriage deal is reneged upon by Cersei, although Jaime promises Bronn a better marriage when they return from Dorne. By the end, he's Lord of Highgarden, Lord Paramount of the Reach, and King Bran's Master of Coin. Janos Slynt, a butcher's son, rose to Lord Commander of the City Watch and then Lord of Harrenhal until Tyrion banished him to the Wall. A famed Westerlands story tells of how Lann the Clever, patriarch of House Lannister, managed to swindle the ruling House Casterly out of their castle of Casterly Rock. The Cleganes' grandfather was the kennelmaster serving Lord Tytos, who knighted him for saving his life from a lioness. House of the Dragon: Mysaria went from a youth as a Sex Slave to Prince Daemon Targaryen's courtesan, and years later she has worked herself up to a wealthy and influential figure within the King's Landing underworld, wearing fine threads, living in a large house and operating a massive network of spies.

In the non-canon High Chaos ending of Dishonored 2, he even takes the throne of the Isles for himself. Dishonored 2 has a much more classical example in Aramis Stilton, who started off as an immigrant miner, but his people skills and tech know-how got him so rich that he was eventually able to buy out the very mines he worked in. Despite his attempts to fit in with the rich and powerful of Karnaca, however, the high society has never accepted him (except for the late Duke Theodanis, who was his secret lover).

In the TV series, Stannis tells him, "You'll be the first crabber's son to ever be the Hand of the King." All this before he even learns how to read.

There's a town called Windfall Island which contains a rich man and a poor man, both of whose daughters have been kidnapped by the Big Bad. You rescue the girls about halfway through the game, and their fathers switch wealth (the rich man spends his fortune trying to rescue his daughter, while the poor man makes his fortune overnight by selling rare necklaces his daughter brought back home after being rescued. They even move in to the rich family's old home). The formerly poor man even says that he's dreamed his entire life of taking part in this trope, while the formerly rich man doesn't seem upset about losing all of his money because his daughter has returned and that's everything that matters to him.

She is rescued by Switzerland and adopted as his little sister, and is now one of the richest countries in the world. For that matter, Swiss himself. Liechtenstein mentions that his own economic situation was not the best when he took her in due to the war and the GD, but some decades later he's living in a Big Fancy House with her and is a quite more wealthy nation. (Not that he spends a lot, though.) Also the Netherlands. He's seen as a rather poor and struggling teenage nation (while his younger sister Belgium is a Child Prodigy businesswoman), then he's seen under Spain's wing (that he's not too happy about), and later he has become quite the overseas empire... and a stoic, penny-pinching Non-Idle Rich. Luxembourg, Netherlands' younger brother, is a case of this; at first his status as a Non-Action Guy meant he was often bullied and pushed around by stronger countries, but his admiration of the Netherlands meant that he decided to emulate his ways, and he then captured all of Europe's finances.

Tehol Beddict came from a very prominent but impoverished family and worked his way up to become one of the richest men in the country due to his business genius. He then gave up his fortune because he was disgusted with the debt-slavery system the country runs on, but not without causing an economic crash that saw many moneylenders kill themselves. He then does it again during the course of Midnight Tides and Reaper's Gale, becoming insanely rich through fake companies while living in a hovel, then letting the economy crash to undermine Lether's new, even more oppressive regime. This time around, though, this leads to him being hailed as a hero by the common people, who make him king.

Bronn begins the series as a grubby sellsword in the Riverlands and successively becomes Lord Commander of the City Watch, a knight, and finally is set to marry into a lesser noble house. The marriage deal is reneged upon by Cersei, although Jaime promises Bronn a better marriage when they return from Dorne. By the end, he's Lord of Highgarden, Lord Paramount of the Reach, and King Bran's Master of Coin. Janos Slynt, a butcher's son, rose to Lord Commander of the City Watch and then Lord of Harrenhal until Tyrion banished him to the Wall. A famed Westerlands story tells of how Lann the Clever, patriarch of House Lannister, managed to swindle the ruling House Casterly out of their castle of Casterly Rock.

She first befriends the three boys of the Andree clan (Anthony, Stear, and Archie), and later she's adopted into the Andrees per the orders of one of the leaders, Great-Uncle William. (Actually the identity of the fourth young man of the clan, Albert, the uncle of the three mentioned boys.) However, Candy becomes the Rebellious Princess of the clan, refusing to bend over to the aristocrats and then deciding to become a nurse without their support. A more straightforward case would be Annie, Candy's "adopted sister". She was adopted by the rich Brighton family several years before, and the Brightons keep this as a secret since they're afraid that the already pathologically shy and insecure Annie will be ostracized and bullied. (This turns out to be true, unfortunately). It takes Annie several years to fully develop into a stronger, more self-assured person.

Unable to take herself so seriously anymore, she stops acting so ladylike and bitchy and starts plowing fields for fun, climbing trees, making friends with lower-ranked nobles and commoners, and so on, much to the exasperation of several nobles around her, especially her mother. While she may call herself Catarina and recognize Catarina's parents as her own, she's still basically that middle-class tomboy called the "Monkey Girl". Her adoptive younger brother Keith is a distant relative from the Claes branch family whose bastardry and his uncontrolled magic end up as a source of pain in his formative years. And should the events of the game have unfolded, his time when he is adopted to the main branch in which he is also treated like crap by Catarina and her mother. His strong earth magic allows him to be adopted by Duke Claes to become the duchy's next heir after Catarina is engaged with Geordo, risking the Claes house of losing its heir. It's heavily implied that Maria Campbell, a commoner unlike the two examples above, will end up having higher status and fortune due to her genius intellect, pleasant personality, and her rare light magic. It's even noted by Sirius/Raphael, who like Maria is a commoner who wields magic and is also an example of this trope, of how foolish nobles are for abusing their power and throwing their weight on her when she's slated to elevate to a status that is equal to the ruling house of Sorcier by working at the Ministry of Magic in a few years. Even in the unaltered timeline, she will end up in this trope by marrying her chosen Love Interest (who are all members of the nobility) if she achieves the Good Ending route.

Rags to Riches / int_bca72091	comment	Animal Crossing: Tom Nook is a more somber example. He left to go to the city to earn money, promising to never lose his way but came back the Tom Nook we're most familiar with. In a sense, the player character starts off with virtually nothing but the clothes on his or her back. As you continue to play though, you'll make a lot of bells. Some of it will go to Tom Nook, but you'll eventually end up with a mansion full of stuff if you keep up with the payments. Animal Crossing: New Horizons has this for the game's entire setting. You start off on a Deserted Island occupied only by yourself, Nook and his two employees, an airport run by two dodos, and two other residents, with nearly everyone roughing it in tents. As you progress through the game and tame the island, the community grows, permanent homes are built, infrastructure is put in place, and the formerly-deserted island grows into a community just like in previous games.

Most of her things are in boxes, and she sleeps on a mattress on the floor. She describes her feelings on seeing the Boston office of Dimity's American attorneys for the first time: "Great, I thought, Willis & Willis Meets the Little Match Girl." After coming into her inheritance, she at first displays a certain reluctance to spend money, but eventually is found consigning her old wardrobe to Oxfam in favour of items like silk-lined custom trousers, handmade Italian boots, and a sumptuous black cashmere swing coat.

Rags to Riches / int_cebe8b96	comment	French tenor Roberto Alagna is the son of Sicilian immigrants who moved to Paris in the 1950s, and he often busked and sang in Parisian cabarets when he was a teenager. Even when he switched to opera, he was mostly self-taught. After winning the Luciano Pavarotti International Voice Competition in 1988, Alagna made his professional debut as Alfredo Germont in Verdi's La traviata with the Glyndebourne touring company, which led him to sing with various European companies. His breakthrough, however, came in 1994, when he sang the role of RomÃ©o in Gounod's RomÃ©o et Juliette in Covent Garden. Since then, he has sung with numerous prominent opera companies, has become an advocate for restoring neglected French operas, and has been awarded a Chevalier de la LÃ©gion d'honneur in 2008.

Another prisoner, Abbe Faria, makes Dantes his heir, if he can ever manage to escape; as a "forgotten prisoner" from the time of Napoleon's attempt to retake the throne of France, parole is impossible. But Dantes does escape, and he finds the hidden treasure Faria had directed him to. The sale of six of the diamonds, at a somewhat reduced price to avoid too many questions, is enough to buy him a small yacht-type ship. And that's just the beginning.

Now, she's on the hunt for someone wealthy to marry, so she won't have to fear returning to a life of poverty. Ashe and his siblings were orphaned after their parents succumbed to illness, leaving them poor and forcing Ashe to commit thievery to survive. He was eventually found and adopted, along with his siblings, by the Kingdom noble Lonato. So thankful is Ashe to Lonato for rescuing him and his siblings from poverty that it secured his Undying Loyalty. Such that, in any story rout but the Blue Lions', Rhea's execution of Lonato for dissent following the death of Lonato's biological son is what drives Ashe, in turn, to rebel.

Rags to Riches / int_f323730f	comment	In Citizen of the Galaxy: The main character, Thorby, goes from literal rags (as a beggar and slave) at the start of the book to infamous riches (when he's returned to his wealthy dead parents' estate) at the end. The wealth ends up being a burden as much as a wish fulfillment: although he still gets to fight slavers, he does so in the most effective way via decisions and investigations behind a desk rather than in the most cathartic way via action and excitement on a ship.

Rags to Riches / int_f42ccd4f	comment	Rimworld: The default "Crashlanded" starting scenario is a collective example if the player does well enough. Three complete strangers (some of whom may be an inversion at first) clamber out of their lifepods in the wilderness with nothing but the clothes they stand up in and some extremely basic survival gear can bootstrap their way from a crude wooden shack and a few vegetable patches to a thriving town with a population of over a hundred and all modern comforts and conveniences. The Naked Brutality start has the character start out with nothing, not even clothing.

Rags to Riches / int_f634206e	comment	Ratatouille: Depending on how much you read into Collette's claim that ratatouille is a "peasant dish". In any case, the flashback to Ego's childhood at the very least strongly implies that he comes from if not an outright poor, then at least a modest background.

Officially leading a Private Military Company Parabellum, that takes kingdoms as clients, operating several side ventures like tourism and trade.

Rags to Riches / int_fda9c8b	comment	Tom Branson of Downton Abbey is introduced as the family chauffeur but eventually marries Sybil, the youngest daughter of Lord Grantham. While they initially leave for a simpler life in Ireland, circumstances force them to return to Downton and Tom is slowly but reluctantly accepted into the family. Cue the initial awkwardness of a noble family having dinner with the man who used to work for them, served by his former co-workers. The series also deconstructs this type of scenario, as Tom was introduced as a highly political socialist who despises nobility, only to reluctantly become part of it himself.
