AceShowbiz - Carrie Bradshaw's splendid lifestyle was far from Sarah Jessica Parker's childhood situation. Born as the fourth child out of her eight siblings, she was raised by her mother and stepfather, who was often unemployed. The actress has opened up about living on welfare and not being able to celebrate festivities because they were poor.
"I remember being poor," she told The Times. "We didn't have electricity sometimes. We didn't have Christmases sometimes, or we didn't have birthdays sometimes, or the bill collectors came or the phone company would call and say, 'We're shutting your phones off.' " Sarah sometimes brought money home from song and dance performances to help the family stay afloat, but thanks to the success of her HBO series "Sex and the City", the 56-year-old now can enjoy the rest of her life not worrying about her finance with her approximately $150 million net worth.
