AceShowbiz - Things were not always that bad for young Jim Carrey, at least not until his father lost his accounting job. From then on, his family went through a lot of stuff, from being forced out of their home and moved into a farmhouse on factory grounds to living in a Volkswagen bus. When his mother became ill and bedridden, he quit school to care for her.
The Ontario-born comedian even had to work as a security guard and a janitor at age 15, before he made use of his skill to entertain his mom to enter the comedy circuit. His talent shone and he soon scored acting gigs, which led him to his breakthrough roles in 1994's movies "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective", "The Mask" and "Dumb and Dumber". His net worth is estimated at $180 million as of 2021.
