John Paul DeJoria: I was homeless and sleeping in car

[@sebastianshaw210]

What an admirable man. He never gave up at whatever life threw at him, turned his life around. Respect Sir.

[@Harihar_Patel]

This is a man of great character, his story is inspiring.

[@sebastianshaw210]

Much respect to JP. Life hit him hard but he bounced back.

[@patrickbarnes2686]

Love to interview Exwife right now lol

[@bludika]

Hahaha

[@surf3305]

John makes being homeless sound amazing 😂

[@ivanc9231]

I've been there too in 2 occasions never again ,you learn the true meaning of hustle when your down to your last dollar ,you can either get busy living or get busy dying

[@dee5903]

I admire him.hell of a character

[@rollsroyce7385]

deepak singh kandari yes indeed👍👍

[@jimmyfreeman5714]

This dude is the man!

[@lelocanuto5977]

I'm from Brazil, John Paul,his story is fantastic, you have make a film !!I'm a fun you !! man !!

[@alexmckenzie2954]

Being homeless in somewhere warm like California is a lot easier than in the North. The biggest challenge for the homeless in Canada is not freezing to death.

[@rollsroyce7385]

Alex McKenzie true

[@EverythingEverywable]

the homeless in California have it goooood lmao Its cold as fuck in Toronto for more than half the year and a result we do have initatives and services that provide shelter/food/basic needs because of the fatal weather.

[@gardensofthegods]

Yeah but it was probably better to be homeless in California back in the day when he was homeless instead of now where it's a crazy place .

[@yryu2]

Inspirational.

[@CMRinehart]

I had a wife who kept the money and never paid the bills for months. Not even the rent.

[@gardensofthegods]

Can you tell us what happened when you finally learned the truth ...

[@CMRinehart]

@@gardensofthegods Her history was leaving guys high and dry without an explanation after using them. Fortunately I was only with the scum 2 years.

[@gardensofthegods]

@@CMRinehart well I'm sure you feel it was two years too many ... count your blessings that she didn't have a life insurance policy on you and try to kill you . Glad you survived her nasty ways .

[@gardensofthegods]

@@CMRinehart as a cautionary tale for others can you tell us if looking back there were any red flags before you married her that she was on the take ?

[@CMRinehart]

@@gardensofthegods She was good at playing the perfect woman at the beginning (like most do), then she slowly started getting bossy, mouthy, and argumentative. A lot. Then came the threatening to tear up what I cared about the most, my tennis racquets. Total vixen behavior.

[@BolermieWorldwide]

what an amazing story and man, i would love to sit around a table with him :)

[@gardensofthegods]

True but it also would be really fun to go riding Harleys with him ... or even riding on some great back roads in a car that was hugging the road and doing the chatting while looking at the scenery ... then you go with him to that place for the margaritas and the snacks .

[@cloudsleyfalconbridge]

Wow! They don't have auto-shop in high school anymore.

[@LucifersDeathSquad]

I think they have crayons in high school now. Thats about it.

[@forc3ofxf3ar51]

Cloudsley Falconbridge some do

[@jesuschristthalordbitch6890]

Yes they do your high school just sucks

[@cloudsleyfalconbridge]

Jesus Christ tha Lord bitch shut up Jesus. U didn't even go to school.

[@patrickbarnes2686]

Cloudsley Falconbridge sad because schools don’t make money they cost money that’s y there is no more auto or construction shop in school anymore.. Greed

[@nickbarber6513]

So cool

[@df4196]

2:31 Graham you better watch your hands or else your thigh will metoo you

[@jamilshekinski]

Self-made man.

[@jwoods9659]

He had help, that why your always to be kind to people and build up a network. He did his best you can't give up. I made it so far from kindness of people and not giving up.

[@kbtitan2464]

If this guy can make it. You can make it.

[@livingsimpleproperties4132]

Is the ex in this situation still entitled to half his fortune before the fact?

[@Johnniewalker78]

He had a car he lived in. He wasn’t homeless he was houseless. There’s a whole movement to strive to live this way. Also that ex-wife must be kicking herself for screwing over this future billionaire.

[@sebastianshaw210]

Johnnie Walker yeah sure I am sure you would have become a billionaire too

[@__________________________6451]

" In 1980, he formed John Paul Mitchell Systems with hairdresser Paul Mitchell and a loan for $700 and while living in a 20-year-old Rolls Royce automobile.[11]" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Paul_DeJoria#Career **Keywords "Rolls Royce automobile"

[@elebake]

He lived in a box. He wasn't homeless, he was houseless. There's a whole movement to strive to live outdoors. I subtly knock people down.

[@gardensofthegods]

@@elebake Austin Baker , most people consider that Homeless . Many of those people living in their vehicles and vans felt they had no choice . I looked at a number of those van life videos a couple years ago . Some of them were really happy when they were finally able to live in a house and not their vehicle anymore .

[@thomascapitalmgt]

Wow

[@ameliaroque3854]

Today you'll get a ticket, opportunities are not as available.

[@daltonjones2389]

Excuses are the nails that build the house of failure

[@gardensofthegods]

Yes it's true I remember reading comments of people living in their vehicles talkin about how they look for people who are living in their vehicles so they can give them fines , very depressing some of the comments about 6 years ago ... I can only imagine how much worse it is now for many people since covid .

[@josephwelch6972]

Jp is a fucking bad ass!!! KUDOS!!!

[@bristleconepinus2378]

i think God loves him.

[@tsea8352]

Who the hell cares.

[@ShamuAquatics]

Now this dude is a billionaire and still looks homeless

[@peterdaye5023]

It's better to keep your mouth closed and look stupid than to open it and prove it

[@Basillio11]

The cliche rich guy story that always involves being homeless and sleeping in his car. Like this guy had zero friends or family to help? Gtfoh!

[@__________________________6451]

He was sleeping in a 20-year-old Rolls Royce automobile en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Paul_DeJoria#Career

[@1Willy1]

Have you actual watched all the video?

[@gardensofthegods]

What it said in Wikipedia about him sleeping in the twenty-year-old Rolls-Royce I think happened later ... putting together all his stories I'm under the impression he was sort of homeless more than once . If you listen to what he said in this interview he will tell you he was too proud to ask family or friends for help and he knew that if he had gone to his mom's house she would have loved to have had him and her grandson there . He says it was stupid that he didn't ask for help .
