‘In 2005, I Had $1,700 Left’ — Steve Harvey Shares His Turning Point After Losing It All Twice In His Life

“I did not get on TV until i was 36. It took 26 years for that little piece of paper to ring true, that took a lot of faith,” Harvey expressed. “But in there, in between there — the homelessness, the losing everything I ever earned, I’ve ever had — twice. I’ve lost everything twice. I lost it all when I was homeless. I lost it all again in 2005. I was zeroed out. In 2005, I had 1,700 dollars left.”

For him, learning to navigate those dark moments with ease play a huge factor in the man he is today.
