Was Marilyn Monroe rich when she was little?

Answer 1

Absolutely not.

Marilyn (born Norma Jean Baker) was given up by her mother, Gladys Baker Mortensen,when Norma was but twelve days old, simply because Gladys could not afford to raise her.As Gladys was mentally unstable, Norma was constantly shuttled between family friends, an orphanage, and several foster homes. She was pretty much penniless until she married (at age 16) Jim Dougherty, a factory worker.
