Harry Houdini, born Erik Weisz, came from a modest background. His family was of Hungarian-Jewish descent, and they faced financial difficulties after immigrating to the United States. Houdini's father worked as a rabbi and struggled to provide for the family, which contributed to Houdini's later drive for success and wealth in his career as a magician and escapologist. Ultimately, Houdini became one of the highest-paid performers of his time, significantly elevating his family's financial status.
