You would never guess that billionaire pop star, Madonna, has immediate family members who are homeless. But the superstar, who’s fame has spanned three decades and is currently worth an estimated $1 billion, has a brother who has been living on the Michigan streets. Madonna admits that she was never close with many of her siblings and some of them have suffered from substance abuse.
