Early Life
Ann Marks was born into poverty in the slums of London in 1929. Her father was a drunkard and her mother was a prostitute. Marks grew up in a home with a broken family, a bad neighborhood, and a serious father who didn't like her. Marks spent her childhood living in and out of orphanages and foster homes. She was often hungry, cold, and alone.
Despite the challenges she faced, Marks was determined to make a better life for herself. She worked hard in school and eventually earned a scholarship to attend university. After graduating from university, Marks got a job as a teacher. She worked hard and quickly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming a principal.
Business Career

The company was a success, and Marks soon became a wealthy woman. She used her wealth to help others, donating money to charities and supporting educational programs.
