“You’re not getting any sleep or love or attention, you’re getting your butt kicked and you’re up before anyone fixing meals and cleaning.” “They push you to your limit and when you are so deprived and so hungry for everything, a little window opens up in your mind that when they do give you something you’re going to get it, understand it, appreciate it, and you’ll understand some of the mystical deeper meaning that starts to become available to you.”

Seagal went into the show business and turned out to be a successful star and his net worth is estimated to be over $1.6 million. He’s currently living in Russia and having the best time of his life.
