Roxy Jacenko is a self-made woman who can boats hosting seminars that earn her $50,000 an hour.

But it wasn't always that way, as the now 38-year-old was once a McDonald's worker who barely graduated high school as a teenager in 1998. 

With no hope of entering university with her low marks, the ambitious blonde took on two jobs that were far from the glamorous role she holds today.

After high school, Roxy was developing photos for the local Kodak store and by night working as a florist at her local flower shop, The Flower Man, by day.

Self-described as a 's**t student' Roxy tried TAFE but didn't complete her fashion manufacturing course.

During a recent speaking tour in Sydney, she even joked: 'I was a s**t student in school and I never read novels and now I have three. I have read them, don't worry.'

Though she grew up in a wealthy family and lived in a waterside mansion, Roxy was determined to find her own way in business after being 'fired' from her mother's company at age 18.

'Then I became a PR and marketing manager, which was funny because I had no experience in marketing, but I had a business card, so I thought I was a rock star,' she told Perth Now.
