Are there any post Biblical Saints who were born poor rather than were rich and decided to be poor?

You probably needed to have fairly wealthy parents to get a good education and then become a missionary, priest head Nun or whatever. Are there any saints who were born into abject poverty even slavery yet still rose to become saints? More interested in early Christianity say the Roman era or Medieval times, but if you can't find them am also interested in more modern ones.
