He wrote Carrie and most of his early short stories in the laundry room of a trailer he lived in and on breaks while he was working at an industrial laundry, while his wife supplemented their income with a job at Dunkin Donuts. He was raised by a single mother on welfare. He lives in a middle-class neighborhood in Maine. He donates millions of dollars a year to charities around his community. Yeah, he's got a mansion in Florida, the guy's worth 400 million.
