His Hollywood family is worth nearly $500 million but the troubled homeless stepson of Barbra Streisand whiles away his days sitting on benches and rummaging through public trash cans.
Jess Brolin, son of actor James Brolin and brother to Josh, was recently photographed picking through garbage where he lives in Ojai, California.
After losing his $800 per month apartment in 2011, the 41-year-old now lives on the streets and sleeps in vacant lots not 80 miles from his millionaire showbiz family's home.

For those of us who have family members who are addicted to drugs, and simply destroy every relationship they have ever had to feed their drug use. You have to let them reach rock bottom. Obviously, he’s not admitted to himself that this is rock bottom.
I have a brother who is a homeless person, he is destructive, and drugs come before all else.
Let him rot.

What did Obola’s brother do to him?
Didn’t recognize his greatness, of course. :)
It could also be that they really aren’t brothers.
“If I had millions I would tell my brothers and sisters to work for me and I would pay them doubleI also have an idiot brother I would not give a dime to, but this guy didn’t look like he deserved that treatment.”
“If I was rich none of my family would live in poverty...”
“I also have an idiot brother I would not give a dime to”
I don’t understand your posts ...
Sounds like Barack’s brother.
You know, the president who tells us to embrace Marxist redistribution because “we” are “our” brother’s keeper?
Look at how The Oprah treated her stepmother...
The Oprah is a vile pig.
A stipend administered by an attorney with strings attached that cannot possibly be misused would not be a strain for these people to provide. You at least try to take care of your own, no matter how stupid or undeserving they may be, imho.
Is this the brother that wrote the book? I believe he designed her costumes, fitted them as well as designed for her cast members, traveled (economy) all over the world to help her and then got dumped.
You must not have family like others I have heard of.
There are people who, if given printing presses to print their own money, would drink the ink, burn the paper to keep warm, and allow the presses to rust into inoperability.
There are some people who are simply so ignorant that they are incapable of not being in poverty, think very highly of their own judgments, and blame others for their own failings.
His family thinks it is someone else’s, the givernments, job to take care of him not theirs
Dumpster divin’ is good eatin’!
Just make sure you hit the Burger King and McDonalds dumpsters before midnight. All the good stuff is gone by 2AM.
Taxpayers put out how much money for this kind of thing? Maybe if that money wasn’t eaten up by ‘overhead’ (friends, family of officials) some of it could reach the homeless.
I could go for a bearclaw right now.
Maybe they are.
People, people who need people.
are the luckiest people in the world

He’s probably better off on the streets than having to take a room at Bab’s house.
He doesn’t look bad off, his clothes are clean, he is shaven and has a haircut, he spends money on quarts of Gatorade, he appears to get plenty of snacks and food items, probably bought from the quick stops which is all costly.
He appears to have a maintenance income of some amount, perhaps a few hundred dollars deposited regularly into his ATM account.
Yup. They are adults after all. And even if you wanted to force them, you couldn’t.
That is why substance abuse is such a bad thing. I replaces all else — relationships, family, new family/wife/husband children, career, etc.
And when they finally get it under control and are clean, life has left them behind...years before. People that they knew, family that they knew have all moved on. Precious years forever gone.
