Do you remember him? Sammy Griner, the boy from the famous “success kid” meme, turned 18 last Monday (23).

To celebrate the occasion, his mother, Laney Robertson Griner, shared a recent photo of the young man on her official Instagram, congratulating him on his coming of age.
“My baby turned 18 yesterday. Happy birthday, Sam“, the woman wrote in the post’s caption.
The image that became the meme was taken when Sammy was just 11 months old, and its success led Laney to register the copyright in 2012. In 2014, the family used the meme to raise funds for Sammy’s father, Justin Griner’s, kidney treatment, raising over R$ 100,000, which enabled his recovery.
