In 2007, Sam Griner gained internet fame as the ‘Success Kid’ when his mother shared a photo of him, then 11-months-old, attempting to eat sand. The image quickly became a popular meme, symbolizing both success and frustration. Since then, it has been widely shared on social media, licensed for commercial use, and even utilized by the White House to advocate for immigration reform. Additionally, Sam has participated in philanthropic efforts, such as raising funds for his father’s kidney transplant through crowdfunding.
