What The Face of The 'Success' Memes Looks Like Now

His is the face that launched a thousand memes. As a baby, Sammy Griner became a viral meme off the back of one clenched-fist photo taken by his mother at the beach.

At just 11-months-old, the Jacksonville Florida native was dubbed the "success kid" after his mother posted his picture on Flickr and it spread across the internet as a meme.

Now, a new photo of Sammy, now ten, has been posted by ThosWhoDoVoodoo to Imgur where it has been viewed more than two million times.

In Griner's latest post, he stands next to his mother as she holds up a clay model of her son striking his infamous pose. The caption reads: "This is Success kid."

After his baby picture became a meme, his family utilised the attention to help raise money for his father Justin's kidney transplant, ABC reported.

According to Griner's mother, Laney, the family have been "thrilled" by the positivity from the meme going viral.

"There's not a single thing we regret about Success Kid. It's pretty crazy how it all happened. I still can't wrap my head around it."
