11. Success Kid
Sam Griner, better known to many as “Success Kid,” was just 11 months old when he pumped his fist in just the perfect way, inspiring millions to celebrate life’s little victories. The pictures were taken on the beach when he was a baby when his mom Laney Griner got a new camera. Griner’s viral fame was used in the best way possible when his father Jason required a kidney transplant and donors from all over the world pitched in to raise over $100,000 to help “Success Dad” out.
