A University of Johannesburg student got picked up in style when an approximately R4 million Mercedes-Benz from the G63 series pulled up to the institution. Car lovers and social media users admired the wealth and assumed who could be behind the wheel.

TikTok user @nels.logi uploaded a video on his account on 13 August, 2025 showing the luxury vehicle coming to a stop to fetch the student and taking its time before pulling away.

@nels.logi, referring to how wealthy the owner of the car was and assuming they had no worries about raising children in the current economy, said in the post:

Speaking about the student, @qhanii_festile added in the comment section:

"She's so unbothered."
