“Learn From Him”: MySol’s Throwback Picture Before Fame and Riches Earns Him Respect, SA Impressed

• A rare throwback photo of mining tycoon MySol surfaced, contrasting his humble beginnings with his current billionaire lifestyle
• The comparison was shared on X, leaving viewers inspired by his massive glow-up from sitting on the boot of a car to owning custom luxury cars
• Social media users praised determination and focus, while others debated whether having a supportive partner was the real secret to reaching his level of success

Before the quarter-billion-rand mansions and custom-built supercars, North West businessman MySol was just a young man with a vision and an old car boot to sit on.

The post was shared by X user @sfisomahla14431 on 12 May 2026, where many social media users praised the man for his hard work and success.

The creator posted an old photo of the businessman next to one taken during his recent birthday. In the picture from many years ago, the mining tycoon is seen sitting on the boot of an old car with a friend. The creator, X user @sfisomahla14431, jokingly captioned the post by saying it is clear that the wealthy man made it without any woman's help, humorously noting that some men are too busy paying girlfriend allowances to get ahead.
