Date of Birth: April 19, 1948

Many mothers of successful kids are popular because of their children but it’s different with this model – she is star in her own right! She has been in the modelling industry for over five decades and has been a frequent face on top magazines like Time.

She was a twin and was born into a very adventurous family. Her parents were always moving from one city to the other and in 1950, they moved to Pretoria, South Africa. It was there Haldeman (her maiden name) married Errol whom she met in high school. They got married in 1970 and in less than a decade, had three kids and divorced.

The glamorous silver-haired model had the support of her twin sister Kaye Rive and their kids were literally raised together. They all continued to live in Africa until Elon decided to move to Canada after graduating from high school. Maye moved along with her son and that was the start of her journey to North American fame.

He noticed quite early that his first son was the introvert thinker; he always asked deep questions that pointed to the root of things and that was how Errol realised his baby boy was different.

Kimbal was the perfect child growing up but his brother, the Paypal co-founder was the harder one. He is not only famous for being a Musk but for creating the Kitchen, a group of farm-to-table restaurants. They source food directly from local farmers and bring it to the table of many homes.
