Maye Musk is a single mother of three 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren at the age of 31.

Mrs. Maye Musk raised three successful 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren: billionaire Elon Musk, film director Tosca Musk and restaurateur and businessman Kimbal Musk.

Maye was fortunate to have wonderful parents. She and her parents emigrated from Canada to South Africa by private jet. When she was 14, the family wandered the Kalahari Desert in search of the “Lost City.” It was these adventurous parents who instilled in Maye the confidence and passion to challenge herself as she entered the world of fashion.

At the age of 15, the beautiful Maye became a model, participated in the Miss South Africa contest and entered the final round. She met engineer Errol Musk at the age of 21 and fell in love. Maye decided to give up everything to become Errol’s wife and gave 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to 3 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren within 10 years.

The age of 31 was a turning point in Maye’s life. She and her ex-husband – Errol divorced after 10 years of marriage. Coming out of this marriage, Maye was left empty-handed even though her ex-husband’s family was very wealthy.

Mrs. Maye Musk possessed impressive beauty when she was young.

She was an aspiring model and participated in beauty pageants before getting married at the age of 21.

This time back in Canada was a real challenge in Maye’s life. To earn money to raise her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren, she worked many jobs at the same time. However, the great mother never neglected her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren’s development. She struggled with all kinds of jobs from grocery store clerk, laundry, university staff, to teaching at a nutrition school and modeling.

“After my divorce, I struggled to make ends meet and raise three 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren,” Maye told the Huffington Post. “Poverty makes you work hard.” This is something she taught her three talented 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren throughout their growing up years.

Maye’s extraordinary will to live helped her and her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren overcome difficult times in life. At the age of 41, Maye continued to work tirelessly to earn money to pay for her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren’s school fees. She also always taught her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren to work hard and strive in life.

The difficult and challenging years of being a single mother taught this strong-willed woman an extraordinary will to live and always dare to face all difficulties.

She pursued a modeling career after giving 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to three 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren and to this day, at the age of 72, she has not given up on her passion.

While working to earn a living, Maye was still very patient in raising her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren. She also went to school to broaden her knowledge and seek new job opportunities. Maye studied nutrition at the University of Pretoria in South Africa and received two master’s degrees, one from Orange State University, South Africa and one from the University of Toronto, Canada.

Maye’s efforts have paid off. All three of her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren are very successful, including Elon Musk – one of the richest and most famous billionaires in the world. At the age of 72, when her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren are grown up and have their own careers, Maye still works hard, pursuing her favorite modeling job with the desire to maintain her youthfulness and share her experiences with everyone around her.

What makes Maye Musk even happier is that she not only inspires older women, but also gives hope to young girls. “Young girls come up to me on the street and tell me that my career makes them believe that if I can work hard and be successful at 70, then they can achieve the same things at 25,” she said.
