Comedian Trevor Noah Shows Off His Beautiful Mom

We recently celebrated Mother’s Day and we saw all the stars – from Black Coffee, Nadia Nakai, Maps Maponyane, Thando Thabethe and many others – take to social media to show off their beautiful mothers. One superstar who also showed off his beloved mother is comedian and host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah. Trevor, who hardly shares snaps of his family, took to social media to pen a lengthy and unfeigned letter to mommy dearest.

Trevor reflected on the almost unbearable challenges and responsibilities his family faced. From having to care for her family while navigating other obstacles that black women in South Africa are facing.

“Whenever I’d see my mom carrying insanely heavy things on her head I’d always think two things- One, “that’s so damn cool, I can’t even lift that with my arms.” And two, “I feel like this is a metaphor for her journey in life”- She lived her entire life with a giant burden on her head, from her family, her society and even her country. But instead of allowing this burden to stunt her growth, she strengthened her neck, improved her balance and practiced walking tall despite that load.” Posted Trevor. He also attributed a large part of his success to his mother.

“I can’t believe she got our family to where it is today with the obstacles she faced in life. The same way she would carry 50kg on her head while having a casual conversation, my mom carried our family every single day. Raising me, teaching me and inspiring me to grow into the best possible version of myself.

“She’s proudly not perfect but always striving for perfection and for me she was the most perfect mother she could be.”

Trevor also wished a happy Mother’s Day to all moms in the world facing difficult challenges.

“Happy Mother’s Day Mom, and to all the other mothers out there carrying all that extra sh*t on their heads!
Ps: @tash_harduth, nice job trying to maintain eye contact when you were really stressed that bag was about to crush you at any moment.”

Comedian Trevor Noah sells his Los Angeles mansion for R351 million

South African born comedian Trevor Noah has reportedly sold his glamorous mega-mansion in Los Angeles for a $21.7 million. That’s a whopping R351 million.

The star made headlines last year when he bought the house for $20.5 million (R279 million at the time).

The ultra-modern double-storey mansion apparently sits on a 1.31-acre property with a breathtaking view of LA, “infinity pool, 500-gallon saltwater aquarium, home theatre and ultra-private VIP suite”.

According to Variety, the house was never available on the open market, so it’s not clear what changes Trevor made to it before selling.
This wasn’t the only house in Trevor’s impressive portfolio, as he also owns a fancy penthouse in New York, from where he’s been shooting “The Daily Show” during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Trevor shelled out about $11.49 million (R130m at the time) in 2017 for the ultra-luxurious apartment in Manhattan.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the apartment has impressive views of Midtown and Downtown Manhattan from the master bedroom and terrace.
The iconic Empire State Building is also visible from a “cast iron tub in the master bath”.

Earlier this month, Trevor made it onto the Fortune 40 Under 40 list of the most influential people in the world.

The prestigious list highlights some of the world’s most powerful emerging leaders in the categories of finance, technology, health care, government and politics, and media and entertainment.

The entertainment category mixes established stars with some of the brightest emerging talents and includes the likes of “Black Panther” director Ryan Coogler, actress Zendaya, “Insecure“ star Issa Rae, Beyoncé and Mzansi’s very own Trevor Noah.

Reflecting on Noah’s career, the publication hailed him as “one of the most visible comedians in the US and beyond”.
