A woman known as Ibubeleye Mcdonald is the real definition of success as she accomplished even more than anyone thought was possible in her life.
Years ago, she was battered and frustrated. She even once took to the street with cardboard to beg for jobs.
On Thursday, January 21, the woman celebrated her birthday with a mansion as a way to mark the turning of a new age.
Ibubelye said that no man gave her the money to build the house as she made it big through the hard work of trading Bitcoin and Forex.
She added that she never used her body either, saying everything was made possible through the help of God.
A part of her Facebook post read:
"I Ibubeleye, built this house from start to finish with my own money. No man, no woman gave it to me, I didn't use my body, I used my skills, my brains and with encouragement from good friends and family and the grace of God, it was made possible..."
