A five-year-old boy, Rahim Kurayev, from Chechnya, has been gifted a $36,000 white C180 model Mercedes Benz by Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov.
Rahim Kurayev who is also known as the “Chechen Schwarzenegger” by the Russian media reportedly did 4,105 push-ups in two hours and 25 minutes and dedicated the achievement to the Chechen leader, Ramzan Kadyrov.
In the video, Kurayev told the Chechen leader that he could do 5,000 push-ups, before proceeding to demonstrate his abilities on the hood of the car.
The Chechen leader gave Kurayev the keys to the white Benz and told him:
“Let your father drive you around on this, you’re worthy of riding a white Mercedes.”
