information is power and age ain’t
nothing but a number welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten child
prodigies at age two I took him out on a
course and he played a regulation course
nine holes which is part 36 and each out
of 48 for this list we’re focusing on
individuals who made a significant
impact on the world as children some are
also known for their achievements as
adults but we’re highlighting the
accomplishments of their early years
here absolute genius number 10
Kim Yong Yong by the time most children
his age were learning to construct
complete sentences this kid was dropping
in on physics classes at Han Yong
University Kim Yong Yong was so
incredibly smart that the Guinness Book
of World Records tabbed him as having
the highest IQ only to abandon the
category given his increasing
intelligence yeah damnit gum you’re
goddamn genius that’s the most
outstanding answer I’ve ever heard you
must have a got them IQ of 160 Kim had a
fondness for the written word and
painting as a child but decided to
accept a position with NASA where he
worked from the age of 8 to 16 today Kim
works in business planning but once upon
a time he was the child prodigy number 9
William James Sidis here’s a child
genius that was so dang smart he might
have told a few fibs just to amuse
himself born to Jewish Ukrainian parents
William James Sidis was raised in the
Big Apple and by the age of 8 he could
speak eight languages along with one
that he invented himself ray de la blah
blah blah Blee
see in 1909 he became the youngest
student ever to enroll at Harvard
University at 11 years old and
inadvertently shamed faculty with his
expertise in applied mathematics many of
citizens claims have been challenged
over the years but no one can deny that
he wrote four books as a kid and several
more under assumed names when he was
older he was the shooting star of
American academics in the early 20th
century but later settled for a life of
seclusion number 8 michael kearney
imagine a six month old informing you of
his ear infection well this kid did such
a thing during a visit to his
pediatrician and was so rambunctious
that his parents called him the
Tasmanian devil in fact his younger
sister was also a child prodigy which
might have been one of several reasons
that Michael kevin kearney decided to
dream big and graduate from the
University of South Alabama at age 10
when his friends were dealing with
junior high problems and bad acne
Michael was busy working on his master
thesis entitled kinetic isotope effects
of thymidine phosphorylase which would
undoubtedly make the average student say
um can you repeat the part of this stuff
where you said all about the things
number 7
Tanishq Abraham by the time it was 7
middle and high school materials were
boring for me so I begged my parents
again if I could take college classes
after receiving 3 degrees from American
River College this 11 year old said this
isn’t that big a deal for me and why
would it be in fact I want to finish my
PhD by the time I get my driver’s
license
Tanishq abraham was a member of Mensa
international at the age of four and his
younger sister joined him later I
started college
Vanel seven with a Cornell educated
father and a mother who’s a veterinarian
it’s safe to say that the Junior Abraham
has a fascination for academics and is
undoubtedly aware of his intellectual
bravado around to do a left kind of
canoe all his numbers from one to like
hundred he just jumps like from
kindergarten level to like third grade
level while parents homeschool their
kids for a variety of reasons
Tanishq was home-schooled because he was
simply bored with everything else that
happens when you’re a child prodigy okay
so why can’t you trust Adams why can’t
you trust Adams I don’t know
cuz they make up everything number six
ah crit jazz well my basic aim is to
remove all those screams decades from
now or perhaps in a few years the world
may know this prodigy as the child who
cured cancer after all a crit jazz well
performed his first surgery at seven
years of age and was making public
speeches on cancer research five years
later I was wedding dusted in nineteen
oh you kidding I think you should be
filming this II read Shakespeare and
Grey’s Anatomy as a child in India and
due to his international fame the young
doctor is all too familiar with the
spotlight and the concept of grace under
pressure some kids need college to
operate in the real world this kid just
needs a few tools his scientific
knowledge is very very sharp I’m pretty
very impressive so um
I’d say that he’s probably ahead of us
in most of his secret knowledge he’s an
ultimate number five
Tiger Woods when he was about six months
old I had this putter cut down and I
gave it to him it’s a toy he was born
Eldrick taunt woods but the world knows
him as tiger as one of the most iconic
athletes of all time
Tiger Woods came to prominence as a
miniature master of golf before he was
five years old rabbit right in there in
1978 he putted for Bob Hope and Jimmy
Stewart on the Mike Douglas show and at
the age of seven he was arguably the
most well known golfer in Orange County
California my competitiveness
that’s art as it sort of brings me
through in the clutch there was a time
when everybody expected Tiger Woods to
dominate the competition and that’s cuz
he’d been doing it since he was a
toddler I’d have to say that
Tigers potential is unlimited number
four Johann Sebastian Bach now we go
from one modern extravagant player to a
categorical classic in a time when white
wigs were all the rage there lived a
German child who learned music theory
from his family and local musicians if
they have been in the back they probably
would have been no further history of
music as we know it they would not have
been Mozart as we know him they would
not have been Beethoven as we know him
upon earning a scholarship at the age of
fourteen Johann Sebastian Bach was
introduced to European society and
further developed the skills and work
ethic that would make him perhaps the
most popular composer of all time he was
a young man a genius absolutely bubbling
with musical ideas today one can learn
piano on the Internet
however back in the 1690s this prodigy
had to figuratively feel the music and
let his fingers fly people who were
watching a defeated jörgen is insane my
god Hagen somebody plays so far number
three Ludwig von Beethoven this Austrian
found himself being marketed as a child
prodigy on local posters thanks to his
father johann von Beethoven was both a
father and mentor to this little piano
player and by 13 years old
young Ludwig was publishing his own
pieces
upon traveling to Vienna with hopes of
working with Mozart Mozart said watch
out for him
one day he’ll give the world something
to talk about the death of both Ludwig’s
mother and father took him back to Bonn
where he would establish himself as more
than just a child prodigy but as a
national treasure though he’d later go
back to Vienna of course number two
Pablo Picasso at the age of only 12
because I could already draw like this
before this Spanish artist forever
changed the conceptual guidelines of his
craft he developed his skills under the
guidance of his father in fact when the
Andalusian family moved to northwestern
Spain in 1891 the senior Picasso
realized that his offspring was the
better artist Salah was it father was a
very bad artist and I would imagine a
very good teacher like many child
prodigies Pablo Picasso enjoyed working
by his own set of rules and strayed from
formal teachings Picasso chose to paint
like this despite the fact that he could
paint like this by the time he was 16 he
was literally in a class by himself back
then and school is still in session
figuratively speaking through the works
he produced over the course of his
ninety-one years on earth
he’s encapsulating a whole century of
suffering and the way that Picasso does
that is by creating this massive mess of
mangled dismembered limbs as if the bulb
has actually dropped from the end just
gone off before we unveil our number one
pick here are some honorable mentions I
hope you don’t mind
my time
now these are the moves that as an 11
year old made hockey Scouts right across
the world gasps with amazement they just
could not understand how a player as
young as Wayne at 11 could have such
natural mood chahiye Oh algebra rational
numbers yo square roots she has it all
on the tip of her fingers precocious he
was he published his first book on the
conic sections in geometry at the age of
17
number 1 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart it is
unprecedented this talent to come from
wherever unafraid to be so perfect and
just to come out like that into to write
these works at such a young age what do
you call a child prodigy that other
child prodigies hope to learn from well
you can call him Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
he composed his first three pieces
within weeks of each other around the
age of four or five and he was known to
convey a general understanding of music
aside from his personal lessons by eight
Mozart wrote his first symphony and
began traveling Europe to perform with
fellow prodigies
II was born with a gift and his
creativity surpassed the natural gifts
afforded to his fellow musicians

competition surprised you the caliber of
