One of the most famous child geniuses of recent years was the amazing child prodigy Gregory Smith, who was such a super-genius he actually graduated from college, with a master's degree, at age 16. He was far ahead of the curve even when he was only one year old, already memorizing entire books, and he has never slowed down a bit since then.

He continues studying for four doctorates -- in math, aerospace engineering, international relations and biomedical research. He also works worldwide as an activist and advocate for peace and justice, using his fame as a child genius to try and do some good for the world, with majot organizations he has founded including the IYA.
