A Little Bit About the Smartest Kids in the World 

Aelita Andre, 9 years old

She started smearing paint on a canvas when she was merely nine months old and the rest, they say, is history. An abstract expressionist painter, the Australian-born child sold one of her acrylic paintings titled ‘Birch Forest in Space’ to an independent collector for $50,000. Newspaper articles and reviews have already branded her along the likes of Jackson Pollock and Damien Hirst but that should come as no surprise as after all, history’s most recognized child art prodigy – Pablo Picasso – finished his first masterpiece of a man riding a horse in a bullfight at the age of nine.

Adam Kirby, 5 years old

This British toddler currently holds the record for Mensa’s youngest male member when he was admitted at the age of two years and five months in 2013. His list of achievements include being potty-trained at the age of one after reading a book about it, knows the periodic time table and scored 141 points on the Stanford-Binet IQ Test- just four points shy of the ‘Genius’ category.

Tsung Tsung, 9 years old

Lee Shing-Tsung or more commonly known as Tsung Tsung, is a piano prodigy. Having mastered the art of playing piano at the age of 3, the Hong Kong-born boy appeared on Ellen Degeneres’s show after YouTube videos of him playing famous and difficult compositions went viral. After just one year of learning how to play, he received an exceptional score of 120 out of 150 on his grade 5 Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music exam.

Reuben Paul, 10 years old

His voice hasn’t broken out yet but the boy is a computer hacker, app developer and a cybersecurity expert. The accomplishments do not stop there as the Indian boy is CEO for Prudent Games, a company that designs and develops educational apps and games to teach math, science and cybersecurity. He is a familiar face at security conferences around the world and has delivered plenty of keynote and closing speeches.
