For all you feeling like crap and thinking you should’ve done more... think about how many of these kids became super successful. And then think about the number of college-dropouts who became super successful. More knowledge isn’t important. It’s what you do with the knowledge you have. That was an original quote from me I can’t believe I just said that. But keep in mind: Mozhart and Picasso
Michael Jackson merits more than a mere passing blurb on this list. He could dance with the best of them and sing as good as anyone as a real young kid and only developed that talent more and more until his passing. A GREAT, GREAT loss to the world!!!
+burny6666 He also wrote and composed some of his biggest hits, such as Billie Jean and Beat it. But he was in his early 20s by then. He did write and compose "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" in his teens. He was a child prodigy nonetheless. He was an amazing singer, dancer and performer when he was just nine. And singing and dancing are significant talents. How many nine-year-olds have you seen with the type of talent MJ had that the age? That's a rare gift and why people called him a prodigy. Really good list though and great choice for the #1 spot.
+Guillermo Sanchez No, it's not a FACT. Just because you say it is doesn't make it a fact. MJ wrote and composed a good portion of his own hits. True, other writers wrote tracks for him as well, but probably his biggest and most-remembered hits were written and composed solely by him: Billie Jean, Bad, Wanna Be Startin' Somethin', Smooth Criminal, The Way You Make Me Feel, Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough, Drity Diana, Beat It and more.
+freegratuits That's wrong. If there are less female child prodigies, then they are less likely to be the greatest. Also, IQ research shows that women are usually closer to 100 IQ than men on both sides. The Smartest individuals tend to be male, and so do the stupidest. That's called being honest.
+CMDR Dantae You do notice that in real life where the most intelligent and the biggest fuck tards tend to be male but woman are very consistent with their intelligence
Callum Marriage Isn't that what I said, women are usually closer to the 100 mark, while men are a little further on both sides of the 100 IQ mark. On average, this difference is only 4 points. However, that's due to how the average works, the most common intelligence appears to be average, 100 IQ.
I am still in awe of Michael Kearney. High school diploma from San Marin High School in 1990 at age 6 Associate Degree from Santa Rosa Junior College at age 8 Anthropology degree from University of South Alabama in1994 at age 10 Guinness World Record for world's youngest college graduate at age 10 Master's degree in chemistry, Middle Tennessee State University at age 14 Master's degree in computer science, Vanderbilt University age 18 Doctorate degree in chemistry, Middle Tennessee State University at age 22 I'm turning 20, taking Applied Differential Equations (MTH 256) with High School students (one who is 14) and I barely know what I want to major in. I feel smaller than the Atom or Ant-Man right now. It is nuts.
for those asking about kobe and LeBron due to their highschool achievements in basketball, I believe they meant extremely young child prodigies, not teenagers. and even so most of these are academic. tiger slipped through because he became great around 10 or 11 and went on from there. I do agree that if he made it then both of them should but hey, no lost is perfect
What are you talking about MJ wasn't even close to being a prodigy if you are comparing him to Beethoven and Mozart. He was talented yes, but no where near them.
+Obtainable clearly u didn't read what I said. I'm not comparing MJ to Beethoven & Mozart talent wise, I just simply stated that if you're going to put musician prodigies on the list like those two than MJ deserves a spot as well. Also not to take anything away from Beethoven & Mozart but MJ was actually 5 years old when he started performing while Beethoven was 7 & Mozart was 6 so please show me what makes them more unique than MJ???
+Malik Moore Well technically, you are comparing Mozart and MJ, as you're stating that, because MJ deserves to be in the same list, that he was in the same league as Mozart and Beethoven. Personally, MJ doesn't come close to the level of 'prodigy' that Mozart and Beethoven were. Yeah MJ was talented as a musician, but he wasn't a prodigy that was outright amazing from a young age, he was just an entertaining kid that sang good songs, whereas Mozart, from a young age showed prowess and skill in a form that takes many people their whole life to reach. Mozart and Beethoven became household names, everyone knows who they are, even if it's just 'those classical music guys' and they did it without the age of the Internet, but MJ had all the modern media to spread his talent.
+maxflash200 Me stating why MJ should be on the list has nothing to do with me comparing his talent to Mozart & Beethoven's. I was just pointing out that in my opinion I believe that if your going to put "musician prodigies" on the list u gotta place MJ up there & clearly WatchMojo was thinking that as well because at the end of the video they showed MJ performing I Want You Back although he wasn't mention. But how was he not outright amazing at a young age??? Could u sing & dance at the professional level when u was 5 years old because not a lot of musicians are gifted enough to do so. I'm a fan of Mozart & Beethoven's music & classical music as a whole but MJ started his success at the same age as them which is very impressive. It could also be argued that MJ should have been an honorable mention besides Elton John because Elton was 11 when he started while MJ was 5.
To everyone feeling 'ashamed' or 'worthless' because they aren't or weren't child prodigies, keep in mind that they are doing what they love and are enjoying it. Do what you love to do and what satisfies you internally. Someone else's success shouldn't be used as a metric to determine your capabilities, success, and self-worth as an individual. You are capable, work to believe in yourself.

Jonathan Fei you're wrong messi was child prodigy his former coach in argentina said being his first time playing football when the ball rolled to his left foot he dribbled literally everyone in that team and and averaged 5 goals in every match he played
At the age of 6, John von Neumann ( 1903 - 1957 ) could divide two 8-digit numbers in his head and was fluent in Ancient Greek! At the age of 3, John Stuart Mill ( 1806 - 1873 ) was allegedly reading Ancient Greek! By the age of 8 he was reading Plato ( 429bc - 347bc )!
+James Morris Carlsen is the third youngest in the world to make grand master, and at 24 is by far the top rated chess player in the world. Kasparov and Fischer were only able to play one game against each other, and it ended in a draw, but Carlsen, at 13, was also able to force a draw with Kasparov as well. The three of them would likely be very close in rating and ability, but Carlsen is about half their ages, leaving him far more time to improve.
Bob Barker Chess in its current form has been around for about 200 years. To say that the last 50 years has produced theory that is somehow more important than the previous 150 is a bit disingenuous considering the goals of taking a position to control sections of the board is still the same, and many of the strategies to do so have been around since before Fischer was born. Many of the most highly regarded chess theory writings came out of the 20's and 30's and are still used today, such as the writings of Aron Nimzowitsch and Reuben Fine.
Billy Preston - He was definitely a child prodigy. The gifted young pianist/keyboardist was backing noted gospel artists such a Mahalia Jackson and James Cleveland at the young age of nine. He performed on the Nat King Cole show at age 11. He went on to be an acclaimed hit-making artist as an adult and played on the Beatles' Let It Be album.
+Charles Anderson You think a skateboarder belongs on a list with the greatest intellects and composers in the world? Balancing yourself on a piece of wood that has wheels on it is not an impressive accomplishment.
Pele? He signed his first professional contract at 14 years old and scored 4 goals in his first career match...at 14! Against grown men more than twice his age! And he was a key player in helping Brazil win their first World Cup when he was just 17 yrs old.
To be honest I would put Lionel Messi on this list. He signed for one of the best clubs in the world when he was only twelve when he sent them a video of him showing of skills wig a tennis ball and now he is one of the best players of all time.
At the age of 12 I’m 13 now I had a teacher contact some people about my iq I was doing college math for fun because I would finish all my 6th grade work (supposed to take 30-40 minutes) before the warm up was done (10-15 minutes) but sadly I’m only that good at math and social study’s... but the pandemic took over before my teacher could get a response, he wanted to have me skip all the way to freshman math, he did so and it still was to easy, but now I’m just in normal 7th grade now.
I was stating to wonder why the heck all these child prodigies started hanging out in my feed but I think I finally got it. Lmao. My guides wanted us to know that it's not about how smart or intelligent you are that brings about great change in the world. It's about how driven you are to use what you have to get there. These kids lived a charmed life and don't understand what it means to suffer the way those who had it rough do. So the causes that they typically serve do not do much to help humanity as these children have clearly existed for a while yet the world remains the same, if not worse. That's why it takes someone more unique but still extremely relatable to create the change this world needs most right now. Twin Soulders who made it out of hell and lived to tell the tale...
as someone who is in a couple advanced classes and been awarded a couple athletic awards, i can look at something like this and comfort myself with my athletic achievements (aside from tiger woods) and when i see a list of athletes then i comfort myself with my academic achievements. and im alright with that
WatchMojo, I agree with you that Wayne Gretzky can be considered a hockey prodigy. However, he comes around and, sadly, another that came along a few years before him is forgotten about all too much. I'm referring to the great "Number 4," Bobby Orr. I would even put him before Gretzky because Orr did what he did from the defensive end of the ice. Up until he came along, defensemen concentrated on assisting the goalie by not having anyone from the opposing teams score. If a defensemen who played before Bobby Orr came along then it was an added bonus. All by himself, Bobby Orr changed the game forever. It's too bad that his knees betrayed him where he had to retire at the still-young-hockey-age of 30. One can only imagine what else he would have accomplished to change the sport of hockey even more than he already did. I had the honor and the pleasure of meeting him once and got his autograph in the process. He is as great a person as he was a hockey player.
Michael Jackson should've been somewhere on this list. As a 5 year old, he showed incredible talent, and was working harder than most adults in the world. And before he was 10, he was performing all over the globe. Even for royalty. And that's not including who he eventually became as an adult... (The most famous human being on the planet).

I don't care about the rest of the list as long as Mozart is #1. There has never been, and probably never will be, anyone as talented as him. The one and only true musical genious by definition.
When you make nice informative lists like this, you undermine yourselves by using random clips from pop culture. For example, for the number 9 pick, why did you have to show that stupid 'Friends' clip.
I'm not aware of Reggie Dwight (Elton) doing anything before his 20's. They showed Michael Jackson a few times, and should have put him on the list. They included no philosophers - Saul Kripke and John Stuart Mill were more impressive as teens than anyone they included. Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov were chess champions in their teens.
Not even an honourable mention to Albert Einstein, He was the child prodigy who went on the become one of the greatest scientist and undoubtably one of the most influential person of all time.His theory of relativity would forever change the world as we see it.
Noo! They forget female child prodigy Akiane Kramarik! The amazing artist who drew "Prince of Peace" at 8 years. Her artwork was been in the movie "Heaven is for real".
on the subject of child prodigies in November 2015 a 12 year old girl in the UK got all of the questions on an iq test right (like stephen hawking did). However because of her age, she got a 162 while hawking got a 160.
It true. Pablo Picasso died at age 91, in 1973. Sesame Street started 4 years before, in 1969. He would’ve still been alive in 1969. So he lived a GOOD long life!!
Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Picasso 👍 but the child hockey player, however brilliant he is, is out of this league. Who's selection is this, the person researching film/video footage?
Its a shame we know so little of Davinci's life, but considering he is undoubtably one of the smartest, if not THE smartest person to ever live I have little to no doubts he was a genius surpassing Mozart.
+TheElectricmellon You're impressed by someone who hits a little ball with a wooden stick? You think he is on the same level as scientists and people like Picasso and Mozart??? LOL come on.

Many of the most highly regarded chess theory writings came out of the 20's and 30's and are still used today, such as the writings of Aron Nimzowitsch and Reuben Fine.
Billy Preston - He was definitely a child prodigy. The gifted young pianist/keyboardist was backing noted gospel artists such a Mahalia Jackson and James Cleveland at the young age of nine. He performed on the Nat King Cole show at age 11. He went on to be an acclaimed hit-making artist as an adult and played on the Beatles' Let It Be album.
Did everyone forget about Ryan Sheckler? He was so hyped up in his younger years
I was waiting for someone to say something
+Charles Anderson You think a skateboarder belongs on a list with the greatest intellects and composers in the world? Balancing yourself on a piece of wood that has wheels on it is not an impressive accomplishment.
+James Benton Ticer I think if tiger woods was on here then he should be on here as well
+James Benton Ticer LOL you clearly have not seen any good skate videos than because some of the shit people can do nowadays skateboarding is unreal
+James Benton Ticer Two words:Rodney Mullen. Look him up.
Pele? He signed his first professional contract at 14 years old and scored 4 goals in his first career match...at 14! Against grown men more than twice his age! And he was a key player in helping Brazil win their first World Cup when he was just 17 yrs old.
stevie wonder??
To be honest I would put Lionel Messi on this list. He signed for one of the best clubs in the world when he was only twelve when he sent them a video of him showing of skills wig a tennis ball and now he is one of the best players of all time.
What about Michael Jackson? Not even an honorable mention?
1) He is not a genius.
2) He was forced and what he did as a child was nothing remarkable compared to anyone on the list.
At the age of 12 I’m 13 now I had a teacher contact some people about my iq I was doing college math for fun because I would finish all my 6th grade work (supposed to take 30-40 minutes) before the warm up was done (10-15 minutes) but sadly I’m only that good at math and social study’s... but the pandemic took over before my teacher could get a response, he wanted to have me skip all the way to freshman math, he did so and it still was to easy, but now I’m just in normal 7th grade now.
Dang no honorable mention for lebron or Kobe
I was gonna say this, those guys were some of the greatest high school players ever
+Renzythegreat91 nigga please...Kareem Abdul was the greatest high school player
Kobe was trash at a young age
+Andrew Zepeda STFU
+Andrew Zepeda Lmao wtf are you talking about?
I was stating to wonder why the heck all these child prodigies started hanging out in my feed but I think I finally got it. Lmao. My guides wanted us to know that it's not about how smart or intelligent you are that brings about great change in the world. It's about how driven you are to use what you have to get there. These kids lived a charmed life and don't understand what it means to suffer the way those who had it rough do. So the causes that they typically serve do not do much to help humanity as these children have clearly existed for a while yet the world remains the same, if not worse. That's why it takes someone more unique but still extremely relatable to create the change this world needs most right now. Twin Soulders who made it out of hell and lived to tell the tale...
i remember when i was in college there was a 15 year old in one of my classes and a 9 year old in another. i felt like a loser when i would see them.
as someone who is in a couple advanced classes and been awarded a couple athletic awards, i can look at something like this and comfort myself with my athletic achievements (aside from tiger woods) and when i see a list of athletes then i comfort myself with my academic achievements. and im alright with that
No. 1 should be " any average Asian kid"
Yeah really wasn't that funny
WatchMojo, I agree with you that Wayne Gretzky can be considered a hockey prodigy. However, he comes around and, sadly, another that came along a few years before him is forgotten about all too much. I'm referring to the great "Number 4," Bobby Orr. I would even put him before Gretzky because Orr did what he did from the defensive end of the ice. Up until he came along, defensemen concentrated on assisting the goalie by not having anyone from the opposing teams score. If a defensemen who played before Bobby Orr came along then it was an added bonus. All by himself, Bobby Orr changed the game forever. It's too bad that his knees betrayed him where he had to retire at the still-young-hockey-age of 30. One can only imagine what else he would have accomplished to change the sport of hockey even more than he already did. I had the honor and the pleasure of meeting him once and got his autograph in the process. He is as great a person as he was a hockey player.
Ooh yes. Mozart on the first place. Love his music :)
Newton? He created all elementary physics, calculus, and optics in a long summer vacation...
I think both Julie Andrews and Michael Jackson deserve some recognition, or at least an honorable mention.
Michael Jackson for sure
Michael Jackson should've been somewhere on this list. As a 5 year old, he showed incredible talent, and was working harder than most adults in the world. And before he was 10, he was performing all over the globe. Even for royalty. And that's not including who he eventually became as an adult... (The most famous human being on the planet).
so.. there's no bieber in this list..
For a good reason.
he has no talent
+Edho Satria no jackson either !
+Edho Satria he is in the list "top ten selfies talents"
+Alexcia xA Your writing pisses me off.
there are plenty still to mention such as Michael Jackson, Bobby Fisher, Ronnie O'Sullivan and many more
Elton John but no Michael Jackson?
Mozart is my hero!! I was so glad to see him as #1 on this list!

+Aaron Denson Watchmojo doesn't look at the suggestions in the comments..If you want to make any,make them on their suggest page where people can vote and nominate their entries as well
Myrsa I have. Those are all suggestions I've made on the website on my profile
Aaron Denson Alright then
+Myrsa b they do, they did a video I requested for in the comments
+Kitchen God What if and this is just a whim.....someone else made the same suggestion on their page *gasp*
I don't care about the rest of the list as long as Mozart is #1. There has never been, and probably never will be, anyone as talented as him. The one and only true musical genious by definition.
+Francisco Silveira Can't argue with that. Definitely a great #1 pick.
This list started out interesting than it got SUPER boring at 4-1.......
Shut up you ignorant idiot
+Franz Liszt chill it's his opinion
+Franz Liszt Maestro Liszt, I love your work. "Faust Symphony" is my second favorite piece of all time!
Their parents are the ones that made them prodigies, those parents are actual heroes.
When you make nice informative lists like this, you undermine yourselves by using random clips from pop culture. For example, for the number 9 pick, why did you have to show that stupid 'Friends' clip.
I'm not aware of Reggie Dwight (Elton) doing anything before his 20's. They showed Michael Jackson a few times, and should have put him on the list. They included no philosophers - Saul Kripke and John Stuart Mill were more impressive as teens than anyone they included. Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov were chess champions in their teens.
No Stevie Wonder?
+Phantom flicks Exactly.
Mozart got out of his death bed and finished his last symphony because he couldn't die without finishing it.
where is Michael Jackson
In a grave😔
I would argue that the relation between power and information is more of a symbiotic one than simply that information is power, see Foucoult for more.
Notice that there's no girl prodigies.
+Monkey D. Luffy Your point is?
+Monkey D. Luffy sexist?
***** have you ever thought of transforming? there's nothing wrong with it.
+Monkey D. Luffy sports wise, most female athletes that were given a lot of attention, never lived up to their hype.
Michelle Wie is a prime example
Not being sexist just pointing it out for those who didn't catch it.
Musicians all seem really smart, maybe not all but like...a lot of them. I noticed this from almost all my band classes, smart kids
LeBron the most famous athlete of this generation? Or Kareem? This list is bullshit
He wasn't a child prodigy dumbass.
+keyboardwarrior same
You don't know what a prodigy is
Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Mayweather are all more famous than him.....
+Chris Romero They aren't better though. Especially Messi
Not even an honourable mention to Albert Einstein, He was the child prodigy who went on the become one of the greatest scientist and undoubtably one of the most influential person of all time.His theory of relativity would forever change the world as we see it.
when i was 5 i once tied my shoes in under 10 mins
Noo! They forget female child prodigy Akiane Kramarik! The amazing artist who drew "Prince of Peace" at 8 years. Her artwork was been in the movie "Heaven is for real".
Michael Jackson?????????????
sidney crosby was in the hall of fame before
he ever stepped into the nhl, as well.
No Michael Jackson? WTF
I was just wondering if watchmojo had this list Thanks!
Anyone else expecting Michael Jackson to be on the list?
on the subject of child prodigies in November 2015 a 12 year old girl in the UK got all of the questions on an iq test right (like stephen hawking did). However because of her age, she got a 162 while hawking got a 160.
where is Messi
It true. Pablo Picasso died at age 91, in 1973. Sesame Street started 4 years before, in 1969. He would’ve still been alive in 1969. So he lived a GOOD long life!!
Michael Jackson should be on the list.
Elton John should have been number 10.
the editor needs a raise. Good job😂👏👏
You guys forgot Ahmed. He invented the clock :^)
Everyone, just remember. "We shouldn't be known for what we can do, but for who we are and what we're willing to do."
Stevie Wonder?
"Rock Me Amadeus" LOL!
Child prodigies. As opposed to adult prodigies?
Um, yeah?
They're kids who show immeserable IQs at a young age
+Dejay Page I know. That's what a prodigy is. There's no such thing as an adult prodigy. A prodigy can only be a child.
+Red Ronin IX That is definitely not true
child prodogies are more impressive. It also means that they'll be even smarter when they're adults
I needed to watch this to restore my faith in humanity after the beauty pageant fails list
Lebron should have at least gotten a honorable mention
Damn I'm struggling in Calculus and this kid is only 11 and already working on his thesis for his masters degree. I hate myself
I would have had Michael Jackson, Lewis Hamilton and Messi on here.
Hell yeah
I think that Bobby Fisher would have been a good addition to the list.
Woooow No John Cena what a stupid list
+Steven Pace John Cena never became great till he was a grown up lol
he has an average iq but has great strength
and most kids will say,I can’t get a job,I’m only a kid,but you can be successful as a prodigy and make money as a prodigy
Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Picasso 👍 but the child hockey player, however brilliant he is, is out of this league. Who's selection is this, the person researching film/video footage?
ashamed to admit it but that atom joke was actually pretty funny.
Anakin Skywalker? He DID have quite a nack for mechanics and once flew a fighter into a bla. bla. bla.
Why isn't Sachin Tendulkar on this list he played his first ever cricket test match at 16 which is the youngest ever
Its a shame we know so little of Davinci's life, but considering he is undoubtably one of the smartest, if not THE smartest person to ever live I have little to no doubts he was a genius surpassing Mozart.
No Bryce Harper? This kid hit a 560 foot homerun and threw 96 mph before he could drive a car.
+TheElectricmellon You're impressed by someone who hits a little ball with a wooden stick? You think he is on the same level as scientists and people like Picasso and Mozart??? LOL come on.
James Benton Ticer Looks like we are just impressed by different things. Sure I appreciate the scientists, but you think painting colors with a stick is impressive??? LOL come on.
VintageLJ explain?
