Prodigies, a person, especially child and younger people are the one having extraordinary talent. From an 11-year-old Harvard student to a teenager helping the US government beat terrorism.

He was one of the 22 students experimented on as part of the CIA's infamous MKULTRA program, and soon after he became a recluse, living in a secluded cabin in the woods.

William was born in 1898 and was considered to be one of the smartest children to have ever lived. At the age of 18 months, he started reading. Later, at the age of 8 years, he had developed a new mathematical formula, a logarithm table based on the number 12. In the same year, he not only taught himself eight languages but also created his own language, which he called vendorgood. At the age 11, he was accepted into Harvard university and gave a lecture about four-dimensional bodies. understandably Sidis struggled with the media attention surrounding him, and after graduation, he took a celibacy vow and lived the rest of his life secluded from society.

Later, at the age 8, he bought his parents a house from the proceeds of his work. By 11 years old, he was worth almost $2 millions.
Sufiah Yusof achieved an A grade in the challenging pre-college mathematical exam in the UK, which secured her a place at Oxford University at the age of 12. Unfortunately, while her academic life thrived, her family life fell apart, and she suffered emotional and physical abuse from her father. his was subsequently jailed for sexual assault. she eventually dropped out from Oxford University, and since then she's been working as Asian Escort, advertising herself as a prostitute at a rate of $180 an hour.
