2. Terence Tao

Gifted with an amazing IQ estimated between 220 and 230 by the Davidson Institute, Terence Tao makes it to this list of the people with the highest IQ in the world. Born in Adelaide, Australia in 1975, this prodigy first displayed his incredible intelligence at a mere age of 2, when he managed to solve basic arithmetic questions on his own.
At the age of 16, he graduated with both Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees at the Flinders University. Moreover, Tao bagged numerous awards, such as the Salem Prize in 2000 and the Clay Research Award in 2003, just to name a few. He has been dubbed as “Mr. Fix It” by Charles Fefferman (a professor of Mathematics at Princeton University), because he has enthralled many mathematicians such that they vie to interest him in their problems.
