The 14-year-old finished high school and college in 3 years while running 2 companies

Mike Wimmer

Like many college graduates, Mike Wimmer walked across a stage and received a degree. Unlike the other graduates, Wimmer is 14 years old.

Wimmer, a Mensa member, is from Salisbury, North Carolina. He graduated from the University of Carolina this spring with a degree in computer science, capping off a three-year career.

He did it while running two companies.

When Wimmer's intelligence was tested before he started preschool, the child psychologist told his parents that he had maxed out on the IQ scale.

Since then, he has been on a fast track of intellectual development, completing year-long curricula in months.

Wimmer and his friends like car racing simulation games and he will often play them on vacation.

He holds a "Class A license" in an online game called iRacing.
