Be born rich. Tons of little geniuses stay nowhere cause their parents didn't have the money to put them into the best programs and schools. But kids like this have rich parents who can afford to have their kids encouraged and discovered earlier.

He is. I mean in interview he mentioned that he wants to get a pilot license. That kind of hobby isn't cheap.

Side note, I also can't help but think that while he has this opportunity, it is also sad. His childhood is being destroyed to satisfy his mom. I mean he got 5 degrees, which sounds great, but those are associate degrees, and from majors that don't really matter. All this to have an article that he graduated with 5 degrees at 12 year old.

In another article that I found they didn't list what degrees he got and he talked about being an aerospace engineer or a pediatrist when he grows up (I'm quite sure mom watched The Good Doctor, and that's why he is "interested"). So I thought he really got engineering degree and also finished premed and was extremely impressed. I'm not saying that what he got isn't impressive, but the degrees he got was a pointless waste of his childhood years that he will never get back.
