"Adragon De Mello, an American who gained fame in the late 20th century, captured attention due to his extraordinary intelligence during his youth. He was born on April 18, 1976, in California, USA, and displayed prodigious talent from an early age. His father, Agustin De Mello, played a pivotal role in shaping his education, with aspirations for his son to achieve the distinction of becoming the youngest person to earn a doctorate degree.
While De Mello didn’t ultimately attain that specific goal, he did achieve significant academic milestones at a remarkably young age, earning widespread recognition. At the age of 8, he began his studies at Cabrillo College, a community college in Aptos, California. In 1988, at the remarkable age of 11, he made history by becoming the first person in American history to earn a college degree at such a young age, majoring in computational mathematics. This remarkable accomplishment garnered significant media attention and even secured him a place in the Guinness World Records book.
However, despite his early academic feats, De Mello’s life took a different course in his teenage years and adulthood. While he was accepted into a graduate program at the Florida Institute of Technology, he chose not to enroll. The intense academic pressure, driven by his father’s ambitions, caused considerable strain within the family. Consequently, De Mello decided to lead a more conventional life, away from the spotlight and expectations.
As an adult, he distanced himself from the early fame that had surrounded him and lived a private life out of the public eye. Today, De Mello is recognized for possessing one of the highest IQ scores ever recorded in human history—an extraordinary IQ score of 400."

Elon is an IQ snail compared to De Mello...at an IQ of "only" 155! But, arguably, Elon has USED his intelligence to benefit the world, whereas many others with higher IQ's achieve early fame, many awards, and then burn out.
