From artists to geniuses: these record-breaking kids outshine most grown-ups

When we think of some of the world’s most talented and successful individuals, mostly grown-ups come to mind.

And yet, there are some iconic kids out there who’ve outshined adults in almost every category of record breaking!

Here are some examples…

Youngest fashion designer 

Max Alexander is a talented fashion designer from Denver, Colorado, USA, who has shown his work nationally and even run his own fashion show…

All that before turning 8 years old!

At the age of 7 years and 266 days, Max became the youngest person to design a runway show, after he was offered a runway at Denver Fashion Week.

Max has been designing, sewing and selling clothes all around the world since he was 4.

Recently he also became the youngest runway show designer at Paris Fashion Week.

What a legend!

Youngest artist

If that wasn’t impressive enough, meet John Christian Caldeira Weibull from Spain, who achieved his first Guinness World Records title at 10 months and 7 days old as the youngest artist (male).

His artistic journey began at 5 months old, when his mum and dad handed him an LED drawing tablet. 

Everyone was amazed when John started creating beautiful abstract drawings, and on 19 October 2024, John’s artwork was presented at an art exhibition in Marbella, where many of his paintings were successfully sold! 

Can you imagine being this successful before you can even talk?

Well, you know what they say, a picture is worth a thousand words!

Youngest documentary presenter and newspaper columnist

Aneeshwar Kunchala, a young nature hero from the UK, is on a mission to save the planet!

Aneeshwar became the world’s youngest documentary presenter (male) at the age of 7 years 288 days and, later on, the youngest newspaper columnist (male) at the age of 8 years 76 days.

In his column, he shares fun facts about animals, their special skills, where we can find them in nature and, especially, how we can all help protect them.

Youngest club DJ

This is DJ RINOKA, a talented girl from Japan who became the youngest club DJ (female) at the age of 6 years and 155 days.

When she’s not in school or DJing, she likes to:

• Take hip-hop and jazz dance lessons 
• Skateboard 
• Play the keyboard 
• Draw 
• Play at the park close to her house, where she often has picnics with her family and…
• Collect insects!

Do you have any of the same hobbies?

Youngest graduate

This kid is an absolute genius.

Michael Kearney from USA became the youngest graduate (male) when he was 10 years and 4 months old.

At an age when most children are just beginning secondary school, Michael completed a bachelor’s degree in anthropology at the University of South Alabama and, 4 years later, he finished a Master’s programme in chemistry at Middle Tennessee State University at just 14 years and 8 months old!

We love seeing kids outsmarting the grown-ups…

Congratulations, guys, you are all Officially Amazing!
