Watch out, Austin Russell, you may not be the world’s youngest self-made billionaire for much longer at the rate this 12-year-old is going.

Mike Wimmer is the boy to watch, as he is about to graduate high school and college – in the same week. Not a single DoMyEssay client could dream about it. Yet, there’s something else you need to pay attention to.

Hailing from North Carolina, Wimmer did something more productive than making banana art during the downtime of the pandemic.

He took a few extra classes, no biggie.

This allowed Wimmer to complete four years of school in just one year, comprising two years of high school and a two-year associate’s degree.

As per CNN, he will graduate from Rowan-Cabarrus Community College on May 21, and from Concord Academy High School on May 28, where he is valedictorian.

He’s always had an affinity for technology — he got his first iPad when he was 18 months old, and wondered how it worked.

Here’s Mike Wimmer and his proud parents:

But guys, it doesn’t end there.

He also has a website, called Next Era Innovations, where he explains that he learned almost all of his programming and robotic knowledge through trial and error and online videos.

On top of that, he also has a startup.

It’s called Reflect Social and aims to simplify how smart home technology works, with the ultimate goal to help others:

“[The startup] combines popular social media platforms with Internet of Things (IoT) devices, providing a new dynamic social experience,”

“My entrepreneurial goal is to build technology that enables people to live better lives,” he said.

He also wants people to know that he still makes time for normal kid activities, such as playing basketball and building legos:

“A lot of people think I’ve given up my childhood or somehow lost it,” Wimmer said, “and I say to them that I’m having the time of my life.”

Well jeez, isn’t this kid too cool?
