At just 16 years old, Mike Wimmer has achieved what most people spend decades working toward: a Ph.D., two master’s degrees, and three successful businesses. The teenage entrepreneur, who received his doctorate from Carolina University, is now believed to be the youngest person in U.S. history to earn a Ph.D.
“I’m super excited to have gotten to this point,” Wimmer told FOX Local following his graduation. His academic journey is astonishing: by age 12, he had already completed high school and earned an associate’s degree. At 14, he finished his bachelor’s, and just two years later, he now holds a Ph.D. in innovation.
