一项针对近25年来约1.8万名国际奥赛奖牌获得者的追踪研究显示，在可追踪的约50%人群中，36%进入学术界成为教授，22%投身软件或科技行业，12%进入量化金融领域，5%成为创业者。他们已创立约20家独角兽和7家十角兽企业，并产生了约10位亿万富翁，其成为亿万富翁和独角兽创始人的几率分别比普通人高出1500倍和4000倍。谷歌是最大雇主，MIT是其最集中的母校。这些顶尖人才在科技创新与学术领域贡献显著。

What do the smartest kids in the world do when they grow up？

I did the largest study of ~18，000 International Olympiad medalists （IMO， IOI and IPhO） over the last 25yrs， arguably the sharpest analytical minds of the world in high school， to see where they ended up and traced ~50% of them.

Founders of ~20 unicorns and ~7 decacorns and ~10 billionaires： OpenAI， Cursor， Stripe， Databricks， Perplexity， Ethereum， Cognition， Hyperliquid， Fireworks， Modal， Quora， Parallel， Cartesia， Wispr

Most kids went to MIT， a whopping 12% of them， followed by Cambridge （7%） and Sharif （3%）！

The career paths they chose （of those who graduated） were： - 36% Academia （professors） - 26% Other - 22% in Software / Tech - 12% in Quant / Finance - 5% Founders！

The biggest employer was Google， by far， at 6%. Others interesting tidbits were： - 47 of them work at Jane Street （#3） - 38 at OpenAI （#5） - 15 at Anthropic - 8 at Cognition - 6 at Isomorphic Labs

Olympiaders were 1500x more likely to be billionaires and 4000x more likely to be unicorn founders than the average person！
