It's probably also worth noting that a lot of these stories of teen geniuses and young billionaires and what not are ones you're hearing about because they're noteworthy and unusual. That's what gets them media coverage, what inspires people to constantly discuss them on social media and why so many people are discussing them in general.
Most people won't end up in that situation (as a prodigy who'll change the world before they're 30), and that's perfectly fine. Go ahead and put in more effort if you think you're not doing as well as you could be, but also remember that one in a billion success stories are outliers rather than the norm. Remember that what's in the news is there because it's unusual. Man bites dog stories are obviously going to be more common than the other way around, despite the other one being a few thousand times more likely.
TLDR: Don't compare yourself to extreme outliers, at least if you don't want to feel like a complete failure.
