Yep, according to Wiki, Daisaku Ikeda quit school in 1948, age 20.
Its a pattern with some folks who had to quit school in order to work, they regret it, and then try to overcompensate by getting "252 honorary doctorates, and 555 honorary citizenships".
So he probably already has the world record.
Who knew there were "555 honorary citizenships" and only about 200 countries in the world?
That Daisaku Ikeda Wiki page is just full of stuff that would be challenged and taken out for other people, but with various sects, there are people who devote themselves to watching over the sects Wiki site.

there is a little bit of Wiki arguing here about Daisaku Ikeda, with some calling him one of the most remarkable people in history!! So that is their objective, to portray Ikeda as one of histories greatest men. Wonder who's idea that was??

And notice below, Ikeda is also a master of all the social sciences, hard sciences, economics, maths, law, and everything else. What, not also a master of music? What a slacker.
Seriously, its really to the point of self-parody, the extreme narcissism, but that explains a lot.

QUOTE: "In 1948, he quit night school, in order to help and work for his mentor, Josei Toda's publishing business. In return for this, Mr. Toda taught Ikeda literature, history, chemistry, physics, political science, economics, law, mathematics, and Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhist philosophy."
