Note : I've excluded polyglots who didn't include Chinese as one of the languages in their repertoire, primarily for me to personally verify they're not charlatans spouting gibberish. Actually 3 of the polyglots featured do not speak Chinese, but they both do speak both Korean & Japanese, which both being Category V languages (see chart below), is a comparable achievement.
John Garrison is an angmoh who speaks Chinese & Japanese & Korean, and he concurs with the Foreign Service Institute's School of Language Studies findings that these 3 languages (Chinese & Japanese & Korean) are the toughest languages for English speakers to learn :

Without further ado, here are the 10 chiobu polyglots, arranged in order of increasing number of languages :
Gloriarya speaks 5 languages
Abir Aichi speaks 6 languages
Abby P speaks 6 languages
J Lou speaks 6 languages
MALICE.EXE/Formerly VenusAngelic speaks 7 languages
