It is said regarding the utmost: eighteen, twenty, thirty-three, and forty.

It is said: judgments among people and understanding, and thus We reward the doers of good, a reminder that he was good in his deeds, pious in the vigor of his affairs, and that Allah granted him wisdom and knowledge as a reward for his goodness. And from Al-Hasan: whoever worships his Lord well in his youth, Allah grants him wisdom in his old age.
