Carborane acids
The strongest one is at least a million times stronger than concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and hundreds of times stronger than the previous record holder, fluorosulfuric acid (HFSO3). Concentrated sulfuric acid is already more than a billion times (1012) stronger than dilute swimming pool acid or the acid in one's stomach.

Here is a diagram of the CHB11R5X6 carborane ions (Credit: UCR).
And here is another diagram showing the structure of the carborane, part of the world’s strongest acid. [Atom color code: orange = boron, gray = carbon, green = chlorine, white = hydrogen.] (Credit: UCR).
