Now, this is someone we all knew would make this list. For those of you who don’t know who Bill Gates is, well, he is one of the wealthiest people on the planet. Why? He’s the technological genius behind the Microsoft Corporation. While the man had attended Harvard University, as you would expect someone of his caliber, he surprisingly dropped out so he could start his own company. Not bad for a dropout!
William Henry Gates III is a genius with an IQ of 160. He has championed a new age of technology for all of humankind, and as if that wasn’t enough, he uses both his wealth and his intelligence in order to contribute to important causes.
140 - Ke$ha
Kesha Rose Sebert, also known as Ke$ha, is an actress, rapper, songwriter, and singer. A label signed her at age 18, and her first significant success came 4 years later when the number-one single "Right Round" was released by Flo Rida, featuring her.
Her music and image skyrocketed her to fame, but this was unfortunately put to a halt when disputes between her and Dr. Luke started to spread out. She has sold over 59 million records in the US and 76 million records worldwide. It could be her talent, but it could also be the fact that she has an IQ of 140. You be the judge.
138 - Nicole Kidman
Ahh, the stunning Nicole Mary Kidman — the famous Australian actress and producer. Her career as an actress started in Australia when she got cast in the 1983 films, "BMX Bandits" and "Bush Christmas," but her career broke through with the 1989 thriller, "Dead Calm."
She is a well-rounded actress, equipped with everything an A-lister should have. Kidman has been the recipient of multiple accolades, which include two Primetime Emmy Awards, one Academy Award, five Golden Globe Awards, as well as a Silver Bear for Best Actress. It is safe to say that it is not only her beauty and talent that have brought her to where she is right now but also a high IQ of 138.
143 - Scott Levy
Scott Levy is an American semi-retired actor, podcaster, and professional wrestler known by many as "Raven." He has appeared in wrestling promotions for the World Championship Wrestling, Extreme Championship Wrestling, World Wrestling Federation, and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.
Levy's known in the wrestling world as "one of the best talkers," and his grunge-inspired aesthetic is what made him a force in the industry. But did you know that apart from being a superstar in the ring he also has an impressive IQ of 143? Who knew?! Well, his college buddies may have known, as Levy has earned a Criminal Justice degree from the University of Delaware.
160 - Stephen Hawking
Okay, if there's someone who we expect to be on this list, it’s Stephen William Hawking. Everyone knew who he was: a natural-born genius. He was an English cosmologist, theoretical physicist, author, and director of research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology, at the University of Cambridge.
One of his most famed works was a collaboration with Roger Penrose, about the gravitational singularity theorems in the framework of general relativity, as well as the theoretical prediction that black holes do emit radiation. Does that sound like gibberish to you? Well, don't worry, you're not alone! We can't blame Hawking, when your IQ is 160, it's the price you pay for being that smart!
