When we think of celebrities, we don’t generally equate them with being geniuses. After all, it doesn’t seem to take much intelligence to be a star, but considering how much money they make, maybe they are smarter than we give them credit for!
Jodie Foster
Jodie Foster has an IQ of 132 and graduatedvaledictorian of her French speaking high school. She then attended Yale and received a degree in literature.
Nicole Kidman
Though Nicole tends to play ditzy characters, she is anything but in real life. She also has an IQ of 132 and attended the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne, Australia.
Arnold Schwartzenegger
Arnold didn’t get to be the governator on fame alone. He also has an IQ of 135. Hard to believe the star of all of those action films actually has a brain under all that brawn!
Kesha
Pop star Kesha reportedly scored 1500 on her SATs and has an IQ of about 140. She was planning on studying psychology and religion at Barnard College before breaking into music.
Madonna
The Material Girl isn’t known for her smarts, but she should be because she has an IQ of 140. That’s just high enough to be a member of Mensa!
Shakira
Shakira is yet another pop singer who is surprisingly smart with an IQ of 140. She has even guest spoken at Oxford.
Geena Davis
Actress Geena Davis also has an IQ of 140. She is fluent in Swedish, a product of an exchange student program she participated in as a kid. She also attended Boston University and earned a degree in drama.
Steve Martin
Even more surprising than the fact that funny man Steve Martin has an IQ of 142 is the fact that before becoming an actor and comedian, he once majored in philosophy at Cal State and dreamed of becoming a professor.
Scott Levy AKA Raven
ECW wrestler Scott Levy, AKA Raven, might be one of the most surprising on this list. His isn’t the highest IQ, but it is a quite respectable 143. What is most surprising is that before becoming a wrestler, he studied criminal justice and was going to be a lawyer!
Sharon Stone
It might shock you to know that sexy actress Sharon Stone has one of the highest IQs on this list, clocking in at an impressive 154. At the young age of 15, she also received a scholarship to Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and studied fine arts and creative writing.
Quentin Tarantino
While it’s not entirely surprising that filmmaker Quentin Tarantino made the list of stars with high IQs, despite dropping out of high school, after all of the fantastic movies he has created, it is surprising that he has the same IQ as genius Stephen Hawking: 160.
Dolph Lundgren of Rocky fame is another action star who is more than just a muscular guy in movies. He too has a genius 160 IQ. Before becoming a movie star, Dolph attended the University of Sydney in Australia and received a masters degree in chemical engineering. He then was awarded a Fullbright Scholarship to MIT.
James Woods
Actor James Woods scored an amazing 1580 out of 1600 when he took the SATs. In addition to that, he has a mind blowing 180 IQ. With that, it’s not surprising that he got a full scholarship to MIT. He later dropped out to pursue acting. Sometimes you have to do what you love!
Masi Oka
Masi Oka is most famous for playing Hiro on the TV show Heroes, but he could have pretty much done whatever he wanted since he scored a 189 on an IQ test he took when he was a kid. He says that he is just book smart however and has no street smarts and is always forgetting things! I guess IQ isn’t everything!
