Reginald Martinez Jackson is a famous former American professional baseball right fielder. He was able to play 21 seasons for various sports teams such as the Kansas City Royals, Oakland Athletics, New York Yankees, Baltimore Orioles, and California Angels of Major League Baseball. He is also a National Baseball Hall of Famer.
He was a prodigy on the field, scoring record-breaking points. Everyone wanted to be just like him, but considering that his fame (as well as his college scholarship) was part of his athletic career, not many know how smart he is. Jackson has an IQ of 160, the same as Stephen Hawking.
140 - Madonna
Everyone knows Madonna. She has been revered in the music world as the "Queen of Pop" since the '80s. Her music has always pushed the boundaries of songwriting, film, and mainstream art. The reason behind her being so successful throughout the years is her ability to reinvent her music every time.
Her work has inspired hundreds of musicians today, having sold 300 million records across the globe, making her the top-selling female recording performer of all time, as recorded by the Guinness World Records. Not only is she filthy rich and famous, but she also has a high IQ of 140. Well, at least according to her.
185 - Condoleezza Rice
Anyone who’s ever been even mildly interested in politics will immediately recognize the name and face of the 66th United States Secretary of State between 2005 and 2009, Condoleezza Rice. Rice is an incredible woman most look up to. She earned a Bachelor's degree in Political Science from the University of Denver, where she graduated with honors.
After that, she continued her education at the University of Notre Dame, obtaining a Master's degree in Political Science. She then pursued a Ph.D. in Political Science from the Graduate School of International Studies at the University of Denver, so that's Dr. Rice, for you. With an IQ test score of 185, it's no surprise she's been an unstoppable political powerhouse and inspiration for women of color. She certainly obliterated the glass ceiling!
142 - Chris Martin
The noted musician did a great job of balancing school and music back when he was still a student. Chris Martin was previously educated at the esteemed Sherborne School in Dorset. With an IQ of 142, it is quite possible he had to ward off university admissions with a stick. He later earned his degree in ancient Latin and Greek studies with first-class honors at the University College London (UCL). It was at UCL where he met his Coldplay bandmates.
While in college, Martin pursued music and formed a band in 1996 with Johnny Buckland, Will Champion, and Guy Berryman. Their band was initially called Pectoralz. They later changed it to Starfish and finally settled on Coldplay. Definitely the best of the three!
