160 - Bill Gates
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!

160 - Stephen Hawking

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!
