 Most of the intelligent people struggle very hard
throughout their lives and made a history with their
innovative skills and accomplishments.
This list honors the Top 10 Smartest People in the
World.
10.Stephen Hawking Stephen Hawking was born 300 years after the
death of Galileo in England. At the age of eleven,
Stephen went to St. Albans School and then on to
University College, Oxford. Stephen wanted to study
Mathematics. Mathematics was not available at
University College, so he pursued Physics instead. After 3 years, he was awarded a first class honours
degree in Natural Science. Stephen then went on to
Cambridge to do research in Cosmology, there being
no one working in that area in Oxford at the time.
His supervisor was Denis Sciama, although he had
hoped to get Fred Hoyle who was working in Cambridge. After gaining his Ph.D. he became first
a Research Fellow and later on a Professorial Fellow
at Gonville and Caius College. He has an IQ of 160.
He has twelve honorary degrees. He was also
awarded the CBE in 1982, and was made a
Companion of Honour in 1989. He is the recipient of many awards, medals and prizes, is a Fellow of The
Royal Society, and a Member of the US National
Academy of Sciences.

 8. Sir Andrew Wiles Sir Andrew Wiles made significant contribution to
mathematics when he proved Fermat's Last

Society Research Professor at Oxford Society and
specializes in number theory. He has also received 15 prizes in Math and Science.
7. Judit Polgar She is a child prodigy with an IQ of 170 and has
already taken over Bobby Fischer's record in chess.
She is touted as the most talented female chess
player of all times. Polgár is the only woman to have
won a game from a current world number one player,
and has defeated nine current or former world champions in either rapid or classical chess: Anatoli
Karpov, Garry Kasparov, Boris Spassky, Vasily
Smyslov, Veselin Topalov, Viswanathan Anand,
Ruslan Ponomariov, Alexander Khalifman, and
Rustam Kasimdzhanov. She is the second chess

6. James Woods Apart from his okay acting skills, James Woodss
has an IQ level of 180. The film, stage and TV actor
went to UCLA for his high school and got a full
scholarship at MIT. Woods was a vocal supporter of
former U.S. President George W. Bush and the Iraq
War, though he is a registered Democrat. He is also an avid support of former Mayor of New York Rudy
Giuliani. Woods lobbied hard to play Giuliani in the
biopic Rudy: The Rudy Giuliani Story, and considers

 5. Garry Kasparov He is Russia's chess grandmaster who became the
youngest undisputed world champion at the age of
22. He beat the then-champion Anatoly Karpov after
a head-on battle in 1985. Kasparov held the official
world title recognized by the international chess
federation until 1993. A dispute occurred forcing Kasparov to give up the crown and to form instead
another chess association called Professional
Chess Association. In 1997, he lost a chess match
to Deep Blue, the first time a world champion had
lost to a computer under standard time controls.
Kasparov was recognized as the "classical" world champion until 2000, when he was defeated by
Vladimir Kramnik. He has an IQ of 190. In March
2005, Kasparov announced his retirement from
professional chess, so that he could devote his time

administration and policies of Vladimir Putin.
4. Rick Rosner With an exceptional IQ of 192, Rick Rosner is a
famous American TV writer, who happens to also be

roller skating model. He now writes and produces for quiz shows and for several programs that are
produced by Jimmy Kimmel, including The Man

Physics Olympiad at 13 and became the youngest
American to achieve that. He is currently teaching
astrophysics at California Institute of Technology
