Most people don’t automatically associate celebrity status with intelligence. However, many of today’s most popular celebrities are incredibly intelligent people. Here is a list of today’s smartest celebrities and some of the things that set their intellects apart from the crowd.

Most people immediately think of physical beauty when Shakira is brought up. The Colombian beauty is apparently not lacking in the brains department either, with a reported IQ of 140. This would place her in the top 2% of the population, and qualify her for membership in Mensa, an organization for extremely intelligent people.
