Shakira
As well as her fun, bubbly personality, Shakira has won three Grammys, 13 Latin Grammys, five MTV Video Music Awards, and seven Billboard Music Awards for her hit songs and albums. Thus, it’s understandable that she has a reported IQ of 140. She has been well-educated throughout her academic career, and has excelled in her classes.
Matt Damon
Matt Damon is known for portraying intelligent characters, but his real-life intelligence has also been a topic of discussion. According to interviews, he boasts an IQ of 160, which has led some to believe that his famous role in Good Will Hunting hits closer to home than originally thought. Since his breakout performance in 1998’s Good Will Hunting, which he co-wrote with Ben Affleck, Damon’s career has flourished with three more Academy Award nominations and a Golden Globe win for Best Actor in The Martian.
