Then there’s Christopher Langan. He’s the guy with an IQ reported over 200. He worked as a bouncer and a horse farmhand for years.
Langan created the “Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe.” It’s a theory of everything. It’s so complicated that no one can really explain it clearly.
He calls himself a “lowbrow intellectual.” He watched Gilligan’s Island to relax. It’s a beautiful reminder that even the smartest people need brain rot.
What about Marilyn vos Savant? She holds the Guinness World Record for highest IQ in the female category. Her score was 228.
She writes a column for Parade magazine. She answers reader questions. One time, she solved the “Monty Hall Problem” and thousands of PhDs wrote in to say she was wrong.
Spoiler alert: she was right. She politely roasted a bunch of very angry professors. That’s power.
Who Has the Highest IQ Right Now?
The actual title of “Highest IQ” is a moving target. Megabrain societies like Mensa and the Giga Society keep lists. But they are secretive.

A guy named Kim Ung-Yong was in the Guinness Book as a kid. He had an IQ of 210 at age four. He could speak four languages fluently by then.
He later became a bored engineer. He said he just wanted a normal life. He now teaches at a university and says he’s “just a person.”
