Lauren Marbe: Girl with IQ of 161
Lauren Marbe, 16, from Loughton, Essex, has an IQ of 161 which is smarter than Albert Einstein, Bill Gates, and Stephen Hawking

She may be blond, but Lauren Marbe is far from dumb. In fact, if the IQ test she recently took at her high school is a reliable gauge, the British 16-year-old — an unapologetic fan of makeup, manicures, fake tans and partying with her pals — may be more intelligent than Stephen Hawking or Bill Gates or even Albert Einstein. While Hawking, Gates and Einstein reportedly have (or had, in Albert's case) IQs of 160, Marbe scored a 161.

Clearly, big things are expected of the straight-A student, but she says she's to between academic pursuits and her dreams of a career in showbiz. We're sure she'll make a smart choice. [Source]
