14. Sharon Stone

Sharon Stone may not have gone to collect multiple college degrees like some of the other celebrities on our list, but she was academically gifted nevertheless.

Stone started the second grade at the age of five thanks to her recognition as “gifted” by her teachers.

Stone also received a college scholarship at the age of 15 and went to study creative writing and fine arts at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, where she subsequently graduated.

The actress has an IQ of 154 and was told she should be a lawyer, but young Stone was much more interested in modeling and acting, despite viewing herself as “a nerdy, ugly duckling”.
