This list is just ridiculous.
Of course there are some really bright people up there and I don't say that I can hold a candle to them.
But giving an IQ of 192 is just a laugh. You can't calibrate the IQ in the region above 145 because of the lack of people in that group. And the problem that you would need a much more intelligent person...
The other point is that it is common knowledge that high IQ and success in life are loosly related if at all. Too much of a thing can seriously hinder a person.
