    When you are widely considered to be one of the world’s most intelligent people you would hope your bank balance did your intellect some justice. Now no one is saying that Stephen Hawking, doomsayer of human aggression, is living in poverty but how do his riches stack up against a few notable celebrities?

    Now Hawking, the subject of the Oscar-acclaimed The Theory Of Everything, has a net worth of $20 million according to Celebrity Net Worth, although it has been reported elsewhere as being as high as $46 million. We’re going to pick our battles and go with the $20 million figure as it is the one bandied around most frequently. Good, he’s not going hungry and can afford some new brake pads when the need arises.

    Here’s where the news gets awkward for those who value intellect. Ever heard of Duck Dynasty? They’re those hillbilly rednecks from Louisiana who, along with selling duck hunting products, have raked in over $400 million in merchandising revenue. Yeah, their earnings positively dwarf the smartest man on four wheels.

    What about playing a really smart person on a hit TV show? If you are a fan of ‘The Big Bang Theory’ you will know Sheldon Cooper and his band of socially awkward brainiacs. Their pay cheques? A cool $1 million per episode.

    The long and the short of it? Being clever must be fun, but it isn’t going to get you a holiday home on every continent. Unless you use that intelligence to marry well, of course…
