This was fun! Thanks for asking it. Gotta love the Hillary and Shakira IQ!
An IQ score of 140+ or 145+ is the minimum to be considered a genius.
According to a recent investigation the most geniuses have been born in Mars and April. So it seems best to be born in the springtime. The same investigation states that the fewest geniuses are born in August and September.
It is rumoured that the mafia leader Al Capone had an IQ of 200. An example of a criminal with a verified exceptional intelligence (IQ 170, at age 10) is the Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski. He was a successful researcher in mathematics before he turned against the society. Other famous high IQ scorers among the criminals are Richard Loeb (child iq 160) and Nathan Leopold (child iq 210) at the beginning of the 20th century.

How high was Albert Einstein's is estimated to be between 160 and 200.
Marilyn vos Savant (228) had the highest IQ in history.
William James Sidis was roughly estimated at (250-300).
Now THIS was a fun find! The IQ of American Presidents! I know they are not geniuses but this is worth passing on:
No wonder Bush is struggling. His IQ is the lowest of any president, ever. It is only 91! OMG Poppy Bush is not much better. And THESE creatures want to run our world?
The study determined the following IQs of each president as accurate to within five percentage points:
147 Franklin D. Roosevelt (D)
132 Harry Truman (D)
122 Dwight D. Eisenhower (R)
174 John F. Kennedy (D)
126 Lyndon B. Johnson (D)

175 James E. Carter (D)
105 Ronald Reagan (R)
098 George HW Bush (R)
182 William J. Clinton (D)
091 George W. Bush (R)
The six Republican presidents of the past 50 years had an average IQ of 115.5, with President Nixon having the highest IQ, at 155. President G. W. Bush was rated the lowest of all the Republicans with an IQ of 91. T
The six Democrat presidents had IQs with an average of 156, with President Clinton having the highest IQ, at 182. President Lyndon B. Johnson was rated the lowest of all the Democrats with an IQ of 126.

Well 'person' is a very vague term...you could come up with anyone over the last 5000 years of human history.
But I believe there was a survey done, asking many of the best scientists all over the world who they thought was the most influential/most intelligent scientist of the history of modern scientist. Obviously Einstein was among the top, but I believe the title actually went to Newton - and thinking about it, there's no denying why. He basically founded modern physics.

Me.
Though, if for some reason you have trouble believing that (though I don't know why you would...), here's some facts (keep in mind, it's unknown who the most intelligent person is, no one knows for sure):
-The highest IQ score ever attained is assigned to Leonardo DaVinci.
-According to the Guiness Book of Records, the smartest person was ten-year-old Marilyn vos Savant (though her IQ score was probably surpassed by Bobby Fisher, the chess player).
-Some psychologists believe that William James Sidis reached the maximum capacity for a human.
