With only 7 billion people on the planet the theoretical IQ maximum is around 190. You can calculate this value from the CDF (cumulative distribution function) of a normal probability distribution having a mean of 100 and std of 15 (the definition of the IQ graph). Unfortunately the integral of normal pdf is the error function which is difficult to solve with high precision.
