Public Figures Accused of Being Part of Secret Societies

Whether you believe in them or not, secret societies are a lot of fun to think about and research. If you've been on the internet for more than just a few minutes, you may have even found a video or two detailing secret societies like the Illuminati, many of which people believe celebrities and billionaires are a part of.

There are quite a few distinct people who are connected to these groups (if that's true or not, that's a different story). Click through the slideshow for public figures accused of being part of secret societies. Do any of these surprise you?
