It depends on which IQ test you took. If you took the most common test, the Cattel B III test, a score of IQ 148 or higher is required.
The only requirement is that the test you take is on their list of acceptable tests, and that you rank in the top two percent of people who have taken that test. You can also take the test by contacting Mensa.

American Mensa does not accept the TerraNova achievement test. They do except the Test of Cognitive Skills with a composite score of 98% or above and the InView with a composite score of 98% or above. Of course, Mensa reserves the right to alter or change these scores as the tests shown are renormed or restandardized. Mensa will appraise all applications individually and reserves the right to make the final determination about the acceptability of any test.
Here you go..this is from their international website. The requirements for membership (as to be expected) are the same everywhere. Membership in Mensa is open to persons who have attained a score within the upper two percent of the general population on an approved intelligence test that has been properly administered and supervised. There is no other qualification or disqualification for membership eligibility. The term "IQ score" is widely used but poorly defined. There are a large number of tests with different scales. The result on one test of 132 can be the same as a score 148 on another test. Some intelligence tests don't use IQ scores at all. Mensa has set a percentile as cutoff to avoid this confusion. Candidates for membership in Mensa must achieve a score at or above the 98th percentile on a standard test of intelligence (a score that is greater than or equal to that achieved by 98 percent of the general population taking the test). Generally, there are two ways to prove that you qualify for Mensa: either take the Mensa test, or submit a qualifying test score from another test. There are a large number of intelligence tests that are "approved". More information on whether a test you have taken is approved, as well as information on the procedure for taking the Mensa test, can be obtained from the nearest Mensa office. There are no on-line tests that can be used for admission to Mensa. Feel free to contact Mensa for specific details about eligibility. Mensa has no other eligibility requirements other than IQ testing. However, many tests are not valid for people under the age of 16. You should contact the nearest Mensa office for more information.

It is unknown what Robin Williams's IQ was, but he was a member of Mensa. To join Mensa, one must achieve a score at or above the 98th percentile on a standard test of intelligence, but this score ranges by IQ test. It is nearly always about 132, though.
The fact that you include he's already a member of the MENSA Organisation, would lead me to the conclusion that he's considered a "Genius" primarily on the grounds that his Intelligence Quotient(IQ) i.e.Stanford-Binet Intelligence scales,(score) was atleast a minimum score is 132,anything lower is unacceptable to MENSA. A score above 132 would rank him in the top 2%,thus being considered a "Genius".
