Most famous person in the world
 

Based on the Oprah vs fiddy thread. Who do you think is the most famous person in the world? ie picture or name recognition or the largest % of the entire worlds population. Answers for both real and fictional.

I'll propose Jesus, Mohammad, Tiger Woods, George Bush, Osama Bin Laden, Micheal Jackson, Ronald McDonald and Santa to get things started.

I'm pretty sure Ronald scoops it, but I haven't seen much press on him in the last few years, so I could be living in the past.

Jesus and it's not close. Make it the most famous person alive and there might be some room for discussion.

Jesus, not close?

Re: Most famous person in the world
 

Jesus FTW. He is a figure in the Qur'an as well as the Bible. Wouldn't this be a lot more interesting if we stuck with living people?

Re: Most famous person in the world
 

jesus? are you serious? can we exclude people who nobody even knows what they might have looked like? the idea of including jesus is even more retarded because the image that most people associate with his name is clearly not even close to what he might have looked like if he did exist.

including jesus makes as much sense as including santa.

Muhammad Ali > Tiger Woods

I did include Santa, and also said we should have one for real and one for fictional, by which you can include Jesusif you wish.

I think you guys might be underestimating the amount of hindu's etc in the world but ok we can take biblical characters as read if you wish.
