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?

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.

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.

Except Santa isn't fictional. The Jesus we know today has about as much common with the original Jesus as Santa has got to do with Saint Nicholas.

And anyway, the correct answer to this is obviously Patrik Antonius.
