Re: Who is most recognizable worldwide?
 

I think Yao Ming should be in the top 5, top 10 at least. A billion people know who he is. Much more so than Jordan or Tiger.

Jacko.... people with crappy taste in music the world over love this freak

Re: Who is most recognizable worldwide?
 

I didn't even know who david beckham was until I googled it just a second ago.

Re: Who is most recognizable worldwide?
 

Out of these people I can't imagine the pope being in anything but last place.
I'd guess first place is between Beckham and McCartney, Bush third, Jordan and Woods meh.

Re: Who is most recognizable worldwide?
 

George W. Bush - obvious I think since everyone has an opinion on him
Michael Schumacher - Everywhere else except US knows him
Tiger Woods - popular US/China, what about S. America/India?
David Beckham - Football(soccer) media whore
Michael Jordan - Fading
Paul McCartney - Faded
Pope Benedict XVI - only ~16% of the world is Catholic
