Who is most recognizable worldwide?
 

Not who is good, who sucks, not who is most important. Just who would people most recognize a picture of. For the pope, lets assume that you'd have to pick Benedict out of pictures of various popes.

Rank them:

Tiger Woods
Michael Jordan
Paul McCartney
David Beckham
George W. Bush
Pope Benedict XVI

Most of the people will not be able to tell a difference between Bush and Beckham, let alone Woods and Jordan [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

You know why?

Can you tell a difference between Kim Chen Ir and Mao? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'd estimate less than 1% of world Catholics can do this, let alone out of everyone.

I think Oprah would be in that group, and select actors that starred in international hits (think DiCaprio and Winslet, and probably Tom Cruise).

Edit: I suck at reading OP - the post quoted before me is probably correct, although I think Jordan is more recognizable than the Pope.
