Who is the most famous living person in the whole world?

[OnWisconsin]

But he is still known

but famous, worldwide known? a lot of 6 year olds across the world know the name tiger, but not MJ.....or so i'm guessing

it's about time i get my catfish breading made.....i'm thinking, flour, yellow corn meal, ceyanne pepper, paprike, salt and pepper.....any ideas?

I actually know several young kids that know who MJ is.If a kid plays basketball,more than likely,they know of MJ

yeah, but how many kids in asia? hell, they have yao ming, the hell with jordan....plus, jordan's been laying low for awhile.....pops up every so often, but not much going on that someone 5,000 miles away would give a shit about....tiger's killing him right now in world wide recognition i would expect

Doesn't everyone know who Bill Gates is?I'm sure that is even taught in school.

You would think it would be taught in school. But I live in Oklahoma. And the media just recently made a big story about how 50% the highschool kids here when asked what the Oklahoma City bombing was and who caused it, didn't have a clue. And that was just 15 years ago. So much of what or who is and isn't popular has just as much to do with age as it does georgraphy or culture.

Yep, it makes feel a little old too. The reason I'll never forget the Federal Building bombing is I was in that same building for jury duty just a month before it was bombed.

dalai lama must be the most well known (in terms of number of ppl recognizing he exists) as you get the entire populations of india, china, and then much of the rest of the industrialized world.

The most famous people in the world at the time they lived are usually the ones who were the most hated. Not the most liked. Hitler would have won hands down in his day. I think the name that most cultures would be familiar with at least in the first decade of the 2000's would have been Osama Bin Laden. A hardcore Muslim would be much more familiar with Bin Laden than they would any sports or music figure. And Muslims take up a lot of geographical space in this world. Along with the U.S. and Europe. Who be hatin' Bin Laden.

I agree with your thinking, in order to be the most famous person in the world, that person had to be recognized in India, Iraq, Afghanastan, etc. etc. etc.
