Most famous person in the world?
If someone asked you to name one person, just one, where the mere mention of their name would be enough to be recognized anywhere in the world - who would that be? Historic, or present day, doesn't make a difference.
Curious to see what others think about this. Thanks in advance for any contribution!
(There is no right or wrong answer; goes without saying)

I'd say Obama as well. I don't think there's a single place in this world where his name has not been heard (outside of some small villages/tribes).

Actually, it's Pope John Paul II.
Readily known and recognized in any part of the planet, though he is dead.
His portraits have reached even the remotest tribes of Africa and the Amazon.

From recent news, and someone who was/is an entertainer, not politician or religious figure...most likely Michael Jackson.
Of the folks still living, probably Muhammad Ali.

If we are speaking of who is famous historically, I would say Jesus Christ is the most well-known person in the world.
