The most famous Person in the world

I've been doing a little research on who is the most famous in the WHOLE WORLD well here is the result

Who is the most famous person in the world? In: Celebrities, History

The 2009 "most famous" would be the new President of the United States, Barack Obama. However, this is usually true of contemporary politicians in the media.

The historically famous would include Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, and similar religious leaders, who are well-known to a large segment of the world's population.

The historically "infamous" are likewise remembered for some time, such as Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin for the 20th Century, and Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein for the early 21st Century.

Only the founders of religions are guaranteed notoriety for more than a few generations after their deaths. Should their religions lose their followers, they, too, will be mostly forgotten. "Ozymandias", by Percy Bysshe Shelley, illustrates the futility of an individual's legacy over a long span of time.

Other Living famous/well known people are Bill GAtes, The Queen of England, Warren Buffet, Richard Branson, Paul MacCartney, The pope and Michael Jackson
