I just don't get this... Selena Gomez at #1? Well, Walt was obviously more creative, but tell me what did Selena do to go above Mr. Disney? Tell me...

Also, why is Bella Thorne at #7? I've never heard of her until I found this site.

4 J. K. Rowling Joanne Rowling, CH, OBE, FRSL, FRCPE, writing under the pen names J. K. Rowling and Robert Galbraith, is a British novelist, philanthropist, film and television producer and screenwriter best known for writing the Harry Potter fantasy series.

Even though she is a transphobe, you have to admit Harry Potter is a big franchise.

Harry Potter author.

She's so creative. I love her Harry Potter books. Harry Potter is the best childrens book ever made (even adults read it). If you think Harry Potter sucks than, you haven't read it yet it's such a good book. It is a disciplinary for younger children in a prehistoric way for older kids.

5 Leonardo Da Vinci Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (April 15, 1452 - May 2, 1519) more commonly Leonardo da Vinci or simply Leonardo, was an Italian polymath whose areas of interest included invention, painting, sculpting, architecture, science, music, mathematics, engineering, literature, anatomy, geology, astronomy, botany, writing, history, poetry, and cartography.

6 J. R. R. Tolkien John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (3 January 1892 – 2 September 1973), known by his pen name J. R. R.

I can't believe you put George Lucas in front of Tolkien. He created a universe without any detail and J.R.R Tolkien created a universe with maps, cultures, languages, etc... then you put Lucas in front of Tolkien.

This man created a world full of depth, and creativity. Truly a creative and inspiring person.

he should SO not be here. He belongs above the list on #1 place. Remember, this is the man who created the most awesome universe ever and wrote the three most creative books ever. How is that not creative?

I understand that this list is not going to be completely accurate, but seeing hitler and some singers that didn't even write most of their songs makes me feel ashamed of this list.
