Top 10 Most Famous People of All Time
Whether famous for their positive influence, good deeds, and memorable accomplishments, or infamous as a result of their wickedness and atrocities, these are the people in history whose names are well known today and will continue to be spoken for generations to come.
The poor man from Galilee who is responsible for the direction of the entire world, who died espousing his message until his final cry, who left behind revered men almost as influential as he, in whose name wars were fought, for whom millions have died, of whom all men sing, and whose name 1.6 billion people speak with awe - Jesus Christ, son of God, who was crucified under Pontius Pilate, rose again on the third day in accordance with the scriptures, and paid the debt he did not owe.
Heaven and Earth may pass away, but his words will endure forever.

Everyone on Earth has heard of Michael Jackson in their lifetime. There will never be another like him - the greatest artist of all time.
Obviously, Michael Jackson is the most famous and greatest human being to ever live. He profoundly changed the world and did the most loving and caring things for children and people in need.
He revolutionized the music industry and is the greatest dancer of all time. No one will ever beat him. He was, is, and always will be the best person that has ever lived.

Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is the greatest prophet, and we will always remember his actions. He truly deserves to be number 1!
Our Prophet Muhammad SAW is the best man ever! No one compares to him! Michael Jackson, Jesus, they can never be above the humanity of our beloved prophet. While Michael has been doing charity for some years, our Prophet, 1400 years ago, started the organization of charity called Hilful Fuzul. He taught this world how to forgive and how to be humanitarian. No one can be above him!
A person who is more charitable and better than a person who feeds others without eating himself. At least Michael, Ya Allah, I am like a fool, who am I comparing with! In any case, no one, no human can be equal to the Prophet. Our Prophet used to tie stones to his stomach even when he was hungry. Even though he owned a lot of property during that period, he did not keep anything for himself and gave it all to the poor and afflicted.
Did Michael or anyone else feed others without eating themselves? Never! Even though he owns so much property, he gave it all away, not indulging in the luxury of enjoying even a little bit. No one can do this! I can challenge! So first, we should know more about the Prophet, and then we can really see that he is the one who deserves to be number one! No one else!

Hitler will go down as one of the most historical figures in all of history. He is one of the most evil men in history, and everyone will remember him for what he did.
Adolf Hitler is history's most famous monster. Everyone knows who he is. The argument that a kindergartner wouldn't know who he is doesn't convince me of anything, as those kids will all have heard of Hitler before they reach middle school. I don't know how famous Jesus is outside of Western nations, but I assume Hitler is known in every nation. He is the closest a person has ever come to being the devil in human form since radios and mass communication became available, simply due to the scale of destruction he caused and how much he changed the entire world. He is remembered the way Genghis Khan would be remembered had modern technology existed during the 13th century. He is the ultimate bad guy that people can see videos and clear photos of.

Albert Einstein is the smartest person of all time. He has inspired countless numbers of geniuses and influenced all the technological advances that we have today.
It's because people say he is one of the smartest individuals the world has ever had. We humans like to be better than others, and being smarter than Einstein will only make it better for the world. Those who are smarter than Einstein often contribute good things to the world.
Reading the reviews, I learned some things I never knew. Albert is somewhat like my idol, and he deserves #6. He was a great scientist who made life easier for future generations. When people hear the words "famous scientist," most think about Einstein. He may not be the best, but he is the best.

The greatest president in U.S. history. He put an end to the worst civil war in history and was a champion for human rights after he freed the slaves. One of the most admired figures in history.
Abraham Lincoln is considered to be the greatest President of all time. He ended slavery and gave African Americans the freedom they had always been fighting for.
He united the country more than it had ever been after the most divided civil war ever.
Anyone can relate to Lincoln, no matter who they are. In some way, he has positively impacted the lives of all Americans for the past 150 years. He was a great man but also just a man. He was humble and liked to tell dirty jokes. When I learn about him, I can see myself in him. I think that's why he is so loved.

Music, and even the culture of America and the world, has never been quite the same since Elvis Presley's last breath and heartbeat that day in August 44 years ago. Though God gave humanity the gift of the short life of Elvis Aron Presley on loan, sadly, Generation X and 21st-century millennials think that boomers overrate him.
Boomers are not actually the biggest fans. Pre-boomers are. The fact is, Elvis Presley arrived on stage in his prime in the mid-1950s, before boomers came of age. Boomers didn't come of age until the 1960s and 1970s, when the Beatles arrived on the music scene.

Love him or hate him, Donald Trump will go down in history as one of the most influential figures of all time. He will be studied for generations, and everyone will know exactly who he is.
President Trump is easily the greatest president since Teddy Roosevelt, and maybe the greatest ever. The press and global elites have all colluded to try to tear him down, like they've tried to do to many others before - including the President's longtime friend, the late Michael Jackson - but they simply can't.
He's pursuing peace in the Middle East and the Korean Peninsula, crafted and passed great trade deals, dramatically cut taxes, and much more, all while the corrupt evils of the world attempt to bring him down.

She is one of the biggest role models for women everywhere. She went through so much in her life, fought for herself, and faced intense public scrutiny. The true princess of the people.
The most famous woman to ever live is and is considered to be the queen of the people. Princess Diana of Wales is one of the most beloved and influential figures the world has ever seen.
By far the most famous woman of the twentieth century. She was loved by all, from every corner of the Earth, for her beauty, passion, and heart. Unlike others whose fame comes and goes, her fame will endure beyond time, and she will forever be in our hearts.

Obviously, the first Black president of the U.S. is one of the most famous figures in history. Whether you like him or not, he opened a door that no man had been able to open before.
Obama is much better than Trump in a variety of ways. Instead of saying the election was rigged and challenging it until inauguration day, Obama transferred power in a humble way.
When Biden got elected, Donald Trump said the election was rigged and only wanted to count the votes from Election Day. He challenged Biden's win for months after Biden humbly accepted his victory.
The Newcomers

The Wright brothers clearly deserve to be high on this list. They invented a device that changed the entire world.
The Wright brothers never gave up. No matter what obstacle they met, they always overcame it.

Ryan is such a good guy and really had a positive impact on my life. Go Ryan!

Buddha lived a long time before us, yet he still has many followers around the world. Love him or hate him, he is undeniably one of the most famous people in world history.
Master was great. His teachings reflect human life as it is. He was one of the first to sacrifice everything and work for human welfare even after attaining enlightenment.
I don't understand this list, which puts even Michael Jackson and Adolf Hitler ahead of Master. Master explained the truth of life and always emphasized reality. He never taught a single thing that was bad, unethical, dishonest, illogical, or impractical in his teachings.

One of the greats. If he wasn't around, we wouldn't have cars, bikes, planes, and helicopters. He achieved so many things. He also created the most amazing painting, the Mona Lisa. What a star! He did so many things, and he was born in the 1400s, yet people still remember him.
Many people might not know why he's famous or what he even looks like, but everyone knows the name and at least some of his art. He even has a whole city named after him!
The very first Renaissance man. Had the world regarded him as a hero much like Jesus Christ, we might be better off today.

He is one of the best actors in the world. A great inspiration, he is humble, charitable, soft-spoken, kind-hearted, passionate, well-read, witty, a brilliant orator, loyal, honest, and a hardworking family man.
He respects all religions and always stands for women's rights. He works single-handedly for women who are acid attack victims. He is funding a cancer treatment ward at Nanavati Hospital entirely on his own, providing free treatment for needy people for many years. He is the most dignified person.
He is the biggest movie star in the world, the world's second-richest actor, and the only actor after whom a moon crater is named. He has four honorary doctorate degrees, was listed among Newsweek magazine's most powerful 50 people around the world, and is a recipient of the UNESCO pyramid and crystal awards for philanthropy.
A rare species of orchid in Singapore is named after him. He is also the recipient of the highest civilian awards of France and Malaysia. He is the only actor on the list of 365 people who changed the world.

MLK Jr. is an obvious choice. He was the man who fought for civil rights and became the biggest role model for African Americans. He led the most significant movement in American history and died fighting for justice.
The most famous African American and is known as their spokesperson. Martin Luther King Jr. is one of, if not the most iconic figures to ever walk this earth.
Martin Luther King Jr. was a man with a lot of hopes. He gave the "I Have a Dream" speech. He was a brave man who wanted to give a voice to freedom for all. He wanted to play a part in an honorable, acceptable world. Martin wanted to be the leader for Black people. He was a good leader for his non-violence beliefs for everyone. He wanted freedom, but not through violence.

Washington, the first president of the United States, was a fair, honest, brave, and kind man. He led the Revolutionary War and had the chance to become king of the U.S.A. He was fair and honest, so he did not become king, because America had just fought a war to be independent from kings and royalty. Why have another king? Washington instead became president. He was always brave and noble. I admire him for that. FACT: At Washington's presidential ceremony, he forgot his Bible, which he needed. Luckily, they were in a church and quickly found a substitute. Now they always bring an extra Bible to presidential ceremonies.

Overall, Nelson Mandela is an amazing person with an unforgettable legacy. I did a report on him and learned about the many positive contributions that this man brought to the world. I believe he is the most inspiring person.
He lived to face enormous challenges and yet forgave those who oppressed him. He continued to stand for reconciliation. He has changed and affected millions positively.
I agree with post 32. He was a very great man. He was in prison and later became a president. Nelson Mandela was at the 1995 and 2007 Championships of the Springboks. He is a very great man, an honorable man. From: Niki Stander.

Best boxer. Had many iconic quotes. WHAT'S MY NAME!? Also, amazing at boxing. Don't call him Cassius Clay, or ask that loser what happens.
He was the greatest entertainer and speaker. He protested against the Vietnam War at the cost of losing all his money and title.
Muhammad Ali, in his time, was the most famous person on the planet. He rivals many famous superstars.

He taught non-violence to the world, which even many gods failed to do. Followers of many gods believe in killing animals and have no mercy for living beings. Mahatma Gandhi followed the principles of the Jain religion, the only true religion in the world, which tells us to live and let live. To me, non-violence is the biggest thing that can change the whole world and save the only planet, Earth.
Future generations may or may not believe that such a person of flesh and blood ever walked on Earth - Albert Einstein. No God took care of our souls. Neither Karl Marx's communism nor any socialist philosophy can break the shackles of blacks. Only the great Gandhi's philosophy can do it. Yes, it has done so. He is the greatest ever to walk on Earth.

He is one of the most phenomenal human beings to ever walk this planet. He has contributed so much that is good, hopeful, cutting-edge, and forward-thinking. We lost so much when he died, but his music, charity, and compassion will always live on!
John Lennon is the lead singer of the most famous band ever, The Beatles. He was also a successful solo artist. He is amazing.
Not only was he already in the most iconic band in pop culture, but he also had the most notable solo career afterward. Singer-songwriter, activist, artist - there's a lot John Lennon did in 40 years.

If you know Jesus, God, the Holy Spirit, and the Bible, you should know Moses. He was one of God's great prophets.
He is one of the most important characters in the Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Islam, and Judaism), so he is a well-known figure by the majority of religious people around the world.
Great person who was a true believer and had a great connection with God.

Well, we ARE talking about famous people, and I know that Gandhi is an amazing human being who can never be forgotten. However, if you were to ask people of all ages who Gandhi is, they might not know what to answer. I bet they could even name a couple of Eminem's tracks. That's just my opinion, though.
Also, based on my experience, quite a large number of young people aren't familiar with Albert Einstein, but they are the ones rapping along to Without Me.
He is the greatest rapper of all time and the best-selling artist of this century. He has so many awards, you can't even count them. Do you know anyone who doesn't know him? No, really, everyone knows Eminem.

The man who initiated the Roman Empire, one of the most influential forces in Europe and Western culture. A symbol of power, he is remembered as one of the most important historical figures.
Should be number 2 - definitely the most well-known ancient leader and one of the greatest minds to ever walk the Earth. The mighty Roman Empire existed because of him.
Caesar's legacy continues to this day. English, Russian, and German all use some variation of the Roman Emperor's name to mean "leader."

Known worldwide for his influence on the sport of basketball and the sports industry as a whole.
Best player ever! Also, a very smart and successful businessman!
The platinum standard for being a winner. The greatest champion ever.

A great playwright and author. He created some of the best plays ever.
He is one of the best poets in all history, and my No. 1 author. His A Midsummer Night's Dream is amazing.
William Shakespeare changed the world forever. He plays a significant role in world literature and invented numerous words we use today, such as "fashionable," "bedroom," "useful," "mimic," "successful," and many more. He is pretty much the greatest poet, playwright, and actor in history. Shakespeare deserves to be higher up on this list.
One of the most famous authors ever, he is still remembered even though he was born in the 1500s. He has written 43 books. He is so amazing and certainly deserves a spot in the top twenty.

Her music may not be the best and the most outstanding nowadays, but no one can claim that she doesn't have talent. After all, she is Queen and she is definitely famous enough to be on this list. I think she should be higher up the list.
She's iconic, like a number 1 queen. Come on, she's low-key making history. We all know her. She's very famous.
She is a beautiful, strong woman who everyone wants to be!
