Top 10 Most Overrated People of All Time
This list is to show people who RECEIVE TOO MUCH CREDIT OR SUPPORT for some or no reason.
Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer, navigator, colonizer and citizen of the Republic of Genoa. Overestimated the size of Asia, claimed to discover America while the natives and Leif Erickson discovered them before, and treated the Natives like absolute trash. Meh.
Contrary to popular belief, he wasn't the first to arrive to America, he wasn't the first to conclude that the Earth was round. And to make things worse, he didn't even arrive to North America at all. Worst of all, he caused a genocide towards the native territory. And the truth is, Christopher Columbus is actually evil and should not be considered one of the greatest people of all time.
Hmmm let's see... He claimed and lied about discovering America when there were already Native Americans living there... Captured and enslaved them for his own good... Exploited the people and the Americas... Sold children into sexual slavery... And that's not even the extent to what he's done. Just a horrible man and I'm glad a lot more know the truth now.
Let's see, he didn't discover the earth was round, he never set foot in America, he kidnapped and enslaved Natives, he basically had to beg the king to fund his voyage, and thought the earth was WAYY smaller than it actually is.
Thomas Alva Edison was an American inventor and businessman, who has been described as America's greatest inventor. Thomas Edition change our lives by opening up a company and hire scientist, technician and engineer to work in harsh environment with low pay, forcing them to research how to light a bulb while he seats comfortably at his office drinking coffee. When the bulb is light up he gain from it financially and fame although the "lighting up the bulb" wasn't he's doing nor work. Its was his employee who been working in harsh and dangerous laboratory to finally light the fire in that glass.
Let's see: he electrocuted innocent animals with AC, he killed one of his own patents with radiation poisoning, nearly blinded himself trying to show that X-rays could cure ailments like blindness and cared for nothing except to make money...
Yeah, definitely best scientist ever.
Thomas Edison didn't invent the lightbulb; he only improved it. Everything you learned about him in school was either very exaggerated or it never happened at all.
Yeah, he electrocuted an elephant just to prove his point: That AC was deadly; Tesla was better than him even though he was kind of sexist and racist.
Muhammad ibn Abdullah (570 AD - 632 AD) was an Arab religious, social, and political leader and the founder of the world religion of Islam. According to Islamic doctrine, he was a prophet, divinely inspired to preach and confirm the monotheistic teachings of Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and other prophets. He is believed to be the Seal of the Prophets within Islam. Muhammad united Arabia into a single Muslim polity, with the Quran as well as his teachings and practices forming the basis of Islamic religious belief. He made an example, for whole mankind, to follow through his own life. He's a role model for all, who wanted to succeed in their lives. Best person ever!
Sorry to all the people who would be offended by the comment, but he did a lot of bad stuff.
Muhamad was just a stupid child molester and schizophrenic womanizer who killed hundreds and thousands people who didn't believed his lies. and nowaday ISIS and buoko haram are muhamads grand children
OK, I studied him. Worst ass ever!

Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill was a British statesman who was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. Churchill was also an officer in the British Army, a historian, and a writer. Winston Churchill should be higher up!
I appreciate all of his great achievements, but he wasn't the best person around at all. He treated Indians horribly and let thousands of them starve to death!
What are Jesus and Moses doing up there? At least, they didn't let people starve to death. They cared for all of us and tried to make the world a better place for everyone to live!
He was a good speaker
Mother Teresa (26 August 1910 – 5 September 1997), also known as Saint Teresa of Calcutta, was an Albanian-Indian Roman Catholic nun and missionary. Although her passport name was Mary Teresa Bojaxhiu, she was born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, in Üsküb—now Skopje, capital of North Macedonia. After living in Skopje for eighteen years, she moved to Ireland and then to India, where she lived for most of her life.
On September 5th, 2016, Pope Francis Canonized Mother Teresa, making her St. Teresa of Calcutta. One of the pillars of western propaganda.
She doesn't deserve her saint status.
She is god I love her

She married Prince Charles on 29 July 1981, and separated from him in 1992 before finally divorcing him in 1996. She was killed in a car crash on 31 August 1997. Especially with all those people decrying the Queen's death and using Diana as justification
Kim Kardashian of 80s.
Barack Hussein Obama II (born August 4, 1961) is an American politician who served as the 44th president of the United States from 2009 to 2017. He was the first African-American president of the United States.
A member of the Democratic Party, he previously served as a U.S. senator from Illinois from 2005 to 2008 and as an Illinois state senator from 1997 to 2004. Funny how people automatically assume you're racist for saying something negative about him, when I'm doing what MLK told us to do: judge people by content of character, not color of skin. He's the reason why our economy is the way it is, employment went down, and the media became manipulated by bias because of him. How do you think Hitler came into power? By manipulating the media.
"Oh, you're racist if you dare criticize my man, Obama, even if it's on his actions and not his color." Obama's fans make sports fans look like angels.
Real talk: his Obamacare tore the economy apart in the long term. Sadly, too many people are too blinded, ignorant, and stubborn to see this.
The only thing that he actually did was wreck half of the country with Obamacare. Let in millions of illegals and got us into a mess with ISIS. And people like him?

Yes indeed, you left wingers are really on the ball!
He never did good
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was the preeminent leader of the Indian independence movement in British-ruled India. He came to South Africa and called black people lazy and uncivilized and that they spend their lives trying to get cattle to buy wives. Which I find insulting to our tradition.
Gandhi has been spoken and praise to much, many people say his a "civil right" type of guy... By what? Protesting excessive land-taxes which every human in other country outside India is paying, by commenting offensive racial slur against African tribe culture and separating the Muslim and Hindu so that they could kill each other 50 years later...
India won independence thanks to Subhash Chandra Bose and WWII. Gandhi was ineffective as hell, unlike what you people believe
You westerners do not know hiw crazy and ineffective this guy was.

Overrated horrible jerk who somehow brainwashed 40% of the population of America to believe his lies

She's insane, corrupted, and would've destroyed the US if she was elected. The Media may disagree, but what do they know? They probably get all of their news from celebrity gossip and Liberal Central Twitter.

She became interested in country music when she was around 9 years old, and after watching a documentary about Faith Hill, Swift felt that she should go to Nashville to begin a country music career.

Not inappropriate like most of today's artists but overrated as hell.

Jesus is just like Muhammad, a clone I say and the only different is one is a founder of Muslim and one is a founder of Christianity, they both pedophiles, murderer, liar and a hypocrite. The reason I put Jesus on top of Muhammad in this list is because since the population of Christians is more than Muslim... Than Jesus is more overrated than Muhammad.
He was a good man, and as a Christian I understand why he gets worshipped, it is part of their religion. But being also Jewish, it seems everyone expects you to love Jesus and cannot seem to respect the fact that there are other religions too.
I do not hate the religion of Christianity but on the most influential people of all time Jesus was ranked #1 most influential person but Mohammad is more influential.
Religion and the concept of deities is an illusion that has deceived mankind for thousands of years.
