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.
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.

Muhammad united Arabia into a single... read more He married a young girl and didn't know how to read...dumb ass...Why is he a big deal in the Middle East? They name their stupid sons after this guy?
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.
Kimberly Noel Kardashian (known as Kim Kardashian; formerly West; born October 21, 1980) is an American socialite, media personality, and businesswoman.

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?

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.

She doesn't deserve her saint status.

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.
Ugly and unhappy hag

He will destroy the country once president, hopefully he wouldn't be president though.
Sure, he kept the job count near stable in COVID-19 era by making new jobs, but… that's kinda all he done for the US. Not to mention he handled the post-election awfully and just wasnt as good as most Trump fans think

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

A member of the Democratic Party, she was the party's nominee for president in the 2016 presidential election, becoming the first woman to win a presidential nomination by a major U.S. political party; Clinton won the popular vote, but lost the Electoral College vote, thereby losing the election to Donald Trump. 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.
