Who is the most famous person in the world ever

What about Joe Calazaghe he is the unbeaten boxing world champion for his weight, 11 titles, and he as two more fights before he retires and i bet he wins those two titles too, i think Joe should get it he has brought a lot to the boxing sport and should be recognised for it.

Never heard of any of them Samuel. :) I voted for Elvis.

Can we really not think of any other famous women? Surely mother Teresa deserves a slot. If Jesus is in the running then my vote has to be with St Nic - good ol santa!

without a doubt elvis dont have to say second name its instantaneos

Most famous where? If it's in Britain then John Lennon or William Shaespeare etc are front runners. However, if it's the whole world then Shakespeare slips down the list and even Lennon is less famous outside UK and USA. World wide Mandela or Ghandi are probably better known as they did more humanitarian work rather than just 'celebrity' work (for want of a better definition). If it's who is known by the most people in the world I'd vote Mandela - if it's known by most people in the UK it must be the Queen - if it's most popular then perhaps it's Elvis - who knows? All very subjective, of course, but by posting this comment I'm hoping I may have moved up into the top billion!.
