had an interesting conversation at dinner last night with a family member. We were trying to figure out the most famous person EVER.... maybe Hitler, Gandhi, a Pope, or some other world leader.... but we kept coming back to Jackson.... who do you think was or is the most famous person ever.... Michael Jordan?

I think Jesus/God would take that honor hands down. I don't know of anyone that prays to Michael Jordan.

Yeah, it's Michael Jackson. No argument. Michael Jackson is real so can't compare him to God. That makes no sense.

For the sake of not turning this into "religious argument #9956436" can we say most famous mortal, celebrity?

It's between Ali, Michael Jackson and Michael Jordan.

Still Under-rated = Genghis Khan.........He had a massive impact on the world...Opened east vs west trading, pioneer of religious tolerance of all religions throughtout empire, had a massive empire land-wise that he conquered (one of the biggest ever after starting real small) , 500+ wives with something like a ridiculous 1 in 7 Central Asians today tracing roots back directly to him....The Muslims and some others view him as a Barbarian, but only cause he kicked their ass and the Mongols kept very little records which is why they call it History (His Story)....Obviously, if somebody kicks ur country's ass u gonna record that person or people in history as a Barbarian

And he was outnumbered by a large margin in battles, but still won which is why the U.S. Military and other militaries around the world still study his tactics today (I've heard several U.S. generals talk about him with high praise).........Plus, he had a Pony Express for communication throughout his large empire long before the U.S. had one

I would say Ali without a doubt. I would have said Elvis as second but he wasn't as famous worldwide.

Holy crap! I figured who Adopt Butler is.......

Adolf Hitler

Maybe he was going for a joke or was typing drunk.
