Adolph Hitler
Everything evil gets compared to him
What is this Jesus ain't real stuff? He was real right, just not God?
lol the fact that Caesar is even mentions shows how euro centric this forum is.
I can name at least 10 historical worlds leaders that's more known than Caesar.
Did you like Louis CK's last special ?
Yet nobody gets his first name right.
It's Adolf btw.

I'd imagine a good chunk of people don't know that Walt Disney was a person before a company in America let alone worldwide. Mickey's popularity is debatable but I don't think he is that recognizable in newer generations.
Nah, Jesus' own existence isn't really confirmed either.
Hitler has only gone about 90 years with most people in the world knowing about him, so that's definitely less than the number of people who have known of Jesus historically.
Mark Walberg.
Ah very true, I didn't think of that.
But since we're talking about newer generations, do you think kids today know about Jesus as much as previous generations?
Are we including populations who have died in the number of humans who recognise a historical figure? Or are we talking "Who's the most famous human for people living right now"? If it's the former, then folks like Hitler, Elvis, or Walt are almost certainly out.
For my money I would say Mr. Alexander the Great. That guy, and his notoriety, got around!
Yes. Even in areas of the world where religions that reference him aren't as prominent as they once were, kids have heard of him.
I guess another way to look at the question is should we allow somebody who may very well have not existed at all if enough people believe that person existed? Or should the line be there at all?
It's possible that my perspective is just wrong. I don't know. There just seems to be a difference between somebody who we think we know a decent bit about their life, like Julius Caesar, and somebody like Jesus who we have sparse information on the man we believe is Jesus but little evidence that backs up a lot of what most people would say happened in his life.
To pose a crude metaphor, in Iron Man 3 an actor played the role of the Mandarin. If 1,000 years later 35% of people in the world believed the fictional version of the character was actually the real person and scholars could only agree that the guy existed and a few other events while the majority of his life was hotly contested, how would he fit in the debate?

Not seeing many mentions of Mao Zedong, though I doubt he can contend for *the* most famous, he's gotta be up there.

Probably a bunch of east and south Asian leaders I don't know about since my school only taught European and American history.

It's gotta be Julius Caesar right?
That actually existed? Tough call.
Mythologically speaking, with no real evidence they were a real person? Probably Jesus.
I guarantee you that messi is better known worldwide than Ali.
