Answer 5

That is a debatable point and I'm sure everyone will give a different answer.  According to one source, it is Queen Elizabeth II, of England.  "I imagine if you showed a picture of her anywhere in the world she would be instantly recognisable."  That may be true, but we don't hear much about her anymore.  Those in the UK probably hear about her daily, but I don't know about worldwide.

I also thought of the Pope, but only as the Pope, not his name as separate from previous Popes.  I'll bet most people couldn't tell you the name of the current Pope (Benedict XVI).

If you look through the covers of the various entertainment magazines, you will probably see Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt more than anyone else, but I doubt that these are seen worldwide.

According to askmen.com, It is 1) the Pope, 2) Queen Elizabeth, and 3) Michael Jackson!  I think that must have been an old answer.  The picture shown of the Pope appears to be Pope John Paul II, rather than the current Pope.

I would say that the person seen the most, and whose name is heard the most on television right now is Barack Obama.  His face probably wouldn't be all that recognizable around the world, but I'll bet his name is.  After all, the US News channels are seen worldwide.

All the Republicans out there will be foaming at the mouth when they see this answer, but please remember that this question is not a popularity contest, but who is the most famous.  Try turning to one of the News channels and see who is mentioned the most.  Also, you could go to the Politics section of Y/A and count names, if you don't believe it.

I think this is a rather odd question for the Astronomy and Space section.

Answer 10

Silly as it might sound I would have to go with Jesus. Only because I think Christianity is still the worlds largest religion (not best necessarily and not by my count) and the majority of the world is some religion or other.
