Top 5 Most Famous People in the WORLD
I started this thread in another forum and it quickly turned into a massive debate over who makes the top 5 list. Thought I would bring it here and see what the bright people of the DevNetwork Forums say about their top 5 list.
As far as pure name-recognition... who would you say makes the top 5 list of most famous LIVING people in the WORLD? Rank them in numerical order.

People like Oprah and Donald Trump simply aren't well known outside of the west. If you add up the population of Europe, North America, South America .. you're only just approaching the populations of India or China. Also, you have to bear in mind that large amounts of the world still rely on newspapers and cinema .. people famous through television aren't going to get their message to a wide international audience.
My list:
1. George Bush
2. Hu Jintao (Thats the president of China if you don't know)
3. Manmohan Singh (President of India)
4. Bill Gates
5. Elizabeth Winsor (Queen of the UK)

- Is John Wayne still alive? If so he's my 5th.
