Who do you think is the most famous person in the world?
Discussion
Obama?
He's known and revered all over Africa unlike a lot of "stars" from the west.
And recognised all over the world in places most Western politicians are not recognised.
He's known to people who have no interest in politics, either because they dislike his skin colour or they recognise the boundaries he's broken.
He's way out in front IMO.

Cristiano Ronaldo.
This is who my money would be on. I'd wager most people in the developed world will know Trump, Queen and Ronaldo, but the power of football in developing countries is so strong almost everyone knows Ronaldo, but might struggle to identify Trump or anyone else relative to the lack of social media/news outlets.parabolica said:

Are "famous" and "known" two different things in this context OP? Also, is this alive, dead or doesn't matter?
Famous. If you showed someone a picture of them, they'd have to be able to say "That is (name)" or a close enough description of their role in the world - ie The Queen isn't her name of course, but for world leaders I'll take the title if they can't give the name. Must be alive.

I reckon a lot of them would identify Trump and Obama pretty easily.
