Garth Brooks, I don't know of anyone who hasn't heard a Garth song. Even if they don't like the music, they know of him.

And J.K. Rowling. With all the stink her books brought into this world, I don't know who hasn't heard of her or at least read some of her work.

I must say President Barack Obama. His name and face are known everywhere in the world, even in some reclusive tribe in Afrika.

I have no idea who is that man. I know who Michael Jackson, McCartney and Madonna are though.

Yeah, Ellie May, are you thinking about this properly? This is the world, here, not just the US.

Garth Brooks is probably not the most famous person in Country Music.

Not recently, at least.

My husband thinks it could possibly be Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Brad Pitt, or LeBron James. I would think George W. Bush. I think nearly everybody knows who he is.

Definitely going with Obama. When you have people in countries that can't even vote for him, cheering him on to win the presidency, you know the man is famous. Or for that matter, when Koreans write a comic about his life.

I wonder if it's more or less ficticious than his own account.

If this was "who is the most famous person in Germany?" I would completely agree with you.
