Who is the world's biggest living Celebrity?

[Thunder Dan]

My friends and I had this discussion this weekend, and we came up with this list. Who do you think the world's biggest Celebrity is? We chose to not allow politicians so don't vote for Obama,Bush or any of the Royal Families. The person must be living. We based the argument on, if they all showed up to the same hotel whether it is in New York, a small town in Germany, or somewhere in Japan, and there was only one room left- who wouldn't get turned away.

These are the people that made out list. If there is someone missing vote other and mention them


I voted for Mick Jagger because he is the lead singer of what basically is the 2nd best band ever in the world. His face is recognizable by hundreds of millions of people- maybe even billions. He has been in the public eye for well over 40 years, and you know who they are referring to with the symbol of just lips. I voted him over McCartney in a tough choice.

Michael Jordan or Oprah.

[monosylab1k]

Oprah easily.

And McCartney is bigger than Mick. Mick needs Keith by his side for people to care.

I questioned even putting Oprah on the list- the thought of someone at a hotel turning one of the Beatles or the lead singer of the Stones away for Oprah just seemed too ridiculous

[CuckingFunt]

Michael Jackson. Still.

Is that someone at the hotel a woman?

could be, just a random person

I guess gender matters, but still. I mean Jordan is the biggest in my own personal life, but I would still have to give the room to Jagger. I would feel really bad to turn Jordan away, but Jagger is bigger


It's a pretty good argument and discussion. We already have 6 votes for 6 different people on the list. It's hard to eliminate anyone from it either. The person to fall off the list in 9th place was Tom Cruise

And that's it right there. Men will argue over & choose any one of the men on that list, but women will almost unanimously pick Oprah. Sheer numbers gives it to Oprah, she's got 50% of the population behind her by default.

How so?

I assume your point is that women would choose Oprah because they like her more, but, even if that were true, isn't the question "who is the biggest celebrity"? Maybe that would be an issue if the thread was asking which big celebrity we liked the most, but I just don't see it as is.

Isn't that pretty much the same thing? She's easily the most powerful of everyone listed, loved by pretty much everybody, and she's got one half of the human race in her back pocket.

well since they are all basically in that uber celeb stratosphere we kind of found it difficult to rank them and argue with achievements. Like how do you compare what Jordan did to what Michael Jackson or Paul McCartney did? How can you take Oprah and compare her to Tiger Woods? So we basically made is about who would your average person be star struck the most to see. Which one of them, if they all walked in the door together, would the average person mention first when they told their friends. Just assuming the average person could be a guy or girl, white or black, rich or poor. I understand that all of those factors will play a role in who they would choose, but try to look at it as more of a big picture. If you took 100 random, average, people who would top out?

I don't know why you assume that she's automatically got the female vote. I know just as many women who hate Oprah as love her.

[monosylab1k]

And the fact that Muhammad Ali's name isn't even spelled right probably means he doesn't belong.

[englishspursfan]

the pope.

Oprah could endorse brushing your teeth with dog , and the next day 90% of the women you see would have brown ass teeth.

he is last on my list so it's no surprise I didn't know how to spell his name

[Thunder Dan]

the pope.

I don't think the new pope is as big as any of the listed celebs at this point. Maybe the last Pope, but I don't even know if I would recognize the new Pope if I saw him walking in a Mall.

[CuckingFunt]

I didn't take the hotel analogy into consideration when voting. I just went with Michael Jackson because, despite not having given us anything other than weirdness, molestation, and crappy music in the last 20 years or so, he still draws massive crowds camping out outside his hotel room in whatever podunk, third world corner of the globe he visits.

[florige]

Michael Jordan or Michael Jackson easy. Any and everybody can associate those two names with their profession. Tiger probably in a few more years.

[Strike]

Oprah, depending on whether or not she recently dieted.

You meant biggest as in fattest, right?

[mardigan]

I would still think Elvis is bigger than both Mcartney or Jagger, although I'm not sure where he would rank overall on this list.

Are you one of those guys who still thinks he's alive?

[IronMexican]

Tiger Woods

I didn't even see the living part.
