Examples are: Jesus Christ, Julius Cesar, William the Conqueror, Adolf Hitler, Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Elvis Presley, Pele, Winston Churchill, Nelson Mandela, etc
Think of time, e.g. years B.C., 1000, 1900, 2006, etc. Julius Cesar was a great leader but do poor people in Africa know more about him or David Beckham? More people in time probably would know Cesar, but present time there is huge media attention stretching to just about every person on the current planet.
Politicians and Leaders change the world and the way we live, but presently people pay more attention to sport, music, films, etc than politics. Does this make Pele, Elvis, Tiger Woods, etc more well know than the Queen or Osama Bin Laden?
Think of different countries. Churchill is a hero in England, but do Russians know who he is? Who made an impact on every country in the world?

Written in the year 3010
Nilux the wise (old fool) who lived in a cave just up my street about a thousand years ago. His thoughts laid down the basis for a civilised structured world. It's a sad fact that Nilux used the local scribe Gillbates who was popular at the time, Gillbates as we now know was unable to keep structured records. Many attempts have been made to recover Gillbates writings with varying degrees of success. Much of the recovery is fragmented and each successive scholar claims that they have a closer version of the original. Wars have been fought, factions have formed and failed, communities hate each other for their views.
Bring back Nilux the greatest person that ever lived

You would have to go to extremes of the spectrum to find your answer. A religious entity such as Jesus would have to be top three b/c even if you don't practice Christianity you know of him. Hitler would have to be top three as well. He, and his followers, involved the world not once, but twice in global feuds. And if you wanted an entertainer that the world knows Elvis or Madonna or the Beatles would rank very high on any list.

Jesus Christ is the best know figure in all the world. All over He is known. The country He was born in is the Middle East, Jerusalem. The reason is because He is the Son of God the Father. His statue is high on a mountain in Brazil. He is known in many books, churches, chapels, countries. Jesus is the most well known. all over.

of all time probably Jesus Christ because there are so many Christians who obviously have to know of him and most non Christians would still have an idea of who he was
also Christianity is a worldwide thing, you cant say people in Russia wouldn't know about it
