He didn't say everybody gets it separately - any number of people can be having their moment at the same time! ! !

Kitoffbeardon ... First of all, I don't think Warhol meant 15 minutes before the whole world literally. And I'll tell you why: Pick a famous person ... Bill Gates, Trump, Letterman, Leno, even the president. I assure you that there's someone out there who doesn't know and doesn't have the time to care.
Also, where did you get that population figure from? When I went to bed last night, the population of the Earth was approx SIX billion, not Sixty. Did something stupendous happen while I was sleeping? Just joshing.
Good luck.

well i've been famous for MORE than 15 minutes, in school. doesn't have to mean famous as in the whole world famous, it can also be famous as in famous in ur school or town or whatever. i'm famous cos i'm obsessed with green day, everybody knows that i am. or when someone gets a new haircut. besides, all warhol did was hang up the right faces, and he got famous for it. i don't know if i really consider him an artist.

It wasn't his exact words and it was a comment about modern society:
Andy Warhol meant that in the west today everybody has the potential and means to be famous, but it is fleeting.

not lots into artwork yet I do love the Velvet Underground. i want to advise the album Songs For Drella from 1990 by employing John Cale and Lou Reed, super testimony to Andy Warhol by employing 2 of the Velvets that knew him properly.

When he stated we would be famous for fifteen minutes, he didn't mean one person at a time.

Well...he never said we'd all be WORLD-famous.
I think there's enough time for all of us to get our place in the 15 minute sunshine. In fact, you can have mine if you want it - I don't really care about it.

but more than one person can be famous at any one time, so you can have 2 million being famous in the same hour.
