All the sectors in the universe have been giving birth to key emerging people for every generation. This list of favorite famous personalities is dynamic. Once considered the hero of a field they will eventually be surpassed by the next generation star person. Being a role model and person of inspiration for billions of people irrespective of variations in culture is not an easy spot.

Every such hero will have their own tough path behind reaching that place of fame and wealth. It is never justice to compare two top personalities of the same genre. For example, Dhoni was considered the Best Mr.Cool Captain India but it has nothing to be compared with current captaincy of Virat Kohli or past captaincy of Sourav Ganguly. As commoners, they are humans too who differ from each other in every aspect.
