Probably Beatles ..especially in their early years...don't sleep on them cacs..they were already taking Europe over by storm by the time they were on Ed Sullivan..then they blew the fukk up. Even John Lennon had to say and to roughly quote him "we're more popular than Jesus".

Any where that Had an empire would have a ruler that would be known across multiple countries
Dont forget the ppl of the atiquities had their own celebrities and stuff and even travelled as tourists in a simiar way to how we do now. The 8 wonders of the world were tourist destinations.

I think you can make a damn good argument for lebron being more famous…it ain’t that far-fetched at all…I see that you used the word “was” tho so if you mean throughout history then ya I’d give the nod to the old bytch…if you mean right now as/is tho then james easily

LeBron is more famous

This seems to be the general consensus
