With all respect for Paul Graham I don't think he deserves a place on this list. Steve Jobs is 195 and Nelson Mandela is 192.

  #2 is Korean popstar Rain.

    Even more reason for pg not to be on the list.

    It's done by popular vote over the internet; the list is not overly meaningful.

  Just putting this out there...Paris Hilton hit #173, Amy Winehouse was #174. Maybe if YC replaced PG with a young substance abusing woman it would be more popular with the media.

  When "High School Musical Cast" is #42, we've obviously got bigger problems.

  I was surprised to see Steve Jobs and Nelson Mandela at the end, IMHO they should be way higher. Most of the people on the list I really do not know. I recognized a few artists, but thats all. The pope is number 74, I suppose there are only 1,131,000,000 catholics in the world.
