The best way to answer that question is to flip the sign bit and the verb tense. Whom do we remember best from the past one thousand years? Or longer? The best way to be remembered across the millenia is to be either a sage of some sort (philosopher, mathematician, prophet, law-giver) or to kill a lot of people (conqueror, ruler, and so forth). Therefore, the people who lived in the past hundred years who will be best remembered a thousand years from now will be Vladimir Lenin, Josef Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Mao Tse-Tung, Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, and some thinkers that you've never heard of but that ultra-conservative Christians love to quote. "Those of you who will live into the twenty-first century, come put a wreath on my grave, because this will be the slogan: No more twentieth centuries…" - Isaac Asimov (1974) Have a nice day, and pleasant dreams.
