This is an interesting match up because when we look at the personal finances it looks like Donald Trump has a lot more money than Michael Jackson.
We are not talking money here though, as what I want to know is your answer to these questions:
1) Who do you think is more famous?
2) Who is your favorite, Donald Trump or Michael Jackson?
They are both famous for totally different reasons and I know many will not agree with me but my favorite is Michael Jackson, but you surely cannot disagree that Michael Jackson is more famous.

Michael Jackson was more famous than Donald Trump is now when he was only 11. That’s got to speak volumes surely?
Now, unfortunately, Michael Jackson is more famous for all the wrong reasons. His court cases and alleged ‘relations’ with young boys have only furthered the media attention surrounding him rocketing his ‘fame’ to heights Donald Trump can only wish for.
Donald Trump may have more money but, even with all Michael’s recent problems, he still will never be as famous as The King of Pop!
1) Who do you think is more famous?
2) Who is your favorite, Donald Trump or Michael Jackson?
1) Answer - I would say the same but for different reasons, Jackson was more so famous in the 70’s and 80’s then made a comeback in the 90’s then died of for quite a few years until all the crap about him and the kids which i do not believe for one minute happened, he just loves being around kids coz he did not have a childhood (anyway thats another story).
I do not know much about the Trump other that he is mega rich and much more richer than Jackson.
2) Answer - Michael Jackson without a doubt.
May i ask why all these comparisons, what next -
A) Mickey Mouse or Miney Mouse?
B) Iraq War 1 or Iraq War 2?
C) Me or Brad Pitt? Me hands down of course
Well Mark the comparisons get an insight into what people think, and you prove that by saying Michael Jackson is your favorite.
So many people hate Michael Jackson and like Donald Trump a lot more and they know him thanks to his appearance on many TV programmes in the U.S.
So you may find more people like Donald more and think you and me are mad, also Michael could have had more money if he did things different with his spending over the years…so yes this is a good comparison in my view not their careers but for who we like.
1) I live in Spain. Almost nobody knows who is Donal Trump here. Out of USA, Trump is “Donald Who?” for a large amount of people. I can’t imagine a single person in the whole world that doesn’t know Michael Jackson
2) Michael Jackson. Love his art!
1) As above, there isnt a single person on the planet who has a media acces point (radio, tv, film or newspaper/magazines) who does not know Michael Jackson - Donald Trump is famous in America… but not globally in any way, There is alot more to the world that just the States.
2) Michael jackson! lets face it, despite all the media lies (i say lies as both times MJ has been accused of things by ‘bizarre’ families it has been found that he is unanimously NOT GUILTY) people may make out they r not fans but when a jackson song comes on anywhere the whole place jumps up and down. he is loved around the world more than any other entertainer proved by guiness records naming him officially the most successfull entertainer of any kind in History.
What a stupid commparrison this is, am not even goin to answer it because it obvious and it will be more obviouse when jackson brings out his new album which will be immense..
… Come on fokls…!!!
… to MARK:
Hey boy, are you sure that U R living on this PLANET….
Your “claimsô about Mj being famous in the 70s and 80s and then his “comeback” in the 90s…. mean that his is less famous than in that time???
In 1998, there was a global poll where people voted for the most known - famous person … and the result was - Michael was (and he is) known for 98% of people living on the planet…., more famous then Pope John Paul II, Queen Elizabeth or Bill Clinton…!!!
Michaels so called comeback with the 1995 HIStory album and World Tour left very strong message and legacy not only for MJ fans…, the hysteria around the globe have been the biggest which any solo artist (or group) ever has…
In 1996/98 there was the biggest world tour of an artist, see this wideos:

This is just a small examle of what it means to be MIchael Jackson…
BTW…, Trump is the MAN, but what does he have to do in comparing with Michael as the musician and artist…!!!
The fame and popularity of MJ are miles away from Trumps…, come on…
Michael JACKSON is one of the biggest personalities on the planet…., Trump… is Trump… the businessman…
i think michael jackson is defo more famous my 5 year old son loves michael jacksons music and he hasent a clue who donald trump is…..
ans to number 2 is michael jackson i think his music is incredable even his last album invincable sold 7million coppies in its first year and they declared it a flop.. justin timberlakes album justified didnt touch that in its first year…
Michael Jackson has been for quite some time, and still is, the most famous person on the planet. You simply cannot deny that Michael is not at the top of the list when it comes to fame. Even small communities in African countries that have no real communication with the Western world can recognize Michael Jackson when they see him.
As for favourite, it is by far Michael Jackson. Sure, he’s had his ups and downs over his lifetime (haven’t we all?), but the man is an anomaly who will go down in history as one of the greatest entertainers who has ever lived. It saddens me that the youth of today only ever see the ‘weird’ Michael, and have never really been exposed to the ‘magical/artisitic’ Michael. I hope his next album can change that.
Regardless of everything that has happened with Michael Jackson no one can deny how famous he is, and how much he means/has meant to the world. Michael is by far the most famous.
