Out of that list, clearly it has to be Jesus. Just look at 2000 years of Western civilization. You might want to start with the Crusades.

More recently, I am amazed at how MLK's family exploits his memory. They sue for royalties on his speeches, which are news events, not works of art. His widow and son are a kind of psuedo royalty around Atlanta, and their exploits would be comical if they were not so sad.
