Well it really depends on how one wants to define great. There is perceived power and influence that the history books tend record and therefor that we tend to remember. i.e. getting famous. Personally I choose not to define greatness as such. The only two I actually see as great on that list are Atilla and Alexander because of the sweeping social, economic, and political change they really shouldered. In those two cases I think it really was the people they were that really made a difference, unlike say Mary Kate and Ashley. Are they powerful? Yes, theyre rich and have influence through several markets. But have they really changed anything themselves that wouldnt have changed anyway? IMO no. Not only that but replace them with almost any two hollywood types and you'll get nearly the same results IMO.
