Da Vinci is the answer. But someone I haven’t seen mentioned is Babe Zaharias. Won medals at the ‘32 Olympics, then switched to golf and won a ton of titles on the LPGA Tour. Up there for best female athlete ever.

Very likely some special forces/delta operator that we don’t know about who is exceptional at everything and has gone to school after school.

Da Vinci. Dude could literally do anything at an elite level.


Probably as close to correct as we mere humans can get.

There's a guy who was recently in the news who was a SEAL, became a naval aviator, went to medical school and became a doctor and then became an astronaut. Underachiever right there.

Found him. Jonny Kim.

Joe Biden.


He is POTUS in spite of having late stage dementia.

Or Saint Floyd of Fentanyl, the greatest man who ever lived.

Tiger in his prime as far as sports go. He was in a different galaxy.

I didn't read through all of the comments, but Tiger Woods has to be mentioned.

I don't think the general public realizes how much Albert Einstein's genius has changed the world. He really is the smartest human to set foot on planet Earth.

Franklin invented cool stuff, but Da Vinci was a few hundred years earlier, and was Copernicus level of thinking outside the box.

Now imagine telling the world in the early 20th century that time wasn't some universal clock, but was actually a 4th dimension......

Sports- Bo Jackson, Deion Sanders, and LeBron James.

I couldn't put LeBron by himself because Bo and Deion actually played 2 professional sports and were productive.

But I believe LeBron could have played other sports...and I think he would have been a better baseball player than Michael Jordan as well.

Entertainment...Michael Jackson and its not even close.

I will add...Rebbeer made a good case for his dad!!!

I'd go with Elon Musk. Aside from being the greatest human who has ever lived, he dated and even paid for his ex's (the most beautiful girl in the world) attorney to defend against poop charges.
