It depends on what you mean by famous, but some prominent Muslims in the world today include: Mohamed Mustafa ElBaradei (a nuclear scientist with the IAEA who developed safer nuclear technologies), Naguib Mahfouz (an Egyptian literary genius), and Muhammad Yunus (an economist who developed micro-finance). All three of these men have received Nobel Prizes for their work.

Famous Muslim celebrities in the West include: Mehmet Oz (a celebrity doctor affiliated with Oprah Winfrey), Maz Jobrani (a stand-up comic), Aasif Mandvi (contributor on the Daily Show), Ennis Esmer (series lead in the Canadian TV series The Listener), and Tariq Ramadan (Professor of Contemporary Islamic Studies at Oxford University and Islamic Apologist).
