Ronald McDonald?
I don't think King Sejong can be compared with Elvis or Ali. As mentioned, the US exports its culture way more. And more obviously, Elvis and Ali benefit from having lived in the TV age, the information age, the global age, whatever you want to call it. The Japanese PM is a huge Elvis fan. Somebody here uses a picture of him wearing Elivs sunglasses as their avatar.
Anyway, Moses isn't a bad guess as most Christians, Muslims and Jews would know who he is. |

I think the Queen Elizabeth II is the most recognised person in the world.
My opinion. |

Caesar! Perhaps the drink and salad, but I HIGHLY doubt the average westerner knows about the man. |

| Spiritual contributions are remembered the longest. From that list I'd pick Jesus (but actually his supreme "father" Krishna is the most famous in innumerable universes...) |

George Bush and Darth Vader? The difference is that Darth Vader became a "good guy" before he died and became one with The Force. No such hope of George becoming a good guy. If George couldn't become one with The Force, he would probably figure out a way to invade it. |
