Top 10 Prominent Men of the 1990s

Mike Tyson

He is the hero of boxing history. Ruling his professional field through his expertise since ’80s, Mike Tyson has the record of winning over the never failing Michael Spinks. His stardom declined after losing to underdog Buster Douglas. Again, in 1995, he came back which was quite positive.

Tupac Shakur

Hip-hop’s rock star, this celebrity was the ideal music artist whose work was among the best sellers. He played violin in the Baltimore School of Arts and admired Shakespeare and Van Gogh. Marking an unusual turn, his popularity gained more importance after his death instead of getting to decline.

Rush Limbaugh

He was the famous host of a talk show on national radio that he joined in 1988. The gradual progress in the beginning was noteworthy, which resulted in the highest show listeners in 1990. He still has maintained his ability to captivate the audience of radio. Not only this, but he was so commanding that even the Republican Party expressed a sign of gratitude for their victory in 1994.

Kurt Cobain

He was the man behind the high sales of Nevermind at a rate of 400,000 copies a week in 1991, which overshadowed Michael Jackson in 1992. However, Kurt Cobain, was never happy for his spokesmanship during his time that made him realized that he was now not at all zealous about music. Finally, he left the world with a suicide note in 1994, which claimed that it was far good to burn rather than to diminish.

Kevin Smith

This man was the producer of the 1994’s Clerks that brought him significant success. The movie is ranked 16th among the modern best comedies and 4th among the best independent movies. Then in the entire decade, he directed Mallrats (Famous Chasing Amy) and 1999’s Dogma.

Atal Bihari Vajpayee

He was the prime minister of India in the 90s. What made me to list him here as a significant political figure is his most famous tactic of searching peace with Pakistan. Leading the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP – Indian People’s party), he has tried his best to settle all the issues with patience. However, he lost the voting majority in early 2000s.

Calvin Klein

This was the man who took the advantage of being quite dominant since the previous decades by spreading his wings into other areas such as fragrances in this decade. He was entitled as the America’s Best Designer in 1993 by CDFA, but was facing financial problems since 1992. This, however, did not stop him to run his company who gave a good chance to Antonio Sabato Jr. and Mark Wahlberg.

Matt Groening

Popular due to comic ‘Life in Hell’ in newspapers, his talent has broken the world record of producing the longest running American cartoon – The Simpsons. This entertainment series is honored as the best television series of the decade, further augmenting the joy – also of the century. It has been also honored with 25 Primetime Emmys.

Jerry Seinfeld

Jerry’s success is marked by the popularity of Seinfeld series that has almost all possible awards ranging from Emmys to SAG Awards. The series was in the list of the best three shows watched by the maximum public. Further, in 2002, it became the greatest show in TV history.

Nelson Mandela

Nobody can forget this great revolutionary man! He is an anti-apartheid leader and gained popularity during his


imprisonment of 27 years until 1990. Mr. Nelson had greatly influenced the world by preaching the concepts of resolution and reunion. After his release from the prison, he became the first elected president of a completely democratic country of South Africa.
