Apple co-founder Steve Jobs has been honored on a list of the Greatest Ever Americans alongside Jennifer Aniston, Elvis Presley - and Miley Cyrus. Jobs masterminded a global tech revolution with devices such as the iPod, iPad and iPhone before losing his battle with pancreatic cancer in October 2011 at the age of 56.

Other famous names who join Jobs on the list include boxing superstar Muhammad Ali, author Ernest Hemingway, film maker Steven Spielberg and the late Michael Jackson.

Hollywood actor Clint Eastwood also made the top 100 as did Hillary Clinton and her husband Bill Clinton.

Abraham Lincoln, America's 16th president, came top of the list.

Other former presidents who ranked highly were second placed Thomas Jefferson, who was the author of the American Declaration of Independence, and John F Kennedy, who was third.

Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, and civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. completed the top five.

Current president Barack Obama only came 32nd.

Other great Americans to feature on the list, comprised following a poll of 1,000 Americans from across all 50 states, include first president George Washington animation pioneer Walt Disney and talk show host Oprah Winfrey.

Elvis Presley was the highest ranking celebrity, making it into number 22, a whole ten places ahead of Obama.

The youngest star to make the top 100 was controversial singer Miley Cyrus, 21.

A spokesman for global market researcher OnePoll, which commissioned the research, said:

"Abraham Lincoln is considered by many to be one of the greatest American presidents, and it also seems most see him as the greatest American as well.

"His two terms in office had a huge effect on America as we know it today, and his actions changed the country in so many ways.

"In fact, a large number of those to feature in the top twenty are politicians, either from the past or recent times.

"In comparison, most of today’s ‘celebrities’ could only make it into the second half of the list, with just a handful of recent singers, actors and TV personalities in the top 50."

The list includes a string of politicians, sports stars, actors, singers and television personalities, while businessmen and inventors also featured.

But by far and away the most votes went to ex-presidents.

Dwight Eisenhower and Harry Truman were voted in at 16 and 19 respectively and several first ladies were also on the list with Eleanor Roosevelt, who was also a United Nations delegate who oversaw the drafting of the Declaration of Human Rights activist, at 21.

Kennedy’s wife Jackie Kennedy Onassis and Hillary Clinton, who went on to become a senator and Secretary of State, also made the top 100.

Thomas Edison, who invented the light bulb, was in sixth place while Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company, came twelfth.

Microsoft boss Bill Gates and Andrew Carnegie, who led the American steel industry expansion, are also in the top thirty.

TV star Oprah Winfrey was close behind with Bill Cosby and Ellen DeGeneres also making an appearance.

The top 100 also includes Hollywood greats such as Marilyn Monroe, Steven Spielberg, Katherine Hepburn, Morgan Freeman, Tom Hanks and even Will Smith.

Singers to feature in the list included Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Stevie Wonder.

Dolly Parton, Whitney Houston, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga were also named among the greatest Americans.

Even Britney Spears and reality TV star Kim Kardashian, managed to scrape into the top 100.
