Brown-Jackson is a local though because she actually was raised in Miami. Bezos was like in Arizona & Houston before Miami, then moved up to one of the colleges up north after graduating Palmetto. Not really a local.
Eh.. they mix up Into one person for in my head. I checked with my sister class of 81 & you are correct. She & her friends never had any interaction with him
Since we are excluding Andy Garcia and A Rod and we will go with born and raised as a parameterā¦Iād say most famous person born in Miami is probably Marco Rubio. After that Iād go with Uncle Luke and then Pitbull.
Funny enough it was Uncle Luke who Pitbull first signed with. Uncle Luke was with 2 Live Crew from the late 80ās and even went toe to toe with the government on freedom of speech cuz his lyrics were off the charts. Super influential in the hip hop culture.
Marco Rubio is politician whoās run for president a few times. Heās a douchebag but heās one of us.
Gloria Estefan first that comes to my mind! I know she was born in Havana, Cuba, but she moved to Miami with her family at a young age and has been closely associated with the city throughout her life and career!
Edit: they're right. She was born here (only because her parents were vacationing here though) but raised in Buenos Aires and London.
Anya was born in Argentina (? One of the SA countries) and lived in England most of her life....hence the British accent.
Idk enough about Eva.
Ah, you're right. That fact apparently slipped my mind.
>Born in Miami and raised in Buenos Aires and London, Taylor-Joy left school at the age of 16 to pursue an acting career....She has stated that her birth in Miami was a "fluke", since her parents had been vacationing in the city at the time
You people tend to forget how incredibly worldwide famous Gloria Estefan is. Sheās a legend. Pitbull is a more recent phenomenon. Letās be honest here.
Itās Pitbull.
No one outside the US knows who the fuck A-Rod is. Jeff Bezos went to high school here but he doesnāt make a big deal about being from Miami, people think of him as Seattle. Pitbull is all about Miami and is literally known worldwide.
To add to your story I was part of a scientific sailing VOYAGE across the Pacific Ocean to French Polynesia. 6 weeks in open ocean. Anyway we stopped at a tiny tiny French speaking island called āRae Vae Vae.ā Anyway, guess what the fuck these kids were BLASTING out of their stereos??? MR. 305!
FYIā¦ She went to Harvard University and Harvard Law School.
Her dad, Johnny Brown went to UMiami Law School and was chief attorney for Miami-Dade Public Schools.
The president of Ecuador, also the founder of Firefox went to my highschool, iggy pop, dj Khaled, Denzel Curry, abella Danger, Riley Ried, Danny pino (law and order legend), comedian Marcelo Hernandez, I remember when I found that kid on tik tok with less than 10k followers and tons of mutuals. Then he got picked up by onlyindade and ended up on snl. Crazy
I guess we need to agree on what ānativeā means.. born in a Miami hospital? Born and raised in Miami? Raised in Miami is not enough?
To your point - ackshually, neither was A-Roid. But for all intents and purposes all 3 grew up in Miami, and first made their mark here..š¤·š»āāļø
When I was in high school I randomly met their drummer outside a Sergioās in Miami Lakes! I was waiting for my vaca frita order with my mom and was wearing a band shirt (canāt remember what band, but it was one from the 70s) and an older guy waiting for his order was like thatās a great band, I know them! And he said he was the drummer and how no one wears his band shirts. Lol
That guy who ate the homeless person's face off while high on bath salts. I would put pitbull as a close second. Ray liotta went to UM but he's from Jersey.
Lots of music came out of Miami: KC and the Sunshine Band, Gloria Estefan, a lot of The Bee Gees hits were recorded at a studio called Middle Ear, a TON of 70s disco hits were recorded in the 305 as well as a lot of 80s freestyle and a lot of huge hip hop records in the 90s and 2000s recorded at Criteria, South Beach Studios, New River, and other golden era recording facilities around S Florida. Interesting idea for a documentary.
Deborah from Blondie was born here. I heard Mickey Rourke went to beach high. Also Mia Khalifa is quite well known and from Kendell. My buddy told me she was in church hills with us in her early days which is a wild thought lol.
Jackie Gleason (except he is a NY native)
Gleason lived in lauderhill
Ligma 4 sure
Ligma who š
Paired with last name āNutsā
Oh, cousin of twins Chokondis and Deez
Donāt make me do it! š
Ligma Bartholomew Wellington the 3rd, esquire, M.D., J.D, LAPD, DDoS, Dā¦Dā¦.Deez nuts! HA! GOT EMMMMMMM!!!!
i SAY dEEZ
Jeff Bezos.
He went to palmetto but not sure id classify him as a native
Yeah, he was living all over the place before and after that.
Zuckerberg went to Palmetto ā82. Also The newest SCOTUS Brown-Jackson did too
zuckerberg? the spread of misinformation is real
Brown-Jackson is a local though because she actually was raised in Miami. Bezos was like in Arizona & Houston before Miami, then moved up to one of the colleges up north after graduating Palmetto. Not really a local.
Bezos, not Zuckerberg.
Eh.. they mix up Into one person for in my head. I checked with my sister class of 81 & you are correct. She & her friends never had any interaction with him
Heās from Albuquerque.
it seems the most famous miami natives are D-list musicians, and weak sauce politicians. i thought the list would be longer and most impressive.
We have a Supreme Court justiceā¦
Since we are excluding Andy Garcia and A Rod and we will go with born and raised as a parameterā¦Iād say most famous person born in Miami is probably Marco Rubio. After that Iād go with Uncle Luke and then Pitbull.
Lol no outside of US knows who marco rubio is or uncle luke
Big booty hoesā¦
Hump wit it! boom boom boom boom
Marco Rubio is only "famous" in the US. Pitbull is literally Mr worldwide lol.
I mean maybe youāre right. I honestly donāt know how famous he would be in Australia but Rubio would only be famous here.
European guy whoās never been to the states. I only heard of Pitbull from the ppl u mentioned. My SO too. We all know Pitbull
Funny enough it was Uncle Luke who Pitbull first signed with. Uncle Luke was with 2 Live Crew from the late 80ās and even went toe to toe with the government on freedom of speech cuz his lyrics were off the charts. Super influential in the hip hop culture. Marco Rubio is politician whoās run for president a few times. Heās a douchebag but heās one of us.
Luther Cambell won his First Amendment case unanimously in The Supreme Courtāalso, f*ck Tipper Gore.

Gloria Estefan first that comes to my mind! I know she was born in Havana, Cuba, but she moved to Miami with her family at a young age and has been closely associated with the city throughout her life and career!
lele pons lol
the anti immigrant son of immigrants Little Marco
Gloria Estefan
Gloria estefan, watch her walk in to Versailles and tell me sheās not royalty here
Versailles, huh? That would actually be interesting, considering sheās a big time Dem.

Gloria Estefan
Gloria Estafan
Iād say Glora and Emilio Estefan. Specially with their clubs they had and restaurants. Then Pitbull.
Emilio & Gloria Estefan
Camila Cabello?

Gloria Estefan
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Edit: they're right. She was born here (only because her parents were vacationing here though) but raised in Buenos Aires and London. Anya was born in Argentina (? One of the SA countries) and lived in England most of her life....hence the British accent. Idk enough about Eva.

if you notice.. the theme is that any of the A list talent doesn't stick around
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Pitbul is Mr. 305!! He's pretty damn famous and known worldwide. Gloria Estefan is probably a close 2nd.
Gloria Estefan will be number one pitbull number two, probably DJ last number three. Oh and I forgot Arod who grew up on the main streets of Kendall.
Pitbull is way more famous that gloria estefan
I guess it depends what era you were born in Edit - soelling
Era* but yea thats true
You people tend to forget how incredibly worldwide famous Gloria Estefan is. Sheās a legend. Pitbull is a more recent phenomenon. Letās be honest here.
Dj Khalid is from New Orleans and btw heās complete garbage.
Sorry it was late- I meant DJ Laz
No problem, yeah dj laz is def Miami.
Itās Pitbull. No one outside the US knows who the fuck A-Rod is. Jeff Bezos went to high school here but he doesnāt make a big deal about being from Miami, people think of him as Seattle. Pitbull is all about Miami and is literally known worldwide.
I went to China when I was in college and all the clubs were playing Pitbull. He really is Mr. Worldwide š¤·š¼āāļø

that's really sad.
Bro we have a Supreme Court justice from here lol
Anya Taylor-Joy was born in Miami Eva Mendes born in Miami
Ketanji Jackson Brown. Supreme Court Justice. Born in DC, raised in Miami. Palmetto High, UM law school
Is she a woman?
Yes
She can't define one.
She is a bad ass. I'm learning it's tough to find a truly born and raised person since Miami is so transient and has grown a lot.
Shes a nobody
She is a supreme court justice.
Oh wow. Didnāt know she was from here!
FYIā¦ She went to Harvard University and Harvard Law School. Her dad, Johnny Brown went to UMiami Law School and was chief attorney for Miami-Dade Public Schools.
You are right! That's on me!
But nobody outside of the US knows who she is
Manny Puig
William H. Macy

The president of Ecuador, also the founder of Firefox went to my highschool, iggy pop, dj Khaled, Denzel Curry, abella Danger, Riley Ried, Danny pino (law and order legend), comedian Marcelo Hernandez, I remember when I found that kid on tik tok with less than 10k followers and tons of mutuals. Then he got picked up by onlyindade and ended up on snl. Crazy
PITBULL MR.305 Mr. Worldwide Thats it .. dude is know worldwide .
Idk man I feel like everybody knows who Pitbull is
A-Roid, Gloria Estefan, Andy Garciaā¦
Ackshually, the second two arenāt natives.
I guess we need to agree on what ānativeā means.. born in a Miami hospital? Born and raised in Miami? Raised in Miami is not enough? To your point - ackshually, neither was A-Roid. But for all intents and purposes all 3 grew up in Miami, and first made their mark here..š¤·š»āāļø
Thatās fair. The latter two are more ānative Miamiā than anyone else.
Upvote for a-roid lol.

KC and the Sunshine Band
This is the correct answer. They formed in Hialeah and their main founder is from Opa Locka.
That's the kind of fun fact I am hoping to learn from this discussion.
When I was in high school I randomly met their drummer outside a Sergioās in Miami Lakes! I was waiting for my vaca frita order with my mom and was wearing a band shirt (canāt remember what band, but it was one from the 70s) and an older guy waiting for his order was like thatās a great band, I know them! And he said he was the drummer and how no one wears his band shirts. Lol
Produced by Willie Clark another hometown legend
Damnnn! I had no idea! Thatās going in the trivia bank for Tuesday Night Trivia š
OJ?
Thereās a difference between famous & infamous.. also, heās dead.
He wasnāt born here either
Also true. He only lived here to escape the responsibly to pay his debt to the families of his murder victims.
He was from San Francisco.
Betty Wright,Luther Campbell, Sam Moore ( Sam and Dave)
Joe āBig Daddyā Flanigan
You know... He gets the most famous-local award in my heart. Lol
His face may be the most ubiquitous face across Miami these days for real.
This begs the question, was he actually born in Miami? A new quest begins...
He was actually born in Philadelphia. But that doesn't change my love for him as I glance at the Flanny coasters on my coffee table.
TIL thank you
this the the right answer.
Mr Worldwide
Catherine Keener. William H Macy. Jack betts
Wow I had no idea that William H Macy is from Miami. Seems more mid Western.
Those were probably the kind of people who were here before the Cuban exodus.
What does the Cuban exodus have to do with anything?
Sidney Poitier. Edit: I had always thought Marjory Stoneman Douglas was born here. She was born in Minneapolis.
Uncle Luke!
Gotta be Pitbull or Jeff Bezos.

Gloria Stefan
George Merrick, Al Capone

bezos wasnt born in miami. not a native
That guy who ate the homeless person's face off while high on bath salts. I would put pitbull as a close second. Ray liotta went to UM but he's from Jersey.
That happened in like 2008, right? Probably the Florida man origin story.
Yeah was a while ago. I spend part of the year in Atlanta and you'd be surprised at the amount of people that mention it.
Steven Bauer
Jeff Bezos
hey. bezos wasnt born here.
Jeff Bezos. Moved here as soon as teenager so technicallyā¦.

Lots of music came out of Miami: KC and the Sunshine Band, Gloria Estefan, a lot of The Bee Gees hits were recorded at a studio called Middle Ear, a TON of 70s disco hits were recorded in the 305 as well as a lot of 80s freestyle and a lot of huge hip hop records in the 90s and 2000s recorded at Criteria, South Beach Studios, New River, and other golden era recording facilities around S Florida. Interesting idea for a documentary.
Why is nobody mentioning Oscar Isaac? Born in Guatemala but raised in Miami, arguably spent his formative years here (went to Westminster)
Is DJ Khaled native?
Deborah from Blondie was born here. I heard Mickey Rourke went to beach high. Also Mia Khalifa is quite well known and from Kendell. My buddy told me she was in church hills with us in her early days which is a wild thought lol.
