About Hosni Mubarak

Hosni Mubarak was an Egyptian politician who served as the country's fourth President from 1981 until his resignation in 2011 amid the Egyptian Revolution. Ascending to power after the assassination of Anwar Sadat, Mubarak’s nearly three-decade rule was characterized by maintaining the Camp David Accords, significant economic liberalization, but also strong authoritarian control and a state of emergency for much of his tenure. This long period of geopolitical importance and domestic influence secures his position at #794 in MIT's Historical Popularity Index among the world's most influential figures.

Relative to this historical standing, Mubarak's contemporary digital footprint is moderate. In 2025, he garnered approximately 606K Wikipedia pageviews, placing his Attention Gap near 1x, indicating a relatively balanced level of attention given his importance rank. This contrasts sharply with figures like Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, another politician ranked slightly lower at #878, who commanded 2.7M views in the same year, suggesting a significantly higher modern digital draw for the deposed Shah of Iran.

Despite this overall balance, his 2025 viewership saw a slight year-over-year decline of 5.4%, though there was a modest Q1 versus Q3 momentum increase of +4%, suggesting minor fluctuations in current public interest.
