Although their names may not be in lights, it is the individual contribution that many home schooled graduates, students, and their families make on a daily basis.
Comparing oneself to "famous people" is not what home schooling is all about.
It is about individuals, and personal excellence with humility.
Home school graduates are often your entrepreneurs, small business owners, self employed workers, and so on.
Check with Patrick Henry College, and see what fields their graduates are in, and for more statistics on home schooled adults, and young people go to http://www.nheri.org/
If you look at most of the people in the media (politicians, businesspeople, etc.) you'll find that the vast majority of them were "in school" in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, so it took them 30, 40, 50 years to "get famous". Since homeschooling has only recently (1990s) made such a huge "comeback" (if you will), it will take a decade or two to see how successful homeschoolers are in the "real world".
Even then, I wouldn't expect to see a huge number of them, as the percentage of students who are homeschooling today is still relatively small (approximately 1% of the school-age population is homeschooled). Given those small numbers, I wouldn't think that 1/2 of our politicians or businessmen would be from the homeschool ranks (but I wouldn't be surprised to see more than 5-10%, either).
