British Prime Minister
On JudgeMarket, Winston Churchill trades firmly in the upper tier of 20th-century political names, though not quite at the sainthood ceiling. The price captures what made him iconic: the 1940 war leadership, the oratory that held Britain together before the US entered the war, a Nobel Prize in Literature, and six decades in Parliament that few careers can match. That is a multiple built on scarcity. What compresses the ceiling is a steady imperial-era re-rating — Bengal famine discourse, colonial policy, and his record on India now price in where they once did not. The market has slowly adjusted his multiple down without touching his war-leadership floor. Compared to Napoleon Bonaparte, who trades in a similar band on different beats, Churchill carries more moral premium. [Franklin-era comp] is absent here; Barack Obama is the closest orator comp and prices below. Mao Zedong is the contemporary opposite. Volatility is low-to-moderate.
