Legacy means having a lasting impact on society or culture. As another example, the average Joe Schmoe has no clue that Fabrice Bellard even exists, yet Bellard inarguably has one helluva legacy.
On the other hand, there are many people who are famous, but will probably leave no legacy.
True, one can not be famous but still have a lasting impact on society. This is not one of those cases.
