Back when I was working around Europe I did an exhibition tour for Cessna with their mock-up Citation X jet in a trailer. While at various venues I met...
Niki Lauda (former F1 driver, Owner of LaudaAir) in Vienna
Chris de Burgh (Irish singer) in Germany somewhere.
Silvio Berlusconi (Italian media and politician) in Milan
I also just missed meeting Nelson Mandela by one day in Pretoria. We were set up in his hanger at a SAAF airbase.
I've met Keir Starmer, now Prime Minister of the UK. I met him the evening before the day of the general election (it was a political thing). He signed our autograph board and I got many pictures with him, it even featured on the national news!
4 of Australia's Prime Ministers - the incumbent Albo, his two direct predecessors, and K-Rudd. 2 of them I've met on public transport. I know a few others who've seen PMs and state ministers out and about, so not too uncommon here. Other than that, Timor-Leste president José Ramos-Horta. I also saw Mike Pence from a distance but never spoke. All of these occurred in Sydney.
