High profile people you’ve met with at work

Had led a meeting at work with the recently stepped down Chair at GS and got me thinking back to a bunch of the cooler/higher profile folks I’ve met in my career. Who have you met throughout your career you thought was interesting? Some that came to mind for me were Icahn, Peltz, Shaq, Gen. Patraeus, Iger

Addition: wouldn’t call it personal enough to say met Buffet but going to Omaha for the shareholder meeting was cool too

Did a group project in my MBA program with a heir of a well-known billionaire family. It was obvious they were trying to be subtle about it but it wasn't hard to connect the dots. Never said anything as I thought that would make it awkward. Was a strong team member and I appreciated the chance to add them to my professional network / contacts.
