How famous is the most famous person that you know personally?

Justin Timberlake is a friend of a friend, met him a few times way back in the day, in the Britney Spears years

Not very. One of my best friends is from a family that's well-known and respected in Australia (or at least in Sydney), the Horderns. When he was selling his parents' mansion one of the people interested in it who contacted him was someone famous enough that we all know his name.. I don't remember who it was now, though. =P

I know Scott Gilbert who's a famous developmental biologist. He wrote the textbook that a lot of universities (at least in the US) use for developmental biology classes. After he retired he moved to Portland (for family I assume) and also came to our lab meetings lmao. Before I moved away I had lunch with him and he bought me enchiladas. He's famous enough to actually be the first search result of you google his name

I knew a baseball player from Rhode Island through a mutual friend who grew up with him (Rocco Baldeli). While he wasn't a very notable player, he just won Manager of the Year with the Minnesota Twins in his first season coaching them. I also have a relative from New York who was a pretty prominent model, even has her own wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soo_Joo_Park
