Some very famous people have Reddit accounts. Some, like Bill Gates[1], President Obama[2] and the late Stephen Hawking[3], hosted an r/IAmA (Bill Gates has done 9 so far!), while others like Rick Astley u/ReallyRickAstley to Wil Wheaton u/wil, and Deadmau5 u/reddit_mau5 can be found in the wild.

There are many celebrity figures to be found in Reddit’s hallowed halls and they often go unnoticed[4], though some are admittedly more noticeable[5].
There’s a Ranker list[6] with some other instances. Often a celebrity will do an r/IAmA session especially if they have something to promote. Look on the Sidebar (or About tab) for forthcoming sessions on r/IAmA.

You don’t have to be famous to host an AMA. At r/casualiama, anyone's welcome to host or participate in an AMA. Topics may involve anything from ordinary to extraordinary subject matter. It’s even more random over at r/AMA, but it’s still important to read the rules in both subs before contributing.
