What would you do if you came across Jeff Bezos on the street or somewhere else for some reason?

Edit: I ask, because we all hate him, but there are a lot factors that would limit how we act in the hypothetical moment we meet him.

Edit2: Basically, what would you do, considering Jeff is a human, regardless of how despicable he is, and that what one wants to do is not necessarily what one should do.

I have no hatred for him, maybe I don’t know something. Do I need to know this? Will this information change my life? I've always been a little amused by the reaction to celebrities. You have to ask for an autograph, ask for something, or find out something. Perhaps I would be more curious if it was an alien, I would really ask why is he here? A "successful" person is just a person. I have little interest in "success" or "money." Maybe that's why I have no questions for him. He is one of over 7 billion people. Would pass by.
