Are there any famous non-tech people that use Linux on a regular basis?
CEOs, CTOs, entrepreneurs, politicians etc. I'm looking for examples for a class I'm giving.
Easy, every one of them with an Android phone :)
Author Neal Stephenson, he writes about this in "In the beginning there was the command line".

Linux is pretty common in the startup world. But if your CEO is running around telling everyone what OS he uses instead of sealing deals you might want to rethink those stock options.
You probably mean the Android operating system. Every celebrity out there already uses linux on their android phones. PSA: the linux kernel is just one tiny irrelevant component of an android system. It's google's system level utilities and user applications that make android a complete operating system.
You mean the Linux kernel? Or GNU/Linux?
