Turns out $US13 trillion doesn't guarantee you a fuss-free breakfast.
US Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen on Saturday was reportedly stopped by security and asked for ID as she entered a restaurant at the Intercontinental hotel in Sydney.
Wall Street Journal journalist Ian Talley says the central bank chief had to rifle through her purse to produce ID.
"Arguably world's most powerful woman, but Fed's Yellen isn't a celeb yet: @G20Australia staff just ask her for ID to enter breakfast," Talley tweeted on Saturday.
Luckily Dr Yellen had her ID or she would have missed out on a breakfast of Scottish salmon, fresh honeycomb and rhubarb confiture.
