Richard Branson & Bill Gates can be mentioned by anyone on Linkedin, even if they aren't your 1st level connections.

Mentioning is a great feature. And if you use it well, the mentioned ones might even read, or comment on your post.

Here is what Linkedin has to say about this cool feature you have:
Mentioning a connection or other members encourages engagement with your posts and comments. Mentions notify your connections that your post or comment might be relevant to them. In your post or comment, connections mentioned are associated with their profiles. Viewers can click on connection names to navigate to their profiles.
To mention someone in a post:
​
  1. On your LinkedIn homepage, click into the Share an article, photo, video or idea field or click Comment at the bottom of someone else's post.
  2. Type "@" and then begin typing a name in the box. You'll see a list of potential people you can mention.
  3. Click on the name of the person or people you want to mention from the list and continue typing your message.
Linkedin have some great tips how to best use the mention, and some good to knows:
Here are some other tips on updates with mentions or tags:
  • Posts containing mentions or tags will be shared just like any other post.
  • The member mentioned will receive a notification on Linkedin.com and by email.
  • The post may be shared with the network of the person being tagged.
  • If you select the post visibility to be anything other than Public, the tags or mentions for anyone outside of the selected visibility settings will be removed.
Note: A member won’t receive a notification about the mention or tag if they have turned off their notification setting.
It is good to know, that you can control the mentioning and also the tagging on Linkedin.
Removing a Mention or Tag of Yourself
​

Mentions and tags allow you to notify your connections that you're talking about them in a post, comment, or photo. If you're tagged by another member, you'll receive an email and update on LinkedIn.com notifying you. Your profile will also be linked in the post, comment, or photo.

You can remove the tag from a post or photo on desktop or the mobile app at any time, but removing a profile link from a comment is currently only available on the LinkedIn mobile app.
