There are some foreign knighthoods I think. But they are limited by number
even more than the British one.

Btw, I'm pretty sure on has to a British citizen (or possibly even born
within the Commonwealth) to be knighted.

Chief? Says who?
The Telegraph. ;-)
Someone should probably give them a ring and suggest they change
"chief" to "founder", since that's what he actually is... (well,
"co-founder", really, but let's not go there!)
To be fair, if you look below the headline at the top, it all says
co-founder.
