I have seen a number of PPLs with a 747 Type rating on them. Usually the holder will have previously held the type rating on a professional licence. In one case an airline pilot with a foreign licence wanted a UK PPL and the only rating he had was a 747. He then had to complete a SEP class rating course to add those privileges. As part of the initial Type Rating a PPL holder you would have to complete the theoretical knowledge applicable to a "high performance" type as well as a full type rating course.
