My all-time favorite combination of titles is one I came across on the title page of a Rumanian medical monograph published in the 1960s, during the Communist period. I no longer remember the exact Rumanian words, but they amounted to:
Comrade Doctor Professor Academician
"comrade" since we are all equal, followed by three academic titles, since some are more equal than others.
