I did two, in business class. These we're business trips and a RTW was cheaper and more convenient. I don't remember the details clearly of which destinations were on which trips, but it was something like the following:
MSP-HKG-IST-ARN-AMS-MSP
MSP-NRT-SYD (with separate tickets to several other places in Australia) -IST-AMS-MSP

Haven't yet.... have my first planned for myself and Mrs. SANbound next spring.
SAN-SEA-LHR// Eurostar to Paris and back to London // LHR-DXB-SYD-BKK-HKG-ORD-PHX-SAN
All OneWorld First except for the SYD-BKK-HKG which is on TG F and Regional J. We are pretty excited as I haven't done Intl F since the days of the recliners in the late 90's and the wife has never experienced it.

Did one in 2012 and another in 2013.
The first was just barely a RTW, because (as per the flight-track monitor in the IFE) the plane routed just slightly west of the North Pole on the DEL-ORD segment that followed the trans-Pac portion of the trip. So, it was a RTW that avoided Europe entirely.
The second RTW utilized the (no longer available) US Air routing from North America to Asia, with return via Europe.
