Narrative:
Two hours into our flight we smelled an electrical burning odor. At the same time; passenger came to cockpit and asked us if 'we smell that'. I instructed my first officer to go into the cabin and investigate the source. He was unable to find source; but the odor was increasing. I had him come back and we decided to make a precautionary landing. Leaving FL410 we spoke to ATC about runway options. We were routed to [a nearby airport]. During the descent we executed appropriate checklist and finally landed safely on the runway within aircraft weight; where we executed emergency shutdown and evacuation with no incident to crew or passengers.
