Private Islands, Submarine, Spacecraft and other toys of Richard Branson


Any brand with the word Virgin attached automatically reminds me of Sir Richard Branson. After conquering high skies, the land, and the deep blue seas, there is little that Branson doesn’t really own in his life. And thanks to his Virgin media empire, The Sunday Times Rich List 2010 has listed him as the wealthiest television and film entrepreneur in Britain, with a fortune of £2.58 billion (US$4.2 billion). And if you take into account all his other business interests, he’s placed on spot 18th overall. A more recent Forbes’ 2011 list of billionaires put Branson on the 5th spot if the richest person in the United Kingdom and at number 254.
