The eccentric billionaire-Richard Branson


What better place to start than with Richard Branson, the fourth-richest and one of the most interesting men in the U.K.? Branson, of course, is the founder of the Virgin Group, and has amassed a fortune north of $4 billion in his time as a media mogul.
Branson’s eccentricity has actually helped his business career. Ever the PR master, Branson has used his unique hobbies to capture any headlines he can, and he uses the publicity to grow his Virgin brand. Today, the Virgin name can be seen on everything from record stores to an airline. Branson’s latest venture is Virgin Galactic, an attempt to capture the commercial space flight market.
