Sir Richard Branson is the nature’s force behind Virgin. He made the entire Virgin Empire with his intuition and passion. It was in 1968 when Richard Branson, for the first time, dipped himself into the entrepreneurial world with his student magazine and since then he never looked back.
Today Virgin group consist of more than 400 companies. Did you read it 400+ companies? This is huge. Virgin group is not just about the quantity; it’s one of the half a dozen brands who believe in values, beliefs, and quality. Richard Branson is one of the most celebrated entrepreneurs of our generation.
In January 1991, Branson crossed the Pacific from Japan to Arctic Canada, 6,700 miles (10,800 km), in a balloon of 2,600,000 cubic feet (74,000 m3). This broke the record, with a speed of 245 miles per hour (394 km/h). In March 2004, Branson set a record by traveling from Dover to Calais in a Gibbs Aquada in 1 hour, 40 minutes and 6 seconds, the fastest crossing of the English Channel in an amphibious vehicle. In few attempts, he risked his life to the extent of near death but death doesn’t scare him. I think his will to enjoy life is more than the fear of death.

These incidents have the profound impact on his life. He has risked in a lot of ventures that didn’t work, but this didn't stop him from going ahead and experimenting. What Virgin is now is because of his risk taking and the adventurous attitude.

Every virgin product has fun attached to it. You will feel the sense of pure jolliness in using any of the Virgin services, and it is the reflection of the nature of real hero of Virgin - Richard Branson.
Richard made a great choice of living so close to nature. A day spent in Necker is like a day spent in a dream.
Richard Branson is not just in making money. He understands what critical position the world is in and how he can contribute to it to save it. He is one of the few billionaires who is using its money and resources to make this world better and safe for all.
Virgin is starting a lot of services which helps normal people to expand their reach. One of those is Virgin Galactic.
Out of all these, there is one thing I forgot to mention and that Richard Branson was dyslexic, and he did all these without any formal education. He dropped out his school to start his magazine, and this shows that true education is not confined to four walls but in the passion and intuition that drive you to go beyond the comfort zone.

No matter what Richard Branson has done. No matter what all companies he started but if there is something that comes first is his adventurous and risk-taking attitude. He is a daring guy.

He doesn’t care about Status Quo
As I said, Richard Branson is not attached to the highness of the position he holds. He is a humble person. In lot many occasions, he has been seen dressing up in a weird costume that is well enough to speak of his carefree attitude. He doesn’t care what people think. If he feels something is worth doing, he straightway does it. He opens up himself fully to every situation. And this is what differs him to the rest of the people.
He owns Necker Island
The coolest of all is his Necker Island. It’s everyone's dream to be on that Caribbean Island and live a day. It feels awesome to be in such a beautiful place where you don’t have to seek out for people to inspire you, beautiful nature is always there to light you up if you get demotivated.Richard made a great choice of living so close to nature. A day spent in Necker is like a day spent in a dream.
