Anyone else see Richard Bransons island on CRIBS?
 

holy shit.

that shows you the money in mainstream compared to adult.

even hef would be stoked to have that place. gees.

Was there ever any doubt there's more money in mainstream stuff than adult?

LOL no kidding

Yes...that's definitely living the life...It was perfect.

word to that

I think I would prefer the island in Fiji that is owned by that motivational speaker ya hear about all the time.

Didn't realize he was that good of a motivational speaker:

Awesome place, best episode of cribs

nah, kinda just grounds you with all the "bling" and "im a player" that you see around here. couple mill really isnt shit nowadays, but around the adult world you would think that it was a billionaires club. thats all i was pointing out.

wasnt it also on his reality show

Tony Robins! Just recalled :thumbsup

Can I download it somewhere?

yah, no kidding, his island was fucking sick, although he kinda seemed like a weirdo

agreed... 2nd best is the richard simmons one

Yes it was. And I met that girl who did Spanx, I cant remember her name. She was here in Seattle at Nordstroms 2 weekends ago. Shes not very good looking in person, but you have to admit shes doing pretty good.

Richard Branson didn't make his money from the internet.

Did anyone in this thread claim that he did?

The suggestion "There is more money in Adult then Mainstream" means that the poster thinks that he made his money ONLINE in MAINSTREAM instead of adult.

Besides I like picking on Tom.

No, it doesn't. Especially when you consider that in the same post he made reference to "hef" as in Hugh Hefner the founder of Playboy. Clearly, he was referring to the adult industry as a whole, not just online since Hefner isn't exactly known for his internet successes.

You say Apples, I say oranges, we both know Im right.

A person being to proud to admit they're probably wrong is very common on GFY. This is a classic example.

So your saying that YOU are a classic example? Or that I am?

Got photos?

Obviously you are. I'm not the one having to back up my statements.

By the way, did it occur to you that anyone who knows anything about Richard Branson would know that he didn't make his money from the internet?

Branson could run for Prime Minister in the UK and win without much fuss. What is even more impressive is that he lost that fortune..more than once.

Any man that signed the sex pistols is okay by me.

That guy is a P I M P.

I am surprised he hasn't turned in that wife of his for a younger model. I guess some guys have class and morals.

they are swingers..he gets what he needs

The funny thing is Brandson didn't have the cash to buy a holiday when he decided to purchase the island. Reason he ended up with the island was a free helicoptor ride.

Should read his book(s) .. highly recommended.

Yeah, i was thinking about buying it too ... lets hope amazon has it since ive got like 400 in gift certificates for there (thx cecash!)

He's definitely a PIMP... I want to see his island... Limewire here I come.

ouuuchhh.

Thanks alot.

No wonder Virgin lost lots of money ;) :1orglaugh

Yea, I saw it a few times... repeat. He bought that island when he was 21 or 22

people stating things like there is more money in mainstream than adult and Richard is proof of that will probably never make any real money


Richard made that money not because of the market he operates in but rather because of his vision and skills


for every Branson there are 100000 + people in mainstream who try and fail

yup, it was a bargain , back then he had no money to build anything on it :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Yep, simple economics... buy low, sell high or hold

You really are deranged aren't you LOL

I actually thought part of the time you were just confused , but its become clearly apparent that you actually believe some of the drivel you spew :1orglaugh

Just curious , do you take pills for that ? Do crazy people actually know they are crazy or do you think your normal like everyone else ?

Howard and Trump were talking about Richard Branson's failed attempt at Reality TV and how at a recent trade show Branson was dressed like a fool being an idiot in public.

Hell, with that kind of money I'd be a bit loopy too.

Branson always has launched his projects by dressing up and making himself 'news worthy'. Now keep in mind that is usually for the British tabloid press. So, when he launched the direct flights on Virgin from London to South Africa he dressed up as a warrior, etc. That is his style. Remember this is the guy that made his fortune from Tubular Bells. He is the London Playboy version of trump...think Austin Powers but actually cool.

and the fact that he is willing to fail and fail big is something most of us don't have

:1orglaugh

On September 25, 2004 he announced the signing of a deal under which a new space tourism company, Virgin Galactic, will license the technology behind SpaceShipOne to take paying passengers into suborbital space. The group plans to make flights available to the public by late 2007 with tickets priced at $190,000.

All aboard!

The spacecraft are to be named using the prefix VSS ("Virgin SpaceShip"). The first craft is to be the VSS Enterprise, in an acknowledged nod to Star Trek's USS Enterprise; the second, also named after a Star Trek craft, is expected to be named the VSS Voyager.

I saw it. That place was amazing!

as someone mentioned above, you should read his autobiography - very interesting. I haven't read it yet but i'm pretty sure Russell Simmons' auto would be a good read as well.

No, it means that's there's more money in mainstream than there is in adult, you half-retarded lowlife. No one said anything about online. Learn how to read, perhaps you could use that skill to get a job, and then you could stop preying on kidnapped children and brain dead people.

Fucking douchebag. Just kill yourself and do the world a favor.

Didnt he say on that episode of cribs that he actaully bought the island when he was 18 or 19 years old........ and started building it in fragments?!?!?!?! How the fuck did he do that at such a young age.........?

tubular bells

Yeah seeing the island made me pissed that I sold it to him back then. I knew I should of kept it but they kept telling me to sell because the world is coming to an end. Fuck!





LOL, that was kind of inspirational for me watching it last night. The dude is kooky and down to earth IMO and was just having fun on his island. You see Russell Simmons crib and his wife cannot shut up about the gold this, and the versace that, and the creepy bodyguards standing in the back. Good to see a guy like Branson just having a good time with his money.

there is NO insinuation that he made money online, even though i am sure richard branson ahs made a shitload of money online with all his mainstream companies, not to mention the offline retail and wholesaling that i am sure he is doing. read closely. the whole point was, it is so easy and everyone in adult is hung up alot on a few mil, it just puts wealth in perspective when you see that kind of money that people like him have. adult makes alot of money, but this guy has more money than all the adult companies put together. he is worth more than 10 billion easy. thats what has been projected the adult biz made in like 2001 or something, i don't know, nor care the true number.
