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

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.

:2 cents:

50 islands

hmmmn. check www.mtv.com maybe

more american ceos should do shit like that. they make us all look stuffy and stiff. branson is a cool dude. quirky, but who gives a shit.
