You're truly a strong and thoughtful man to share the humanity and heartfelt experiences you went through that night. It doesn't matter if you're the wealthiest man in the world or living paycheck to paycheck, or even homeless. What matters is your health and safety. Thanks for sharing your experience. I hope you're enjoying the spirit of rebuilding.
BTW Next time make a remote backup server to keep your digital info safe somewhere else in case this happens again! (my dadhas something like this for his office and home)
Sir Richard and family. Glad everyone is safe and nobody got hurt. We feel bad about the thousands of photos that were lost and your beautiful home that burned down, but again at least your family is safe. On a funny note, make sure you get rid of the cactus...
If you need anything, please ask. We'll lend a helping hand.
Very sad indeed Sir Richard ..... I am sure that the "Great House" will be promptly rebuilt to a very high standard on your lovely £100 Million island. I truly hope that all of the small business's and homes that were recently looted prior to being burnt down within the uk are hastily rebuilt. Somehow I think your great house will be up and running a lot sooner though.
Balinese? The house doesn't look remotely Balinese, first Balinese homes usually have that nice orange brick and stonework and a very definite layout.
So sorry to hear of the loss of what must have been a beautiful home, Richard, and am glad your mother and guests came to no harm although obviously it must have been traumatic at the time.
Your hating, but he earned all his money himself, more than you could ever do. So its still sad his holiday home/house got burnt down because what if there were family items in there?
@paid2pooop & Big hairy, you two just don't get it do you, this has nothing to do with his wealth, he lost his home of 30 years and all his memories. Just because he is rich you say we shouldn't care. Richard Branson gives more to charity in a year than you will steal from the tax payer in a lifetime so get you facts straight and see this for what it is. He deserves his billions as much as you deserve your slum, if you have an issue with success you don't stand much hope to improve yourself. Ju
@paid2pop spot on,poor Richard and your fire such a shame u have too go build anothe mansion on your own tropical fecking paradise....I pay for super fast virgin broadband should be pay4fast get slow virgin broadband/pay4RBnwspaceship
Yeah, that's shitty. Why do people give a shit about this rich mother fuckers problems?!? People are fucking dying from starvation and health problems, and this mother fucker gets all the pity!!! Save that shit. Real people have real problems!! Not this asshole that's so rich, he can fucking buy a rocket and go to the MOON! Give to those in NEED, don't surround yourself with riches, bitches and greed!!!
It was struck by lightning, no ones fault. Unlucky Mr Branson, it's a shame when something like this happens especially since it was genuinely your home with all your photos and memories like a previous comment said. All the best for the future.
Very sad, both the loss of a family home and also the sad people who post nasty things. The ones who care matter, the ones that slander are probably from Croydon, the arse of the uk.
All you idiots complaining about the quality, I'm sure you'd all remain calm enough to set your camera on your phone to the right settings, then set the tripod up to make sure the video of your house and personal possessions going up in flames was good enough for the people on YouTube to enjoy.
For people who don't know what caused it or what happened. At 4am the island had 90mph or winds and then after that the lighten had strike the main guest house which had set it on fire. It was such a shame I really feel sorry for him and so wanted go to this island
A "dislike" for this video is appropriate. It doesn't matter how much money he has, to loose your house and possessions is a terrible tragedy :( Kate Winslet should receive some sort of bravery award too.
@inneruki Oh yeah, she told me about you. 2 inches? You really weren't born with much going for you were you, know I understand why you're a born loser.
Btw, next time you comeback, try and make it slightly funny and perhaps a little original.
So to confirm, you have no originality, Thanks for clearing that up. You're boring me now anyway, get back to your pathetic life filled with jealousy and hate.
You must be very proud. You're 30 years old and this is what you get a kick out of? I pity people like you, your life must be so sad and lonely. If you think that's successful, well done, but we both know who's the better man here and it sure ain't you.
@dragonoth87 Filmed with a cell pone in the rain because the fucking house is on fire. What, do you want them to have a film crew on hand just for freak accidents?
So Happy that everyone is safe ... and SO sad for the loss .. As a fellow Virgin Islander I understand the challenges and obstacles involved in building such a place.. Best of luck with the rebuild. .... One LoVe
Glad everyone is safe, sorry to hear about your photos and notes - I guess these must have been really precious. Here's to the new Great House! best wishes
No matter how much money one has this stillmust be a very hard time for Richard Brasnon sprry to hear about this, however the main thing is everone is OK! and no lives were lost
Well the video is not so informative but the linked blog is. Really good that nobody got hurt. The worst thing then is to lose all those memories and personal recordings of immaterial, yet enormous value. I wish you all the best, the whole team/family, in rebuilding and thus coping with the losses.
