  • 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.

  • why 42 dislikes. Glad all is well anyways.

  • Jeez, at least you're all ok man!

    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.

  • Sad to see a burning house, then a naked lady at the end.. Lol

  • And thanks to insurance the rich get richer.

  • Who is this guy anyway

  • Wow, so lucky that everyone got out ok, and what a hero Kate Winslet for saving Richard Branson's mother!

  • costs £33000 to stay there for a night

  • i hope they were ok

  • Very sad, at least no one was hurt.

  • Neked lady FTW 14:00

  • 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.

  • Its not like he had an slr ready to take a video of his house on fire. Have some sense.

    Much respect.

  • @Halliday57 What are you talking about?

  • 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 sad to see a persons memories go up in flames, I never knew how many jealous people there are

  • is that woman naked at the end?

  • @georgegeorge1414 Yeah id say so , awesome !

  • wow thats crazy...i hope richard and family is ok.....all the best

    -v2dheart 4 life!

  • Was this filmed with your dick?

    While you were masterbating?

  • 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.

    All the best

  • 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?

  • So wait, you can afford to stay on the island but can't afford a decent camera phone?

  • fake

  • What I want to know is why Mr. Branson was naked? Getting it on with Kate, maybee? ;D

  • He can just build another one. Won't cost much.

  • Welcome to Good Burger, Home of the Good Burger, May i take your ordeeeer!

  • Cont ...... Just plain jealousy and very sad :-(

  • @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

  • INSURANCE JOB

  • @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!!!

  • hes got money to burn, see what i did there lol

  • Mr branson, fight fire with fire

  • 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.

  • After all, they burn their own town so this has got to amuse the idiots.

  • 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.

  • Very decent guy and sad some of you have bad words. Good luck with the rebuild.

  • He may be a billionaire but that doesn't mean you can't be sad about your house being on fire

    All his family photos and memories were destroyed in this fire

    He has lived there for like 30 years, how would you feel?

  • BRANSON youve got all the money in the world, Buy a decent camera phone and stop being so bloody miserable

  • Richard it could have been CIA as your trip to space project is farther than what used to be NASA.

    All the best sir.

  • Sorry for your loss Richard. You're one of the few rich people that are actually decent.

  • Who records for 17 seconds seriously -_-

  • ya cause you know, if my house was burning down in front of me i'd just stand there and film it to..

  • ive got a potatoe thats got better quality than this......

  • 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.

  • No fire station on the island I think. Good to see no one is hurt.

  • Did you film this with a calculator?

  • My prayers to you. Also, folks, please be nice. 

  • Damn...that has to suck. Such a beautiful house!

  • 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

  • You'd think Richard Branson, as rich as he is, would have a better quality mobile phone?

  • THE ROOF, THE ROOF, THE ROOF IS ON FIRE

    WE DON'T NEED NO WATER LET THE MOTHER FUCKER BURN

  • for a billionaire, you think he'd have found something better to record with...like a toaster

  • Bad luck Richard... at least everyone got out safely, especially dear ol' Mum!!

  • like if u think richard branson is really iron man

  • 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.

  • feel sorry for Richard he Earnt and worked hard to get that island.

  • filmed with a calculator

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, no sympathy

  • @inneruki

    Why? Because he has achieved more than you? I think the emotion you're experiencing is called jealousy.

  • @djtimwright no, but im pretty sure that jealousy was experienced by your dad when i had my cock in your mum's ass

  • @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.

  • @djtimwright if you want my comeback you can get it from ur mum

  • @inneruki

    Wow, another original one. Not heard that before. Do you just rehash all the mum jokes you've heard in the past?

  • @djtimwright i rehashed your mum

  • @inneruki

    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.

  • @djtimwright successful troll is successful :)

  • @inneruki

    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.

  • @djtimwright Yesss let the hate flow through you

  • @djtimwright everything on the inetrweb is real, even my age. just cause ur a candy-ass roody-poo doesnt mean ur right. trollolololol ftw

  • @inneruki because your a cunt

  • Wow that sucks. I saw this place featured on travel channel and it seemed like an amazing place. I wonder how the fire started started.

  • kate winslet..

    watta hero.

  • oh thats too bad, not the fire, that fact that the matches that started the fire was also used to record it.

  • YOU FUCKING DARED ME! you said, YOU FUCKING SAID "You can't light my own farts"...

  • sorry to see/hear about this :(

  • Comment removed

  • richard your a rich boy im sure you can just buy another island ...

  • cool story bro

  • Filmed with a rock

  • @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?

  • @DasVERMiT Yup, I have one set up outside my house so if something awesome happens it will be recorded at 1080p.

  • So lucky no one got hurt.

  • richard branson is the most boring man on the planet

  • Thumbs up if YAHOO! News brought you here!! :)

  • Glad everyone made it out safely! You're an inspiration to all us small business owners Sir Richard; sorry for your loss, but I know you'll rebuild!!

  • Hey man I saw this on the news. Sorry for your loss. I guess this means build it better than ever. But it was pretty damn nice. Good luck.

  • Ohhhh how terrible. My heart goes out 2 u all. Glad everyone is ok but so sorry it happened. Best wishes from Down under (OZ) xoxo

  • 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

  • Best wishes Richard, hope you will rebuild soon.

  • i´m glad you guys are fine and no one got hurt.

  • Sorry to hear & see this. Your positivity is inspiring :)

  • So sorry for your loss. I really wished I could have gotten to see the place. I bet the new one will be better!!!

  • 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.
