  • Gentlemen its called P.R.

  • This is very inspiring and empowering! It shares lets many know that "It's Possible". Great share!!! Thank you! :)

  • I've just finished "Loosing My Virginity" and what an enjoyable read it was. I now know more than I did about Richard and I think he's a smashing feller who has led amazing life. Definitely a force for good in the world and I wish him and all his family all the best in the future.

  • Hello, this is Mark from Startup-Builder... Good content, but I found this rather dry... That being said... my videos are sometimes dry as well! It is hard to engage your audience and present your content in an exciting manner. Keep it up... you inspired me to improve. Thanks,

  • Hey, your video has good content, but I am not sure I totally agree with it... I guess that is why everyone has a channel and opinion right? Either way I like the content and the presentation. I picked up a few ideas from this video so thank you for posting. May I ask, how you go about determining what to make video content about? Are you looking for trending topics or are you just making content around what you think people should be consuming online? I am trying to figure out my process...

  • What a great example of what you can become if you focus on what you want. Never letting obstacles of life and surrounding affect you. Thank you Sir Richard!

  • Spoken so well that you nearly believe this prick. That is until you see the picture of him and Al Gore at 5:41

  • @mazk1985 Who gives a shit who he's with?

    Keep your propaganda out of Sir Richard Branson's shit. He's the Chuck Norris of business.

  • @Flea817 True it doesn't matter who he's with. He's still a prick and propaganda you say? What's my agenda for spreading lies about Branson. To make people not like him cos I'm super jealous?? Please. No I'm spreading truth cos he is an elitist who buys assets from the taxpayer for 50% of what we paid for it. The government and him squandered practically 1billion pounds and you love him? Your offending a great man like Chuck Norris by using him to describe an elitist business man

  • @mazk1985 It's called business. Read one of his books. They're easy and quick reads and explain the responsibility that comes with functional Capitalism.

    If we're judging realistic personas here, Chuck Norris probably isn't the greatest example. He blindly supports Ron Paul and has become a commerical whore.

  • @Flea817 Business is when a company/customer trades with another company/customer NOT when the government trades with companies. Thats called socialism or more precisely a subsidy. Subsidies and socialism is not good as it takes money from one area (taxpayers) and gives it to another (company) essentially the gov is picking winners and losers in the economy and always waste money. A hospital near us wasted £200K on carpet recently cos they didnt think about the wheels rolling on it

  • Off course he's rich, Cameron handed him Northrock at a 50% discount while the British public has to carry the bad debt, I would not use Northrock or Virgin for anything in the future & see how the virgin crap empire fairs.

  • rich+bastard branson = RICHARD BRANSON!

  • he is so down to earth and unpretentious. Ugh love him.

  • He is so cool!

  • it seems like no negativity can touch him

  • if any of u are interested, google Kjell Inge Røkke. a norwegian business man, college drop out because of his dyslexia. now billionaire. these stories are truly inspiring.

  • Aint she the same woman who interviewd charlie sheen?

  • @TheLyckety ...to put to good use"

  • He is rich because he runs businesses that rip people off. SHYSTER .... HYPOCRITE

    Rich... so what? This is just an example of an Upper Class Pommy bastard.

  • @Reproducer100 Shyster hypocrites that run businesses that rip people off do not stay in business long. His record speaks for itself. If you can't handle that, then start your own company and kick his ass. Then sit back, collect your money while other rays of sunshine like yourself can call you a shyster hypocrite. :)

  • thumbs up if you have the same birthday as him

  • i'm reading his book now "Screw It, Let's Do It". I bought it yesterday and I'm already halfway through it... it's an easy and quick read and it's very inspirational! he's a great man, very confident and motivational!

  • @heyfkldsm Great book! Read it as well

  • Richard Branson is very great man & entrepreneur. I have a website with information on hundreds of thousands telecommuting jobs & business along with a live-steam of 20,000 current telecommuting jobs. The website in on my profile.

  • like if collegehumor brought you here(:

  • college humor brought me here

  • I think Richard Branson had a huge influence on the Venus Project. (Venus Project and Virgin)

  • @ChuckNorrisKratosLOL I'd be positive too with 4 billion in the bank

  • @zamardii12 You'd have 4 billions in the bank if you were as positive as him.

  • ummm

  • Sir Richard Brandson!

    The best ENTREPRENEUR in the world!

    I Love Virgin group!

  • So much better than Trump

  • He is very good at what he does - making money for himself, but is grossly overrated in terms of his economic contribution to society and his image as sort of the "nice" tycoon.

  • seems like a very cool guy!!

  • If you have the determination and the will to live life to the full you will be Richard Branson. I do not begrudge him 1 penny of his fortune.

  • This guy is a business hero!

  • Branson seems like a wonderful man. Probably a great father.

  • Hello Branson

    I respect you and what you stand for in the world.

    I think you are a powerfull person.

    I would suggest a partnership about making the world more GREEN and better for the animals.

    Contact me for setting up a meeting about that.

    Love

  • Money money money money money....... Gimme more money

  • coffee logic

  • I find Richard Branson absolutely irresistible!

  • BILL-ionare Gates

    RICH-ard Branson

    I notice a strong correlation between money and money.

  • He is one of the most inspirational people on earth. Success is not an accident. Branson has the mindset of a winner!

    Thanks for sharing and have a powerful day!

    RB

  • He is "Rugal Bernstein" the final boss from King of fighter

  • MY IDOL I WORSHIP YOU!

  • cool

  • My Idol

  • The Value of a person like Sir Richard Branson can not be measured

    Visonaries like him are beyond price

  • He is amazing.

  • sucked in people i have dyslexia as well

    suck it to all those people who said i was dumb

  • @underdeafeat

    Just because Richard Branson is smart it doesn't mean you are too. I'm not calling you dumb, but you just have the wrong idea from what Richard said.

  • @Jesse4Jezza i was just joking

  • @Jesse4Jezza hey mate what the fuck u hurt his feelings, u should apologize, hes struggling with his dyslexia then a fuck face like you comes along and makes fun of him! i have dyslexi to bubarbgivrbibhIRHVIH;H U WANNA FIGHT US CUNT HWIHio DYSLEXIA BCWIEHBVGIOBRI'

  • @Jesse4Jezza cake ass nigga u should come to 109 street nigga ill show u what a guy with dyslexia can do u white ass paper boy

  • @underdeafeat i feel ur pain dog <3 vfauvha;uhvioho

  • the book "Branson" by Tom Bower tells all--fair chance that Branson ends up fulfilling the "prison" part of the original prediction

  • Comment removed

  • My virgin mobile phone hold me down.

  • of course he was artist and then he made some money and did antoher proejekt dont make him an entepenour for that his real company is virgin

  • I would give anything to work for this man.

  • It's actually quite sweet to see how he seems to be a bit nervous in the beginning.

  • Branson is a multiMILLION in a Prison...Prisoner of Satan

  • @FOBmuzungu You can't even spell, but like Richard maybe even you could be a millionaire?

  • talented man

  • We should nominate him for the next annual world list of top Very Talented Person "TOP V.T.P. AWARDS"...

  • Actually, I'd have to say that Hugh Hefner is the luckiest person in the world.

  • true entrepreneur! hope he stays that way

  • "He saw something in me" Yes Richard apparently from what I have seen of your Virgin Mobile "service" I would venture a guess that it was your mendacious streak coupled with a certain ruthlessness. I do however admire success as much as the next person, but it is all in the doing. I quite frankly bought your image and hoped you were different and better than the usual run of the mill corporate pirate but my experience doing business with Virgin has taught me otherwise.

  • Entrepreneur = a parasite, a con man someone who makes money out of other people's great ideas

  • @G666leCreepsMeOut not correct

  • @G666leCreepsMeOut Entrepreneur= a person who organizes and operates a business or businesses, taking on greater than normal financial risks in order to do so.

  • @G666leCreepsMeOut an idea is one thing,having the bollocks to do it is another!!

  • Holy shit! I'm a dyslexic high school drop out!  Now, just need the richest man in the world.

  • A very inspirational guy

  • Take Sir Richard Branson and take Donald Trump, then you'll understand how amazing this guy is in many aspects. He and Bill Gates are one of the few billionaires I would like to shake hands with.

  • Richard Branson is a visionary. He is very good at bringing things to market, that the market is actually willing to pay for as well.

  • 23rd April 2010. Richard Branson's Virgin Atlantic is accused of fixing Hong Kong flight prices after rival airline Cathay Pacific turned whistleblower and handed over evidence to the UK's Office for Fair Trading.

    This comes after the much publicised British Airway & Virgin Atlantic Price Fixing scandal where Branson 'spilt his guts' in return for immunity. BA got a £121.5m fine from the OFT and a further $100m penalty from the US Department of Justice.

    .

    What a criminal scumbag he is.

  • This guy is just a douche with billions... let's move on to someone who has a true soul.

    Yeah a soul. Something rich people should acquire so that they can use all their wealth to HELP people not just themselves into a life of hedonism.

  • @darthspeaks Did you not listen to the interview you dumbass? Not only did he say that the money he generates is used to create employment throughout the world, he also said that much of it goes to charitable causes.

  • @JoeJC You know - I stopped reading what you said when I got the word 'dumbass". How unfortunate - you MAYBE had some kind of point.

  • @darthspeaks I apologise for calling you a dumbass.

  • @JoeJC Didn't mean to jump you on it. I have been getting ALOT of words like that (worse even) from people who just don't get that morality is NOT relative, you know? After 12 comments where people insult you - you just kind of don't read further with insults in the first sentence. It is NOTHING against you, man. And you candor is very rare on the internet and I commend you on it. :)

    "A soft word turneth away wrath."

    -Proverbs 15:1

    You applied that here.

  • @darthspeaks thank you. wise words friend!

  • He's a slippery eel I'd say. They don't call him tricky Dicky for nothing. Warren Buffet comes across as more sincere.

  • Get your hair cut and shave you old fart

  • He's not a businessman, he's a self promoting smug cunt. And his granny backed him with £1m to buy a manor house -to convert outbuildings into a studio.

    And all this stuttering "good old Richard" way of talking is BULLSHIT. The guy is a control freak. Someone needs to give him a good smack.

  • Stupid interviewer, what a waste.

  • is this man is the brother of  RUGAL BERNSTEIN

    they have the leters R & B in his names ¿?

  • thats funny go to 3.59 and watch the sun go away in the backround 4:02

  • I wanna be a successful man like him soon wish willing

  • I seen him and another guy at a lil hole in the wall bar here in Anchorage Alaska last summer.

  • Nice.

  • I think Richard Branson's mindset has a lot to do with his success. Anyone who talks seriously about space tourism clearly has no mental boundaries. Better still, nobody has ever doubted he can do it.

  • @KamikazeElvis Anybody can do it if you have the money

  • @KamikazeElvis question for the person who must be going the right direction since he watched and commented this video. I want to open a gym near my house after doing the maths they make alot of money though the only place in the area is owned by an op shop chain which is located across from a new development which will house 500 plus people with shops etc now the op shop known as red cross has said to my email to have them move in way for the gym we have no plans to move. to be continued

  • @KamikazeElvis so continued on from the last. this is after i wrote a text book letter in line with all the psychology book. so what you you suggest i do now its the only place around and is the exact right size and i need to get in before the new complex is open and i can't put it in the new complex for its going Im not financed to do it like that. what do i say in my next letter. it need to cater to their needs and give them an eager want. and i need this gym

  • this man has it all.From phone lines to tv and even airports.Hes one of the down to earth celebraties

  • I understand that many of the most successful entrepreneurs known today were business minded at an early age.

    Thus, were winners of a fantastic combination: Ambition & Timing!

  • wow he's such a great guy. even though he didn't finish college he's still a successful businessman thanks to his passion.

  • this guys on our wish list for sure for future Irish Entrepreneur Superconferences

  • hes not richer than bill gates

  • This guy puts his money where his mouth is. I have heard that he has committed to over 3 billion dollars for Bill Clinton's Global Fund.

  • at last I hear him! Now overreading his book, such a great person! )

  • 1 of the biggest sheisters on the face of he planet

  • Legend love the books

  • No he is no what you define.....simple do the research ! google it

    Then explain

  • Everyone ASAP go to this youtube

    and read the comments and listen to the important messages and tell everyone ASAP world-wide

  • Comment removed

  • theres always gottta be a hater eh ....go fuck yourself faggot .....richard branson is the truth

  • at least he's not a twat like you

  • So,Knobhead , you don't deny what I say?

  • I do deny it. And he's done more than you'll ever do so stop leaving gay little messages on youtube sad act.

  • You don't know what I've done so shut it you arse licker.

  • soz bill gates

  • I bet he pays his taxes and doesn't pay sychophants to monitor you tube.

  • brilliant!

  • I bet the interviewer took an age to get the brown stuff off his tongue.

  • Richard is my role model, if I had the chance to meet him.... it'd change my life. He is truely my hero, if i was dieing - he'd be one of the people i'd love to see before i died.

  • Remarkable! Keep it up!

  • The most humble billionaire on the planet. He does important things with his money and not just for the tax write-offs like Gates and Buffett.

    Richard is an inspiration to me and I would love to meet and/or work for him and his company!

    He's just that cool!

  • I actually think Bill Gates is a nice guy. Everything he does he does sincerely.

  • I can't disagree with you there vivace. I DO like Bill, however I just think if those 3 very interesting gentlemen were in the same room I would probably gravitate to Branson just because I think he'd be the most approachable. Buffet's cool too I hear. :)

  • @vivace737

    Well.....you might want to read about his management style.

    Though he's an extremely hard worker.

  • What a great man, very down to earth and driven.

  • Plant More Trees....Provide Oxygen for Tomorrows Children...Yours...

  • Your Fired! Branson, your virgin internet is shit!

    Now your slowing down people with Rapidshare accounts so it not worth downloading!, why dont you give people the service they pay for?

    You will never get a penny of my money again.

  • Who cares about your opinion? Not him. Get a new ISP.

  • You have some issues man.....

    Maybe you would feel alittle bit happier if you would appreciate somebody doing that well.

  • why?

  • oh. that makes sense. kay.

  • He's not a business man, he's an Artist. Business is his medium.

    Truly amazing.

  • This guy is the motherfucking Hank Scorpio!!

    I love him!

  • He's a great motivator & by just reading his profile motivates! What a success!!

  • Branson is the best. Really wish I could meet him.

  • So would I, It would feel really good to punch him in the face!

  • He is indeed a fasinating individual with unique vision.

    It's interesting to view the people that make negative comments. They generally have very little substance to their efforts.

  • Richard is just like this in real life.

    So easy going not i am better than you attitude.

    If you enjoy what you do and think new ideas success will come.

  • You wrote that you don't belive in God (i think you meant man made religion) i think God believes in you

  • this dude is soo lucky he is like a HUGE insperation to me

  • nwo fake carbon tax shill with a bad haircut and huge ego, u actually fall for this wankers bs?

    sheep

  • Richard Branson is a HUGE inspiration in terms of showing us why it's so important to generate a big income... The more you have, the more you can give.
