Virgin: A History of Virgin Records

Richard is good-looking and extremely good, that is horny to start out with. He also makes a billion bucks before breakfast—and still is aware of the way to commemorate. Few individuals in modern business are as colourful, shrewd, and irreverent, and probably no one’s nearly as much fun to be around. . . . Branson embodies America’s cherished mythology of the iconoclastic, swashbuckling entrepreneur. Branson wears his fame and cash exceedingly well: no necktie, no chauffeur, no snooty clubs. . . . What continues to line Branson apart is that the distinctive -- and, to some, baffling -- nature of his ambition. . . . He isn’t curious about power within the usual sense of influencing others. . . . Boiled down to its singular essence, Richard Branson simply needs to have fun. Richard Branson . . . is dressed to the nines: in an exceedingly $10,000 white silk bridal gown with a standard veil and train and acres of lace. . . . Branson is expected to try and do the surprising, even the bizarre -- anything to publicize his latest venture. . . . the very fact is, Branson’s widely reported stunts appear virtually staid compared to the unconventional manner he manages his burgeoning empire.
