The Entrepreunerial Individual (Express Exec)
Richard is good-looking and extremely sensible, which is attractive to start out with. He also makes a billion greenbacks before breakfast—and still is aware of a way to celebrate.
Few individuals in contemporary business are as colorful, 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 the distinctive -- and, to some, baffling -- nature of his ambition. . . . He isn’t inquisitive about power within the usual sense of influencing others. . . . Boiled all the way down to its singular essence, Richard Branson simply wants to have fun.
Richard Branson . . . is dressed to the nines: during a $10,000 white silk bridal robe with a standard veil and train and acres of lace. . . . Branson is expected to try and do the unexpected, 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.
