Richard is good-looking and extremely good, which is attractive to begin with. He also makes a billion greenbacks before breakfast—and still knows a way to celebrate. Few people in up to date business are as colorful, shrewd, and irreverent, and doubtless 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 money exceedingly well: no necktie, no chauffeur, no snooty clubs. . . . What continues to line Branson apart is that the unique -- and, to some, baffling -- nature of his ambition. . . . He isn’t inquisitive about power within the usual sense of influencing other people. . . . Boiled right down to its singular essence, Richard Branson simply needs to own fun. Richard Branson . . . is dressed to the nines: in a $10,000 white silk bridal robe with a traditional veil and train and acres of lace. . . . Branson is predicted to try to to the sudden, even the bizarre -- anything to publicize his latest venture. . . . the very fact is, Branson’s widely reported stunts seem virtually staid compared to the unconventional way he manages his burgeoning empire.
