Virgin Mobile: The Fantastic Tale of Young Branson
Lots can be said and thought about Sir Richard Branson, but the Virgin Group has made its mark with more than 200 companies in over 30 countries. The group has expanded into leisure, travel, tourism, mobile, broadband, TV, radio, music festivals, finance and even health.
Thanks to Virgin Grouo, Branson is apparently the 4th richest citizen of the United Kingdom, according to the Forbes 2011 list of billionaires, with an estimated net worth of US$4.2 billion. Now, whats cool is that even though he might be a bit overloaded with self-confidence - obviously, he is not too found of himself or carried away to feature in his own advert.
Witness Sir Richard Branson’s life-long quest to create a mobile phone company in 1960s London that answers to a Higher Calling™.
