How Richard Branson Spent $4.4 Billion

Richard Branson has earned a reputation as a fun billionaire. He has a net worth of about $4.4 billion, and has founded numerous successful companies over the years. The Virgin Group founder leads an exciting life filled with adventure and intrigue. He has crossed both the Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean in a hot air balloon, and he crossed the English Channel in an amphibious car in record time. Branson spends his billions investing in his travel empire. He owns a fabulous private island called Necker Island that doubles as a resort and his personal residence. Branson paid a mere $180,000 for Necker Island, and today it’s worth $150 million. Branson owns a private jet that he uses to travel around the world, and he has resorts in Africa, Australia, and Europe. Branson has bought numerous expensive toys that he uses to explore the coastline of Necker Island. He once bought a catamaran and even owns a mini submersible called the Necker Nymph. One of Branson’s main focuses today is his space tourism company Virgin Galactic. Guests can take a sub-orbital trip in Branson’s VSS Unity spacecraft for $250,000. Charity work is one of Branson’s passions. He’s one of the world’s leading philanthropists, and he spends 80% of his time running Virgin Unite, which is the charitable arm of the Virgin Group. Branson and his wife have signed the Giving Pledge and will donate most of their money to charity before they die. Here’s a look at how Richard Branson spends his money.

You don't get to choose how you're going to die, only how you're going to live.

I pray the creator and the ancestors will stand out for you no matter the noise or storm around your life. Their words will speak for you no matter what the enemy is saying or doing to stop you from fulfilling your purpose in life. You will surely be blessed and successful. The enemies will not swallow your glory, you will not miss the best of the land, no one will steal what is rightfully yours and you will be happy forever and never know sorrow in your life. May you be elevated and lifted beyond your imaginations in life. may the love and grace of the gods and the ancestors be upon you and your love ones through the days of your Àse
