1 Sir Richard Branson while in boarding school was a better athlete than he was a student.
2 He got the idea of owning an airline from his mother who was an airline hostess who had to pretend she was a man in order to become a pilot instructor.
3 He learned the lesson on independence the hard way as a four year old when his parents intentionally dropped him insisting that he should find his way, of course he got lost.
4 He got his expulsion letter from school overturned after writing a fake suicide note.
5 Though not a graduate, he uses the most unorthodox methods of licensing out his brand and promoting his products.
6 He sold his record label Virgin Record for a billion dollars which he used to purchase his airline from the banks
7 The name 'Virgin' was suggested by a member of his staff and the reason was because he and his team were complete virgins in the business world.
8 Though wealthy he is a lover of simplicity
9 He got his entrepreneurial spirit from his parents who in their spare time made extra income for the family
10 He created the reality show, 'The Rebel Billionaire'
