  • Sir Richard Charles Nicholas Branson on kuuluisa brittiläinen liikemies ja seikkailija, joka tunnetaan Virgin-brändistään. Kuningatar Elisabet II aateloi hänet 1999 kyvyistään ja yritteliäisyydestään Yhdistyneen kuningaskunnan hengessä. Branson on Ison-Britannian seitsemänneksi rikkain Sunday Timesin Rich Listillä 2005.

  • Sir Richard Charles Nicholas Branson, né le 18 juillet 1950 à Shamley Green est un célèbre entrepreneur britannique, connu grâce aux nombreux succès qu'il a rencontrés avec sa marque Virgin, laquelle regroupe de nombreuses activités comme des compagnies aériennes ou des chaînes de distribution. En France, on le connaît surtout comme l'ex-propriétaire des Virgin Megastores (cédés en 2001 au groupe Lagardère). Il a aussi créé, entre autres sociétés : Sony Virgin Atlantic (transport aérien), Virgin Cola, Virgin Direct (produits financiers), Virgin Trains (transports ferroviaires), Virgin Mobile (téléphonie mobile), Virgin Active (Salle de sport), Virgin Money (Finance), Virgin Galactic (Tourisme spatial).
  • Già a 22 anni ebbe un successo strepitoso con la Virgin Records. È uno degli uomini più ricchi del Regno Unito, con patrimonio stimato di 4,4 miliardi di dollari. Ultima avventura per Richard (come si vuole far chiamare dai suoi dipendenti, 30.000 circa) è Virgin Galactic, un viaggio nell'orbita terrestre. Fin d'ora ci sono centinaia di prenotazioni, anche se il primo lancio è previsto per il 2010. Costo approssimativo: 200.000,00 sterline a testa, recentemente un biglietto è stato acquistato dal pilota di formula 1 Rubens Barrichello. Conosciuto da molti come il capitalista hippie, snobba ricevimenti del jet set, adora gli sport estremi, detesta giacca e cravatta. È immerso in molte avventure con la Virgin, tra cui compagnie aeree, carte di credito, assicurazioni pensionistiche, autonoleggi ecc. mostrando una grande versatilità. Viene anche considerato Davide contro Golia, in quanto ha intentato, e vinto, una causa legale contro la compagnia aerea di bandiera inglese, in merito ai famosi dirty tricks. Il preside della scuola che frequentava disse ai suoi genitori: «O finisce in galera o diventerà milionario», in quanto come studente non era dei più meritevoli, ma già alla giovane età di 17 anni dimostrava un'incredibile attitudine all'imprenditoria, avendo fondato il giornalino scolastico Student. Durante il GP di F1 a Melbourne del 2009 le due monoposto Brawn GP hanno sfoggiato il marchio Virgin sulla loro carrozzeria, e visti gli ottimi risultati della neonata scuderia, Branson ha dichiarato di essere pronto a rinnovare la collaborazione.
