Richard Branson

Richard Branson has a decent family, but he had a really hard time in school because of his dyslexia and he dropped out at the age of sixteen. That incident, however, led him to launch a youth-culture magazine that was managed by students. In 1969, he came up with an idea to establish a mail-order record firm known as Virgin.

Branson started a recording studio in 1972 and success happened little by little for him. Today, Virgin Group holds over four hundred companies in different countries. He explored several industries such as banks, hotels, airlines, space tourism, and mobile phone companies. Branson is one of the world’s wealthiest people with a net worth of $5 billion.
