As a Virgin Galactic share holder, I can confirm this man isn’t interested in money.
lol
It’s always the rich that say this
Every poor person always says this.
I’d much rather be wealthy, than rich. Rather have a property of vast, high class properties than have a single £ in my bank.
Elon Musks got about 200 grand cash in banks whilst google says he’s worth 150 billion.
If you still don’t get it, you never will.
The performance of the stock has gone down so much over the past year. It’s more like a penny stock now.
That means that they know something that you don't.
It’s easy to not be interested in money, when you have all the money you’ll ever need and not need to think about it
Wealthy people don't need to worry about money. They can focus on things they're interested in knowing that they can pay the bills. That way of thinking doesn't scale well to the middle and working classes though.
Couldn't agree more.
Sadly, my business had a number of dealings with a variety of virgin companies and they were the biggest bunch of mean, money grabbing people I had the misfortune to deal with. The hype is bull, many of the virgin businesses failed leaving creditors out of pocket as they stretched the brand to its limits. So, some very creative accountants built overvalued business on a brand built on his wholesome image.
He's also not interested in paying taxes or paying his workers properly.
Oh, that's interesting. Perhaps he wont mind using some of his to set an example by helping to reduce world poverty and deprivation.
Like Bill Gates?
The rest of the world doesn't need people like that.
The is Man has done a lot of good things in life.
Listening to his book and what shines out is that he is a really nice bloke who cares deeply about his family and staff.
You missed your vocation in life you should of been a top stand up comedian
He's not interested in money yet he is one of the most prolific tax dodger in British history.
Richard some of us who believed in you and your services! Would agree! I'm not so lucky and took out a virgin credit card some 15 years ago! These people make a farce of your belief in not being interested in making money! They took me to the cleaners! I'm dyslexic and struggled to fight these guys under your name! The made my depression worse and I even had panic attacks in court! You are winging it like most people so yeah! Luck was on your side but believe me karma is going to hopefully make you see justice to all those who your company has made a misery for year's!
One guest better than the other lately! I've read many books from Richard, what an inspiring person. Thanks for this!
Brainwashed and deluded beyond belief.
It's about time he realised the money was not mental for him. It was meant to be given away. Claiming to be the highest paid is not why he got give the money in the first place. Nobody anywhere needs that much of anything. One life with that much money has to be expected to come with one hell of a lot of being letters. I hope he can live with the way he has spent money after so many in Britain go homeless and hugry everyday. Richard for God sake man give it all away before it's too late. Why because you need to for your own souls progression 😮. Ment in the highest respect. Money isn't what you need. You need humility just like everyone else. 🙏
Well, he does care about money and profit is a priority. He doesnt care about the less fortunate. He'd happily take a homeless mans last £1 if he owed it to Richard.
The man who wanted a £700 million handout from the government who isn't interested in money, let alone the. $150,000 to rent his private island
Exactly.
We have spent best part of 30 yrs spinning ideas and not creating❤❤🎉🎉
Sorry verbier Switzerland,shock 😮
I have just blasphemed outrageously!!
As long as we have good new ideas mistakes are forgiven❤❤🎉🎉😂😂
He’s not interested in his taxes either
Great interview with a very interesting man who has had a very interesting life , but his life even from young is not working class so he really doesn't have a clue what the majority of us go through . I will give my manager a good insite on how some thing could improve, and am told just put the veg or meat on the shelf and work faster . Branson doesn't have a clue what us minions go through, all to keep the wolf from the door. Its all about the boss and share holders
Did Virgin Money stock go up or down?
FFS Richard.
Give your money to charity then if money means nothing duhh
He is pulling your legs obviously.
Piss easy to say when your a multi billionaire.
Thank you for getting Richard Branson on. Very much appreciated ❤ it excellent to listen to his story. 🤗
I’m not interested in money. After living like a king and a playboy for decades and spending millions on self aggrandising vanity projects? 😂😂
You can’t make this stuff up. How can you keep a straight face while interviewing this guy?!?
Absolutely wild 😂😂
Ha ha , just don’t look what I was doing. Just smile fools
His ego is much much bigger than I thought..
Can't beat a flight from LHR-JFK, JFK-LHR with Virgin Atlantic. 14th February 2020, there was a buzz on board from the cabin crew, when I mentioned Virgin had just kicked BA's arse getting back from JFK to LHR in a record time.
“It’s true that we were narrowly beaten by a BA Boeing 747, however they had twice the amount of engines and burnt twice as much fuel as Captain Chris in our brand-new, fuel efficient Airbus A350-1000,” Virgin said.
And yes the scone with Rodda's clotted cream was the icing on the cake!
Richard brownstone could you help me
Dont jump your guns it will put pressure on the global economy❤❤🎉🎉 not jump your bones
I am saddened by some of the comments to this interview, not because I directly disagree with people, but because there is so much unhappiness and frustration due to wealth inequality. I believe Richard knows he is detached from ordinary people through his wealth, but if you really listen to him, he is telling us all that it is possible to take and manage risk to achieve greater control in your life.
I have been entrepreneurial most of my adult life….with mixed success……including some bad outcomes……it’s not an easy path to take but I still work to crest businesses and build employment opportunities for others. I recognise, of course, why many capable people will never be entrepreneurs.
As I have aged I would now say that knowing what is least uncomfortable for yourself as your existence is probably more important than a certainty of success or wealth.
Great great interview Jake...what is the title of the book you're reading from?
True really poor entrepreneurship without understanding it's long term implications❤❤🎉🎉cash flow spins
😈 falling
Im not interested in making money, I'm not interested in losing money, so as soon as you owe us we'll be in contact. We owe you? Money doesnt matter to me, but we'll try and find a way to not pay you.
Hello Richard exhaustion has become a part of life in the huge influx outflux of energy❤❤🎉🎉
His not interested in making money because his money is making money.
Dirty old bunions don't ever fall off on their own.
When we need you’ve too speak god will
It’s easy not being interested in money when you have billions £££££
🎉party shame
he's interested in kids
Maybe his wafe should pay for her hair appointments,she dobe a runner,,,in verbia
reminds me of (not so much a) Lady Victoria Hervey was it?
Pay very strict attention: this is the reason that Virgin Trains were the most loved and the most successful of private railway companies in the UK.
Why anything that the Virgin Group turn their attention to they receive good reviews because they actually care.
Those staff who worked on the West Coast mainline both at the stations and on the Virgin trains and who now work for Avanti will tell you why Virgin were much better because they cared.
Utter utter nonsense 😂 a privileged guy from the start
😂
I find this hilarious coming from someone who has loads of money! I don't care about money????? Hypocrisy 2024 style.
Coming from a family that watches every penny. A billionaire that doesn't care about money. Yeah right. Goes to show these guys live on a different planet in different dimension to us. I actually find this shite offensive. He talks about struggles and hardships 😅😅😅😅
Go to a country where parents can't feed the kids or give them fresh water. That's where the struggles are. DOOSH!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lot of jealous comments on here.
Since when has telling the truth and stating facts being translated into being jealous.
Yeah right…
No disrespect to you, Mr. Branson you have no interest in money yes because you are incredibly rich. I would be the same. I’m just saying.
