Innocence is lost only once, but in Richard Branson’s case, it’s not quite like that. In both business and adventures, every day he tries to do something for the first time in his life. Branson is an outstanding entrepreneur, founder of the Virgin group of companies, a seeker of adventures, and a person who moves the world forward. He was on the brink of death 75 times, managed a huge number of diverse—but successful—businesses, and founded several charitable organizations. In 1998, Branson’s autobiography was already published. But over the last 20 years so much has happened that he had to write a continuation. Richard Branson talks about his relationships with Presidents Obama and Trump, about friendship and rivalry with Elon Musk, about trains, planes, and satellites, about spacecraft and Hyperloop—plus his adventures on water, in the mountains, and in the air.
Richard Branson is a British entrepreneur, philanthropist, billionaire, and adventurer. He built the Virgin Group corporation, which includes about 400 different companies: from publishing and fitness clubs to air transportation and space tourism.
