Richard Branson: How To Build a Multi-Billion Dollar Empire

[@matthewdrake9699]

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

[@carolinemacrae6227]

Yes but if he was only interested in money , his focus would be limited and he would not be able to tap inton the creativity which is what he really depends on. He can prove his disinterest in money by buying up half of the rainforest so he can protect all 5h3 trees and the creatures living in it. So can all the super rich.

[@applepie8772]

He’s lying imo

[@ZahoiN]

@@carolinemacrae6227 Imagine all the things you can make money of from owning such landscapes. He can rent areas out to various groups etc. IF you have money, it's because you know how to earn money where you can

[@MillhouseSpeaks]

It’s always the rich that say this

[@Hrossey]

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.

[@AmitAujla20]

The performance of the stock has gone down so much over the past year. It’s more like a penny stock now.

[@debspringchannel831]

That means that they know something that you don't.

[@anonymouswhite352]

Elon Musks companies are massively over valued.

[@applepie8772]

Many virgin staff - phone, health … lost their jobs - this is bollocks

[@_Super_Hans_]

He's not interested in money yet he is one of the most prolific tax dodger in British history.

[@jimj2683]

The government just wastes the money, so it is better if he invests that money in other companies/ventures.

[@user3838-c7f]

@@jimj2683 100% i think we'd all have no problem paying taxes , if we felt like it was going to good measures + not to wars our citizens dont care to fund !

[@francisjtuk]

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.

[@graeme4540]

Couldn't agree more.

[@carolinemacrae6227]

@francisjtuk That is right. Money is no hindrance. The next task is what interests him. Like an artist that's gets high on what they are about to create. If we all had the money to survive and more we would not needbto be interested in money then we could use the money to build what we want.😊

[@isashah4325]

He says he's not interested in money, it's because he's got it

[@rosemarybishop5776]

He's also not interested in paying taxes or paying his workers properly.

[@Insolesandlaces]

Listening to his book and what shines out is that he is a really nice bloke who cares deeply about his family and staff.

A seedy chancer - that’s Branson!

[@stevelong7187]

He’s not interested in his taxes either

i want to know how richard knows or found out it was ba accessing his airlines computer infomation when tracing and stuff was not as good ass it is now?

[@FranksFlights]

Luck is enhanced by skill and preparation.

[@tonyenglish2836]

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.

[@carolinemacrae6227]

@tonyenglish2836 Sorry to hear that. He needs to improve his approach. Like Scrooge did.

[@taylorpurum1531]

Oh no I’m sorry had to go through that the same as me devaluing virgin make up shares to nothing nothing gear so is entrepreneur skills are basically legal loopholes creating businesses by devaluing things to gain money. I wonder if we can sleep at night that’s not an entrepreneur you’re not an entrepreneur. You’re a legal robber. You’re a legal evil robber, dirty nasty personwhat good things to do and even if you do one good thing it can’t undo the main bad nasty thing that you value money from people yuck.

Thank you for the video ✨🔥

RICHARD: Here’s a business idea. Purchase my house at market value. Allow me to live in it until my passing where you sell the property at a profit. Interested?

[@Michelle-bo4hj]

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

[@cheshirepiper9254]

I have just blasphemed outrageously!!

As long as we have good new ideas mistakes are forgiven❤❤🎉🎉😂😂

[@ultraluxuriousone1]

yes

[@vine191]

His ego is much much bigger than I thought..

[@mooncat.787]

Piss easy to say when your a multi billionaire.

[@livinlife9895]

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.

[@seanoxborough5830]

Give your money to charity then if money means nothing duhh

[@muhammaduddin9268]

He is pulling your legs obviously.

[@paulryan7140]

Thank you for getting Richard Branson on. Very much appreciated ❤ it excellent to listen to his story. 🤗

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.

[@michaelwecker6345]

money is just a pleasant side effect but it is not his primary focus

[@MarchingOnPod]

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 😂😂

[@25MHzisbest]

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!

[@carolinemacrae6227]

Is Richard related to Scott of Antarctic. I know his cousin is because she is my cousin. Captain Scott married a great grt aunt of mine. He would have known Stella Scott at Dedham Mill.

[@confin123]

It’s easy not being interested in money when you have billions £££££

[@jackie9515]

😈 falling

[@michellecroft415]

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. 🙏

[@FriendlyHomie]

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.

[@shankarbalakrishnan2360]

I'll see u guys on the other side I don't need to sell my soul anymore good luck god bless it will happen soon my prediction

[@exotictramp]

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!

If you dont want it mate you can always give it to me

[@huna1950]

Like other commenters have said-he needs to give context to the money don’t matter thing IE the arc of one’s life timing and environment etc. What he also means is money doesn’t matter as much when your scaling at industrial levels as the other factors are so many-at that level you can often go to market and get ‘other peoples money’ to scale. So the thing that becomes important then is people staff contacts infrastructure etc etc etc. Then on a personal level he’ll because of corporation tax law etc if he looses a billion or makes a billion he’ll be protected in some and or enough ways and a billion more also means at the other end his personal life doesn’t change much in a day to day basis etc. I do admire him but I do prefer when guys at that level don’t do what I interpret as a lazy almost virtue signalling way to where they’ve ended up on the ‘money’ issue. Finally…moneys not important but yet he needed loans to stay afloat…ask him if ‘that’ money was important you might get…..yep…..an honest non lazy answer lol

[@percymuganza4224]

Great great interview Jake...what is the title of the book you're reading from?

[@KhrizBlanko]

He says he’s interested in creating things, so of course he would have a lot of money if he’s that passionate about it. I know he’s rich, but maybe there’s a reason for it …

[@brucesguitardemos8197]

Utter utter nonsense 😂 a privileged guy from the start

[@neilburns8869]

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.

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!
