What is Richard Branson’s net worth?
Sir Richard is said to have a net worth of around £3.8billion and is a self-made businessman who launched his company Virgin almost 50 years ago.
The Virgin boss was born in Blackheath, London, in 1950 and started his first venture, Virgin Records, in 1972, which he later sold to EMI in 1992 for £500million.
The dad-of-two has started up some very lucrative companies along the way, including Virgin Atlantic Airways in 1984 and Virgin Trains in 1993.
He also has a keen interest in space, and launched space tourism company Virgin Galactic in 2004, with the hope of offering future trips to space for £153,000 a go.
Sir Richard has also created Virgin Media, Virgin Racing and Virgin Comics.
