Sir Richard Charles Nicholas Branson (born 18 July 1950) is an English


businessman and investor. He is best known as the founder of Virgin Group,
which comprises more than 400 companies.[4] At the age of sixteen his first
business venture was a magazine called Student.[5] In 1970, he set up a mailorder record business. In 1972, he opened a chain of record stores, Virgin
Records, later known as Virgin Megastores. Branson's Virgin brand grew rapidly
during the 1980s, as he set up Virgin Atlantic and expanded the Virgin Records
music label. In July 2015, Forbes listed Branson's estimated net worth at US $5
billion.[3] Branson was born in Blackheath, London, the eldest of three children of
Eve Branson (ne Flindt or Huntley-Flindt; born 1924), a former ballet dancer and
air hostess, and Edward James Branson (19182011), a barrister.[6][7] Branson
has two younger sisters.[8] His grandfather, the Right Honourable Sir George
Arthur Harwin Branson, was a judge of the High Court of Justice and a Privy
Councillor.[9] Branson was educated at Scaitcliffe School, a prep school in
Berkshire, before briefly attending Cliff View House School in Sussex.[10]
Branson attended Stowe School, an independent school in Buckinghamshire until
the age of sixteen.[10] Branson has dyslexia and had poor academic
performance as a student, and on his last day at school, his headmaster, Robert
Drayson, told him he would either end up in prison or become a millionaire.[10]
Branson's parents were supportive of his endeavours from an early age.[11]
Branson started his record business from a church where he ran Student
magazine. Branson interviewed several prominent personalities of the late 1960s
for the magazine including Mick Jagger and R. D. Laing.[12] Branson advertised

popular records in The Student and it was an overnight success.[13] Trading


under the name "Virgin", he sold records for considerably less than the "High
Street" outlets, especially the chain W. H. Smith. Branson once said, "There is no
point in starting your own business unless you do it out of a sense of frustration."
The name "Virgin" was suggested by one of Branson's early employees because
they were all new at business.[14] At the time, many products were sold under
restrictive marketing agreements that limited discounting, despite efforts in the
1950s and 1960s to limit so-called resale price maintenance.[15]
Branson eventually started a record shop in Oxford Street in London. In 1971,
Branson was questioned in connection with the selling of records in Virgin stores
that had been declared export stock. The matter was never brought before a
court because Branson agreed to repay any unpaid tax and a fine. Branson's
mother, Eve, re-mortgaged the family home to help pay the settlement.[14] The
Manor Studio, Richard Branson's recording studio in the manor house at the
village of Shipton-on-Cherwell in Oxfordshire. Earning enough money from his
record store, Branson in 1972 launched the record label Virgin Records with Nik
Powell and bought a country estate north of Oxford, in which he installed a
residential recording studio, The Manor Studio.[16] He leased out studio time to
fledgling artists, including multi-instrumentalist Mike Oldfield, whose debut
album Tubular Bells (1973) was the first release for Virgin Records and became a
chart-topping best-seller.[17] Virgin signed such controversial bands as the Sex
Pistols, which other companies were reluctant to sign. It also won praise for
exposing the public to such obscure avant-garde music as Faust and Can. Virgin
Records also introduced Culture Club to the music world. In 1982, Virgin
purchased the gay nightclub Heaven. In 1991, in a consortium with David Frost,
Branson made an unsuccessful bid for three ITV franchisees under the CPV-TV
name. The early 1980s also saw his only attempt as a produceron the novelty
record, "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep", by Singing Sheep in association with Doug
McLean and Grace McDonald. The recording was a series of sheep baa-ing along
to a drum-machine-produced track and reached number 42 in the UK charts in
1982.[18] In 1992, to keep his airline company afloat, Branson sold the Virgin
label to EMI for 500 million.[19] Branson said that he wept when the sale was
completed because the record business had been the very start of the Virgin
empire. In 1996 he created V2 Records to re-enter the music business, owning
5% himself.[20]
