I'm sure owning a private island doesn't hurt either :p Branson's a fascinating character - that cover story Forbes ran a few years back about Branson and other successful people who were all afflicted with dyslexia really helped motivate my younger brother who has a really severe case, so for being a good role model for people like my brother he has my thanks.
